I got my driving license this morning! I can't thank you enough! I can't believe I have passed my test - the CD was wonderful .  I have no hesitation in recommending Ruth. C. Stanwell

I was very nervous before my first appointment with Ruth as I had never been to a therapist of any kind before, but Ruth immediately put me at ease with her warm, approachable manner. In all I had 3 sessions with Ruth regarding some relationship problems I was having. Seeing Ruth helped me no end, I quickly resolved the issues I had and credit her entirely with this.
 Ruth made me feel completely relaxed and really invested her time in me. It felt like I was speaking to an old friend. Ruth is outstanding at what she does and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone. H. Staines

It was so good to meet up with you today and I do feel that it was constructive. The nervous feeling has almost gone and I have eaten two meals today as well as my protein shakes. This is the first time I've been on my computer for a week or so  - so obviously there is a marked change. I also went and did something that I had put off for weeks which was also good. Positive things keep popping into my mind and - yes I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you SM. Kent

I was recommended to visit Ruth when I was contemplating leaving my wife and feeling an enormous amount of guilt. With her help I was able to quickly put those feelings into perspective and began to foresee the positive outcomes there would be for me and my family in a future with a different partner. I was also enabled to ‘plan’ what I needed to do as and when I thought the time was right.
Some 15 years earlier I had undergone counselling in a different part of the country in an attempt to deal with the feelings I had about being sexually abused as a child by a relative. Although that had helped enormously to reduce my own feelings of responsibility I still harboured negative feelings about my mother in particular, wondering why she had allowed this to happen, why she didn’t protect me. I shared this with Ruth who got me, again, to put those thoughts into perspective and begin to find the positive experiences I had as a child with my parents, and to consider those as more important memories of my relationship with them. My feelings quickly changed to the positive because I was able to see those as the true legacy. Ruth was able to transform my thinking and feelings in this context in two or three sessions using Emotional Freedom Technique and some hypnotherapy that allowed me to work in the present rather than spend lots of time searching my memory for past experiences.
I can completely recommend these techniques to anyone suffering from stress and anxiety, whatever the cause. I also completely recommend Ruth as a skilled professional practitioner who has my absolute trust and never ending thanks. J. Herts
