"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you" - Maya Angelou, I know why the caged bird sings.

Counselling can help you tell your untold story, and your Counsellor can support you to live your life the way you want to.

Hi I'm Ruth, a Person centred Counsellor with over 10 years’ experience working with adults and young people. I offer an empathic, non-judgemental, safe place to explore with you, the things you feel are keeping you from having the life you want.

I sincerely believe in the potential of each and every one of us and through a compassionate approach we can explore your experiences and how these have shaped you. Many of our experiences can feel difficult to understand and we can work through that together to gain self-awareness and help gain the skills needed to heal. I will strive to be honest, kind and when appropriate, gently challenging to support you in your journey.

My personal approach is to work with you at your pace. I like to offer ways we can work together that I feel could be helpful, but it is always your decision if you want to proceed or not. I believe you are the expert of you and will know what approaches are for you and what are not. I believe in honest and genuine communication in a supportive nurturing environment.

I am a member of the British Psychological Society and The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and abide by the BACP Ethical Framework, GDPR data protection Guidelines and hold an Advanced DBS certificate for working with young people and vulnerable adults.

I am fully insured and undertake continuous professional development. I have regular supervision for client work.

I work with individuals with all kinds of experiences. For some it will be their first experience of counselling others may have had previous counselling.

I have a wealth of experience working with young people/ adolescents and I welcome working with individuals from all sexual orientations and gender identities.

I work in short term, long term and time limited ways.

My particular areas of interest include: working with relational attachments, grief and loss, Identity issues and emotional dysregulation.

I offer online counselling In Nottingham.

So, what can you expect in the first session? A safe place to begin your journey. I approach the first session as a "getting to know each other" session.

We undertake assessment, where I try to gain an overview of your life and your difficulties but there will be plenty of time for you to talk.

We also talk about what you would like to gain from counselling and what changes you would like to see as a result of going through the counselling process.

At the end of the session I will check out with you how you are feeling about moving forward with the therapy.

I currently have availability for face to face sessions on Thursdays and Fridays in Stithians.

Online and telephone counselling I currently have availability on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings and Thursdays and Fridays all day.

Please get in touch so we can discuss what times suit you best.
