Ruth has helped me in so many ways. I have really struggled with health anxiety and panic attacks and she has say and listened to every concern I’ve had and spoke with me how to over come it. I’m finally feeling back to me and Ruth was a massive part in that :)

More about Ruth
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am credentialed in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience. I became a listening volunteer for Samaritans in September 2021 and I still volunteer presently for them. From July 2022 until late 2024, I worked voluntarily for The Haven (a charity which supports women and children emotionally and practically who are victims of Domestic Abuse). I also worked at St. Martin’s Centre for Health and Healing in Birmingham during this time. I am now a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy since graduating with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, majoring in Person-Centred Therapy. I have experience in helping clients with loss & bereavement, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process using an integrative approach, employing the use of different modalities where necessary for your successful healing journey.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.
