Hi, I’m Ruth Mykoo
I offer counselling and psychotherapy for individual adults available online, telephone or face to face.
A professional, therapeutic service providing one to one support to individuals offering both short term and long-term therapy. I work with adults from a variety of backgrounds and experiences across the UK and abroad.
“In our most difficult moments, we are given an opportunity to reset and determine who we are or want to be. You alone shape your life.“ - Megan Hine.
It could be that we start to doubt ourselves and feel that we are not good enough or we are unable to cope, leading to anxiety and depression.
I’m a warm, open, empathic, accredited counsellor and psychotherapist with a passion for helping clients feel valued, empowered and find inner peace.
I draw on different theoretical approaches which are tailored to support your individual needs; I work with adults from a variety of diverse backgrounds and experiences, offering both short term and long term therapy.
My counselling and psychotherapy enables individuals to work through issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief and loss, bereavement, self esteem and self acceptance issues, life transitions, relationships, and trauma.
About Counselling and Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy helps you talk through any concerns or worries with a trained mental health professional. The goal is to understand yourself better, so that you live a happier, fulfilling, authentic life. This might involve working through past experiences, managing current challenges, or developing new skills.
It’s a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours without fear of judgement.
Everyone's journey is unique, and therapy is tailored to your specific needs and goals. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with relationships, or experiencing anxiety or depression, psychotherapy will provide support and guidance to help you.
Therapy is a testament to strength. It's about investing in your mental health, just like you would your physical health. Therapy can provide invaluable tools, strategies, and support to help you navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and unlock your full potential.
It's an opportunity to gain clarity, reduce stress, and cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself. Seeking help is courageous, and the benefits can be truly transformative.
