Marissa Ruddy

My preference for communication is via text or email & I will endeavour to respond within 24 hours. My office hours are Monday - Thursday (10 - 6pm)

I am a qualified Psychotherapist and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I offer a safe, confidential and supportive space for clients to explore their issues in order to assist them to decide on a positive way forward and to work through their problems at their own pace.

As an Integrative therapist I use a range of therapeutic approaches and techniques depending upon the needs and wishes of the client. I have experience of working with children, young people and adults, who come to therapy for many reasons. I am a relational counsellor with a strong belief in the process of therapy within a supportive therapeutic relationship. My core model is Transactional Analysis.

My professional experience has included working with adult and child clients within national/local charitable and training organisations, primary and secondary school settings and private practice. I am a certified online and telephone counsellor.

If you would like to seek help our first contact would be a free 15 minute phone call because I understand that choosing to pursue counselling can be a big decision. If we feel happy to progress, we'll organise an initial consultation to help build a picture of what you're seeking and how I can help. Following our initial meeting, a range of assessment and treatment options are available and we would decide together how best to proceed.
