About Ruth
She practises from a broadly psychodynamic background while drawing on several approaches. Sessions often centre on relationships, intimacy-related issues and the practical problems that come with life changes. She aims to help people feel more empowered and to take clear steps forward.
Her background includes founding and running a charity that supported people with special needs and their families for 12 years. That work, and research on how hearing loss affects family life, shape how she listens and responds. She is an experienced lipreader.
Ruth has a long-standing interest in intercultural relationships and has done research and writing on the topic. She also spends time training other organisations on diversity matters, bringing practical examples from her clinical and research work.
In practice she combines client-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas, Jungian perspectives and narrative techniques. People can expect a collaborative dialogue that looks at patterns in relationships, past influences and the stories people tell about themselves.
Her work covers a broad range of concerns including grief, parenting, trauma and emotional difficulties such as anxiety and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and she sees clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Approach-driven online counselling and therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy views difficult relationship patterns as rooted in early bonds and current connections; it helps people understand how those patterns affect trust and closeness. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and supporting the client to find their own solutions and direction. Jungian Therapy draws on symbols, personal meaning and life stories to help people find deeper understanding and purpose.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then tailor methods collaboratively. That process means approaches can be adjusted as therapy unfolds to better fit your needs.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also be a practical option when quieter surroundings or less screen time are preferable. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss how to adapt the chosen approach for remote sessions and what will work best for each person.
