About Ruth

Ruth Gus is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief or relationship and intimacy problems. Ruth also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, career stress and burnout-related concerns such as compassion fatigue.

She aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings. Conversations focus on what matters to the person sitting in front of her.

Background and approach

Ruth encourages small, practical steps that fit into everyday life. Her work often addresses family and relationship patterns, attachment and issues such as abandonment, codependency or communication problems. She also helps people facing major life changes, separation and blended family challenges, and those dealing with serious illness or caregiving strain.

Ruth uses a client-centred way of working, which means the person’s priorities guide the sessions. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change and to build momentum towards goals. Sessions are straightforward and conversational rather than highly technical.

Ruth offers support in English and Yoruba and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. International clients can work with her through online formats. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How Ruth's approaches work online and what to expect

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client's priorities. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps clients clarify their feelings and choices, which can be useful for anxiety, grief and relationship problems.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and to build momentum toward those goals. It is a conversational method that can support work on habits, commitment issues and coping with major life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Ruth treats it as a collaboration. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then decide together which ideas to try and how to adapt them to everyday life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact matters. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or for short check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written exchanges or need brief, frequent support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
