Working in Private Practice at the Practice Rooms, Wesbury-on-Trym, Bristol

I began my training in 2004 at Cambridge, where I was awarded a Diploma in Counselling. I also have qualification in Group Therapy. I am an integrative counsellor which means that I use a number of methods to suit the needs of my work. My main disciplines are Psychodynamic Therapy, Individual (Adlerian) Therapy and some CBT techniques.I have experience working in NHS Primary care, within charities and also in private practice, I also run therapeutic groups.My work is suitable for solution-focused brief therapy as well as long-term counselling. As an integrative practitioner I also draw on other training such as Group Therapy, Bereavement Training and Addiction Training.

Our mission is to ease the detrimental mental health impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and, through qualified volunteer Psychotherapists and Counsellors, offer free online emotional support to all UK adults.The HelpHub was set up by psychotherapist Ruth Chaloner in April this year. Originally Ruth’s intention was to support people who were on a waiting list for NHS mental health support or couldn’t afford private therapy, but when the Covid-19 crisis started she rapidly adapted the service to provide free emotional support for people suffering during the pandemic.Available to anyone in the UK, the HelpHub is helping those suffering from anxiety, loneliness and isolation. For those who have been bereaved, perhaps without being able to say goodbye in person, it may be hard to start the grieving process, especially far from family and with funerals being delayed. The HelpHub enables people to speak to someone who knows how to listen to their fears. Through the website, people book a twenty-minute appointment to speak to one of over 800 therapists, all of whom are volunteering their time and expertise to ensure the HelpHub can provide a free service.The HelpHub has a capacity to provide 2,500 free, online emotional support sessions each week, across the UK. We can help...Coronavirus has hit us all differently. Whatever your worries and concerns, they’re valid. You’re valid.
