Ruth Moody - MCOSCA. Diploma Person Centred, Couple work, Supervision
About me
I offer clients a confidential secure space in which to confront, change or channel feelings of confusion, anxiety, grief, rage or depression. I encourage clients to find their own answers within themselves.

At this time of change to our daily lives we are confronted by issues and feelings that can be difficult to manage or understand. If you can find a private space within your home I am happy to make an appointment for you either by Skype or on the phone.
Training, qualifications & experience
I initially trained with Scottish Council of Alcohol in 1993 going on to gain my certificate in 1995 with Stathclyde University. I obtained my Diploma in 2003 through Argyll College - Interface Edinburgh. 2015 saw me gain a COSCA accredited qualification in Supervision. Relationship Certificate 2016
I have been a practicing counsellor for 20 years gaining experience with the Scottish Council of Alcohol, Lorn Counselling Service and latterly with North Argyll Carers Centre.
I was Manager of the Carers Centre for 14 years gaining experience in assisting people with loss of so many things such as freedom, health, finance, the list is endless. I am therefore experienced working with the many difficulties and challenges surrounding loss or transition.
I have my own private practice which I run from my home.
My special interest is in bereavement counselling in its broadest definition. In fact I would say I have a special interest in people.
