About

Ruth Fitzgerald works with a range of difficulties including depression, anxiety, addictive behaviours, relationship problems and abuse, offering a space where people can explore issues at their own pace.

She helps clients examine the factors behind their feelings and the problems they face, with the aim of finding practical ways to manage difficulties and move toward a more satisfying life in which everyday challenges feel more manageable. Sessions are offered in a compassionate, non-judgemental and confidential environment.

Life can be confusing, distressing and at times overwhelming, producing anxiety, anger or a sense of being stuck. At such times, talking therapy can be a helpful option when feelings or events feel intolerable or hard to make sense of.

Ruth understands that meeting a therapist can feel daunting. Talking things through with a trained professional can support greater self-understanding and help people make clearer, more confident choices about their lives.

Within the sessions it is possible to identify repeating patterns of behaviour that contribute to ongoing difficulties. As these patterns and the feelings they raise are examined, perspective can shift. With increased clarity and understanding, clients gain more choices about how to respond and develop the confidence to manage life more effectively, making lasting changes possible.

Ruth’s role is to support clients in gaining insight into their past and how it influences their life today. In a non-judgemental setting, thoughts, ideas and feelings can be aired, allowing unconscious material to surface and be worked through.

The process of counselling or psychotherapy leads to a deeper understanding of feelings, thoughts and behaviour and of how people relate to others. Self-awareness and self-acceptance expand life choices, improving emotional well-being and day-to-day functioning. Ruth supports clients to understand themselves and to find the life-path and choices that work best for them.

She is a psychodynamically trained practitioner. Psychodynamic therapy aims to increase awareness of the inner world and its influence on relationships past and present, working toward deep-seated change in personality and emotional development.

Ruth Fitzgerald looks forward to working with clients.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can really make a difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One of the main benefits is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
