Ruth Brown

Not taking on any new clients now until January 2024.

Are you are feeling isolated, anxious or depressed, maybe you are are struggling with communication or relationship issues or simply trying to cope? Maybe you are dealing with health issues or have experienced a recent loss or bereavement. 

I have professional and also significant personal experience of dealing with life altering and traumatic situations and events and living with chronic illness and stress. I work in a person centred and existential way, helping clients to navigate their way through overwhelm, emotional issues and challenging situations. 

I can also work with you to promote and support a range of self-care approaches.  I am a trained Breathworks Mindfulness Champion and use meditation, CBT approaches and tapping on acupuncuture points or Emotional Freedom Technique to promote good mental health and wellbeing.

I am a trained bereavement counsellor having worked for a local hospice; have worked in mental health facilitating support groups for adults experiencing depression and anxiety and have worked with clients across a broad spectrum of issues for a counselling agency.

I work with clients on a long and short-term basis and aim to be flexible in my approach to accommodate client’s personal and financial circumstances. Sessions can be weekly, every other week, and I also offer monthly check-ins as we move towards the end of our work together.

I would be very happy to talk through how we might work together (no charge for an initial 20 minute consult).

I work with clients face-to-face from my private practice in Horsell and also offer sessions via zoom or telephone.  Face-to-face-sessions take place in my conservatory overlooking the garden. The room has plenty of space for social distancing and is well ventilated with separate access from the rest of the house. 

If you are interested in working with me I offer a free 20 minute initial telephone consult.
