Ruth strives to create therapeutic relationships which are nurturing for the client and allow them to understand and explore their relationship with themselves and the environment around them in a safe, gentle and supportive way.

Ruth has experience working with people from varying backgrounds and with a range of presenting issues including anxiety, depression, bereavement and loss, relationship issues, attachment issues and struggles with self-esteem.

“I am passionate about and love working with people, and I truly believe that each person is their own expert with the ability to understand themselves and bring about change within their own lives. I feel deeply that psychotherapy creates a platform and a safe space to enable the individual to feel empowered to do this. I work from an integrative perspective, incorporating different approaches into my work. My practice is grounded in a humanistic, person-centred approach but incorporates other psychotherapeutic models including Psychodynamic theory, Psychosynthesis, Attachment theory and Existential theories. This enables me to work collaboratively with clients and allows me to adapt my approach based on individual clients’ needs and wants, thus finding a therapeutic approach that is best suited to the individual.”
Experience working with: Anxiety, depression, bereavement and loss, relationship issues, attachment issues, self-esteem, body image, anger management, personal development, women’s health, gender and sexual identity.
