Ruth Pringle

I'm a UKCP registered and BACP accredited Gestalt Psychotherapist.

I’m passionate about supporting people to find their own rhythm, pace, felt experience and place in the world and I have particular skills and experience in working carefully with fear, anxiety and shame. I enjoy working respectfully with body awareness, attention to the here-and-now, and I'm interested in exploring clients' histories, ways of being and our cultural differences. I am committed to my own personal and professional growth and enjoy bringing my learning into my work.

I trained in gestalt psychotherapy at Edinburgh Gestalt Institute (2005-2009) and have been working in private practice since 2010. I was an Assistant Supervisor on the diploma training programme at Edinburgh Gestalt Institute where I supported the development of trainee gestalt therapists. I have worked as a volunteer counsellor for University of Edinburgh Student Counselling Service and Couple Counselling Lothian. My background is in the arts, human resources and organisational development. I’m a member of GPTI (Gestalt Psychotherapy & Training Institute) and adhere to their Code of Ethics and Professional Practice. I’m fully insured, participate in regular clinical supervision and undertake ongoing advanced personal and professional development. 

I offer online or in-person appointments and my office is in Frederick Street.
