About Me

Ruth Juster:

Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Life-coach
Registered Member MBACP, MBA, C Dip IOD, FCIPD, NLP Master, BSc.

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor, psychotherapist, and life coach working with adults.

I work with individuals, groups and couples from all walks of life, cultures and genders.

Whilst some counsellors will use just one form of therapy I hold a pluralistic client-centred approach. This means that clients benefit from a wide range of therapies and techniques that I integrate in a way that meets their unique needs.

Clients find the neuroscience psychoeducational insights I share (when appropriate) with them helpful.  These give them a better understanding of how and why their emotions and body responds to their environment, situations and/or thoughts in the way that it does.  They can use this new understanding to make better choices and control how they feel.

The therapies and techniques I use include Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Attachment Focused Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Existential Psychotherapy, Reality Therapy, Psychodynamic, Gestalt and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT).

My clients often tell me they appreciate my warm, empathetic, compassionate, and non-judgmental style.

During our time together my clients feel heard, understood, in control, validated and respected. They leave therapy, better, stronger, hopeful, and more empowered.
