About Ruth

Ruth Gus is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, career and life transitions, and compassion fatigue. She also works with specific issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, avoidant personality patterns, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, separation and divorce, domestic violence, feelings of emptiness, and family of origin concerns.

Ruth offers a collaborative, client-focused approach and aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Her practice emphasizes supporting and empowering clients to take steps toward a more fulfilling life, recognizing that deciding to seek help requires courage. Ruth speaks English and Yoruba and accepts international clients. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - which indicates adherence to professional standards for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Clients can expect compassionate support as they work through practical and emotional challenges, with an emphasis on identifying goals and building the skills needed to manage change and improve well-being.

Client-Centered and Motivational Approaches for Online Therapy

Ruth uses client-centered therapy, a person-focused approach that prioritizes the client’s perspective and pace. In practice this means listening closely, reflecting feelings and experiences, and helping people explore what matters most to them - an approach that can be especially helpful for issues like relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

She also draws on motivational interviewing, a collaborative method designed to increase motivation and resolve ambivalence when someone is considering change. This approach is useful for clients working through commitment issues, career transitions, coping strategies, or patterns like codependency where motivation and clear goals support progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ruth works collaboratively with each client to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as the work evolves.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to therapy. These options allow clients to schedule support around work, family, and geographical constraints, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapeutic work into everyday life.
