Ruth Dixon

Ruth Dixon is a counsellor who uses psychodynamic therapy to help people understand patterns that affect their emotions and relationships. She brings 20 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical change alongside deeper reflection. Ruth aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where clients can talk and be heard.

She works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar mood difficulties. Eating and food-related issues, addictions and problems with sleep are also within her focus. Ruth supports people dealing with grief, trauma, anger and relationship struggles.

Ruth pays attention to how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviour. In conversation she looks for recurring themes, such as attachment and family of origin patterns, that can keep problems repeating. She then helps people try different ways of relating and coping that feel more manageable.

Sessions also address communication problems, codependency and commitment issues. Ruth can help when life changes feel overwhelming, such as separation or bereavement, and she will work at a pace that suits each person. The aim is to build clearer understanding and more reliable choices for day-to-day life.

Ruth holds BACP as a listed credential, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She practices in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. To start, clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to therapist availability.

Psychodynamic insight and online working

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how earlier relationships and experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand recurring emotional patterns, such as attachment issues or responses to loss, and can be useful for anxiety, depression and eating-related difficulties.

Ruth uses talk-based work to bring those patterns into view and then helps people try different ways of responding. The process is collaborative - she will listen to your goals and preferences and together you will decide which aspects of the approach are most helpful for you.

Many people find online counselling easier to fit around work, family and day-to-day life because it removes travel time and allows appointments from familiar locations. Online sessions can also make shorter check-ins or weekly meetings simpler to arrange. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and can choose what fits your schedule and needs.
