Ruth Atacocugu

I offer face-to-face counselling sessions in central York (UK), and both online and telephone sessions.

Face to Face - I work from premises on Fishergate, York (YO10 4AB). This is accessible on main bus routes and parking is available at the nearby St Georges Field Car Park.

Online - Sessions will be held using Zoom or Teams.

I am a fully qualified BACP Registered Counsellor offering face-to-face counselling sessions in central York (UK), and both online and telephone sessions to clients both nationally and internationally.

At times when we might be feeling mis-aligned or challenged seeking support from a Counsellor may be a familiar or an entirely new experience for you. As a trained professional I will be alongside you and work with you to provide a space which is safe and non-judgmental, which is based on respect and trust, and where we can explore your emotions together. This exploration can inform you to gain a clearer understanding of why you feel as you do, and in turn this insight can help to give you the self awareness and practical skills to navigate the disharmony that you are experiencing. 

I have lived a diverse life, living in various countries and experiencing a wide range of settings in both my personal life and my career. I feel this lived experience, along with my formal person-centred based training, enables me to work with clients in a wholly accepting, attentive and empathic manner enabling an effective therapeutic relationship.

After your initial contact I will contact you to arrange a time for us to have a free 20 minute telephone call where we can discuss and explore how we might work together.
