About me
My name is Ruby and I am an Integrative Counsellor who works with Adults and Children from age 11+. I have experience working with a range of presentations, including anxiety, low self-esteem, burnout and Neurodivergence. and I have a special interest in working with adults and young people who have trouble saying no, holding boundaries for themselves and difficulty meeting their needs. People who are hiding their authentic-self through fear of judgement and confusion.
I help my clients to increase their self-awareness and get to know themselves on a deeper level - learning new perspectives and unlearning harmful ways of thinking. I help you explore your inner world so that you can make decisions in alignment with your values and see change in your behaviour if that is what you are hoping for.
It takes a lot to ask for help, especially in a world that can still stigmatise mental health, leaving you feeling as though something is wrong with you. I try to make that step as easy as possible for you with a warm welcome, laughter (yes we will laugh in sessions), psychoeducation and a relaxing nature-themed environment. Bring your own drinks and snacks if you like and wear something comfortable. The space is not something to be scared of. Bring a blanket or fidget toy if you need it (although I have both here for you).

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
