About Ruth
Ruth Dixon draws on two decades of practice to help people untangle emotional patterns and daily struggles. She uses a psychodynamic approach to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. Ruth aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can talk openly about what matters to them.
Ruth works with stress and anxiety and offers support for depression and bipolar mood difficulties. She helps people facing addictions and eating or sleep problems, and those coping with grief or major life changes.
Background and approach
Relationship concerns, anger and communication problems are also within her focus. Her work also pays attention to early attachments and family of origin issues. She supports people dealing with abandonment, codependency and avoidant personality patterns.
Ruth has experience with blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and with the effects of trauma and domestic violence. Practical needs are part of the conversation too. She talks through coping strategies for daily life and helps people build confidence and emotional awareness.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s specific situation and goals. Ruth is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with twenty years’ experience. She offers sessions in English by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and matches her approach to what each person finds most helpful.

Approaches Ruth lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Ruth uses this approach to help people make sense of deep-rooted issues like attachment problems, abandonment feelings and family of origin wounds. The work often involves talking about past and present experiences to spot recurring themes and find different ways of responding.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Ruth will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on their goals, history and preferences. That collaborative discussion can shape how sessions are structured and which issues to prioritise.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel closer to face to face, phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or moments when writing feels better. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and daily life.
