My name is Ruth and I am a qualified Integrative Therapist, specialising in Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy.My main focus is on tailoring a collaborative way of working that gives you space to explore your self-growth. I can help you if you are feeling anxious, depressed, angry or dealing with feelings of low self-confidence. My work is exploratory, so we would collaborate in finding the roots of your discomfort and together, we can build new ways of thinking.
Imagine feeling truly understood as you navigate challenges like anxiety, stress, personal obstacles, or barriers to exercise. In my practice, I focus on your unique situation, tailoring my approach to best support your journey towards a fulfilling life. Picture yourself learning to replace irrational thoughts with rational ones, mastering stress, and overcoming physical barriers that once seemed insurmountable.
We can work together to tailor a path that aligns with your personal goals, empowering you to lead a healthier, more balanced life. This is about more than just feeling better - it's about becoming the best version of you.
My practice focuses on various complementary methods which allows us to tailor the approach based on your preferences. From schema therapy and inner child work to Compassion Focused Therapy and CBT, we can adapt to support you. Our partnership ensures you receive personalised support on your journey to well-being. Each session is a step towards the growth you seek.
You deserve a holistic approach that balances your mind and body. With my expertise in REBT and a background in personal training and mind/body healing, I am committed to guiding you through the integration of mental and physical wellness.
We can tackle the barriers together as soon as you're ready to start.

Specialisations
I have worked with clients who have experienced:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Stress
- Mild obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Chronic pain
- Relationship problems
- Bereavement
My work with indivudals has included Brief Therapy (8-12 sessions) and more long-term work.
Most common issues I support people with:
AnxietyI understand how delibilitating chronic anxiety can feel and my work is based around helping my client deal with anxiety in the moment while also looking into the root causes of their anxiety. REBT looks into an individual's beliefs about the world or themselves and unpicking these beliefs can be very helpful in managing anxiety.
Stress
Feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life? Our confidential space allows you to explore the sources of your stress, whether it's work, relationships, or personal challenges. I'm here to help you identify unhealthy coping mechanisms and develop practical strategies to cope. I'll help you to improve communication skills, and set boundaries. We can explore techniques to manage anxiety and build resilience to navigate life's stressors and find peace of mind.
Pain
REBT directly addresses the cognitive underpinnings of chronic pain. By challenging irrational beliefs that exacerbate emotional distress, REBT empowers clients to develop more adaptive thought patterns that promote effective pain management and improve overall well-being.
Barriers to Exercise
REBT tackles the psychological roadblocks that keep people from exercising. It helps identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs like "I'm not coordinated enough" or "Exercise is too painful." By replacing these with more rational thoughts ("I can improve!") and addressing exercise anxiety, REBT empowers individuals to adopt a more positive and realistic view of exercise, ultimately increasing motivation and adherence to a routine.
Menopause
Menopause, while a natural transition marking the end of a woman's reproductive years, it can bring a wave of physical and emotional changes. Therapy can be a powerful resource during this time. In a safe and supportive space, you can explore various concerns, from managing hot flushes and sleep disturbances to navigating the emotional rollercoaster of anxiety, low mood, or even a sense of loss.
