About Ruth
Ruth Belfield helps people through relationship strain, low self-esteem, career crossroads, anxiety, stress and grief. She also supports those dealing with sleep and eating difficulties, parenting pressures, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD and issues linked to first responder roles. Her style is warm and respectful and she aims to make the first step feel manageable.
Ruth keeps sessions focused and practical. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation. That might mean setting small goals, practising coping skills, or talking through difficult feelings until they feel clearer.
Background and approach
She has four years of professional experience and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Ruth emphasises sensitivity and compassion in her work and aims to create a calm space for honest discussion. People meet Ruth to get support when life becomes overwhelming or to find a way forward after loss or change.
She combines listening with structured steps so clients leave with tools they can use between sessions. Ruth works with people who want both practical help and emotional understanding. She encourages clients to set achievable aims and reviews progress as therapy continues.
Her approach is collaborative so the plan adjusts as needs shift.

Online support
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Ruth will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then try a method that fits. If something does not feel helpful, she adjusts the plan so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people have a fuller conversation similar to an in-person meeting. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit those who prefer to write, want brief daily support, or need to fit counselling around work and family commitments.
