Counselling Service
My name is Ruth and I am a fully qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I work just outside Bury St Edmunds, in the village of Thurston. I offer individual and couples therapy face to face, online and telephone support.
I am an Senior Accredited Member of 'The National Counselling Society.
People seek counselling for a variety of reasons. It is often because of the difficulties and challenges in our daily lives that sometimes become overwhelming and may impact upon our relationships, our work, and/or our personal and professional judgements.
Sometimes these things may feel beyond your individual control and at this point seeking some additional help can be very useful to aid you during these times. There is a great deal of truth in the cliche 'a problem shared is a problem halved' and through either integrated counselling or hypnotherapy you can make positive changes in your life.
The central aim of therapy is to provide you with an opportunity to work through difficulties in a safe and confidential environment without feeling judged. Such issues may involve areas of your life which you feel troubled by, either in your personal life or at work.
Counselling can help with may things including:
Depression, Anxiety and Stress
Loss of Confidence or Low Self Esteem
Bereavement and loss
Traumatic experiences
Emotional, Physical or Sexual Abuse
Work difficulties
Relationships problems
Separation and / or divorce recovery
Self Defeating behaviours and patterns
