More about Ruth

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

Hello, I'm Ruth. After two decades in the demanding media industry, I began my journey to become a counsellor in 2016. My own experience with the pressures of that environment ultimately inspired my dedication to helping others find their balance.

I hold an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling and a mindfulness teaching qualification. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

My approach is built on the belief that we all possess innate resilience. As a counsellor, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to support you through challenges like stress, anxiety, loss, addiction, low self-esteem, aging, and relationship issues.

The therapeutic relationship is central to our work together. By walking alongside you, I aim to create an anchored, trusting connection that empowers you to explore your feelings and move towards a more fulfilling life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
