Ruth Dixon

My current availability is Tuesdays or Wednesdays

I am a counsellor offering support for a range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including trauma, anxiety, low mood, and attachment-related challenges, in Barton-upon-Humber, near Hull, Scunthorpe and Grimsby, as well as online across the UK.

I work with adults (18+) and offer a warm, confidential space where you can explore what’s going on for you at your own pace.

My approach is trauma-informed and attachment-focused, which means I pay attention to how past experiences — especially early relationships — can shape how you feel about yourself, how you cope, and how you relate to others. I have a particular interest in how early attachment experiences impact adult relationships.

Being trauma-informed also means I aim to work in a way that feels safe and respectful of your individual experience. Rather than focusing on labels or diagnoses, I am more interested in understanding you as a person — your story, your relationships, and what has brought you to therapy.

This might include working with anxiety, low mood, emotional overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, eating difficulties, low self-worth, or repeated patterns in relationships that feel hard to change.

Together, we can begin to make sense of these patterns, helping you feel more grounded, more in control, and better able to move forward.

My way of working is integrative and person-centred, which means I adapt therapy to suit you as an individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Above all, I aim to offer a safe, supportive relationship where you feel heard, understood, and not judged.

I have experience working in a range of settings including the NHS, MIND, local authority children’s and family services, including fostering and adoption, and within post-16 education, supporting people with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to do it alone. You are welcome to get in touch to see if we might be a good fit.

I work from my garden room at my home in the centre of Barton-Upon-Humber. As a counsellor, I aim to offer a friendly face, a confidential, warm, caring, safe space where you can just be you knowing you will not be judged.

I often work with people who are:

• Living with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or constant overthinking

• Affected by past trauma or difficult childhood experiences

• Neurodivergent and/or experience differences in how they process information

• Feeling stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns

• Experiencing low mood or a sense of disconnection

• Struggling with low self-esteem or a harsh inner critic

• Finding it hard to trust others or feel emotionally safe

• Experiencing grief, bereavement, or significant loss

• Navigating women’s issues, including menopause

• Processing experiences of abuse or difficult relationships

• Struggling with eating or their relationship with food

I am a counsellor based in North Lincolnshire working in private practice with adults and young people. I work from my garden room at my home in the centre of Barton-Upon-Humber. As a counsellor, I aim to offer a friendly face, a confidential, warm, caring, safe space where you can just be you knowing you will not be judged.

My practice is rooted in the Person-Centred approach which means that I believe that the quality of the relationship between myself and my client is the key factor in helping you make better sense of your feelings and experiences and in helping you develop the internal resources to live the life that you wish to lead. My approach is relational and flexible but I may draw on a range of models and approaches from my training and experience which may help in understanding your emotional history, relationships, the issues you are experiencing and the ways in which they are impacting on your life.

I have several years experience working with adults providing counselling through the mental health charity MIND, as well as the NHS. I have also worked for Children’s Services in Fostering and Adoption, supporting young people leaving care and family support. I have completed further training in Life Story Work, and Attachment-based Practice. I like to draw on these skills and integrate narrative approaches into my practice. This helps a person engage more fully with their ability to reframe their experience and “re-write” their life story. I am passionate about trauma-informed practice and exploring ways for a person to make meaning of their experiences without labelling.

If you are struggling to cope with difficult emotions, stressful life events or relationships, or would benefit from some space to explore your issues and gain more understanding and insight into the cause of your distress - please get in touch to discuss how I can help.
