Therapy with Ruth

25/06/2025

We do a lot more than just nod along and have a chat! A good therapist will hear you, they will understand what is being said even if it isn’t actually said. We want to get to know you as clients, we want to give you a sense of hope, hope that YOU can find the tools within to make the changes you want. Talking therapy helps you gain awareness, maybe see things in a way you never did before. Done right, it can be really powerful 💛

Finding a therapist can be hard in today’s world. Looking through therapists directory’s, looking on social media to find the perfect therapist, sometimes asking for personal recommendations and then realising they don't suit you! In a world where everything is accessible online, from shopping to paying bills - everything is instant. Yet, the search for a therapist can feel overwhelming and stressful - something you don’t need at this time in your life....

How often do you really check in with yourself? Like sit and focus on how you’re feeling, what you may need? It’s hard isn’t it, difficult to find the moments to do so. But…. What if, you gently push yourself to take moments out of the day to deliberately check in! Treat it like checking your socials, but it’ll instead feel much better! 💛 🌼 💚

What counselling is and isn’t….. People may come into counselling with many different ideas as to how it works, the truth is, is that it essentially comes down to the relationship you build with your counsellor, the safer and more emotionally held you feel, the easier it is to open up and start the inner work 💛 🌼

Daily reminder…. We never really know what someone is carrying. Always a good idea to check in with each other 💛 🌼 ❤️

The way we word things can be powerful… Try swapping the ‘I am’ with ‘I feel’ When we say I am, we are essentially becoming the feeling, when we say I feel, we are owning how we feel but not allowing it to be the whole of us! We are not our feelings, our feelings are only part a part of us, not the whole of us 💛 🌼

Hello to all my followers, old and new!!

It’s been a while I know, life has been extremely busy, and my social media has taken a back seat.

For those who don’t know me, I’m a counsellor working with adults and young people, currently running my own online and face to face practice along side working in a secondary school. I am so passionate about the work I do, and love getting to know my clients and helping them get to a place they want to be.

I set up this page to share content around mental health, whether that’s tips on how we can look after ourselves better, or just thoughts around certain areas that interest me.

I hope you get what you need from my page, and I look forward to posting more often from now on ☺️

How many of you are there for others, the listening ear, the go to person?

Are you tending to your own needs and struggles, or do they tend to get left behind because others matter more?

Balance is key, you can be there for others, and be available to yourself, to express yourself and voice what you need.

Don’t leave yourself behind whilst being everything to others.

Words are powerful and can create pain, as well as resolve conflict.

We are always taught from a young age to use kind words, to think before we speak and to choose our words wisely. It’s so important to be kind.

Dumbledore shares many wonderful wise words throughout the Harry Potter series, I simply love them and find them very inspirational.

Counselling is about my clients finding their own solutions, not me telling them what I think.

Working together to explore, unpack and look at all the available options can be powerful, because often clients may come with a view they don’t have the answers, so when they find they do it’s such a lovely thing to be part of.
