Rusne Fokiene

Rusne Fokiene is an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She holds a BSc (Bachelor of Science) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and combines clinical training with a compassionate, person-centred manner.

Prior to establishing her private practice, Rusne spent four years working in the voluntary sector, offering counselling to people from diverse backgrounds. During that time she supported clients dealing with substance misuse, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, emotional trauma, and grief, which informed her understanding of how early life adversity can shape adult behaviours, beliefs, emotions, and thought patterns.

Her approach is integrative, drawing together creative and experiential methods with elements of mindfulness and core process psychotherapy. With a genuine curiosity about each person’s story, Rusne encourages clients to slow down, notice their bodily sensations, and explore their inner world as part of the therapeutic process.

Working together, she helps clients navigate past experiences and present or future dilemmas, aiming to uncover insights and build lasting skills for personal growth and resilience. Sessions are tailored to each individual’s goals, with regular reviews so therapy continues to meet changing needs, whether for short-term guidance or longer-term support.

Rusne offers a warm, supportive space for people ready to begin a purposeful conversation about change and healing.
