About Ruth
Ruth Gus is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. Ruth aims to make it easier to talk about hard things without fear of being judged.
She creates an open atmosphere where clients can share thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Her approach focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to each person. Ruth encourages practical steps people can try between sessions to notice small changes.
Ruth uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the client’s experience central and to build trusting conversations. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want and find motivation for change. These methods are used flexibly to match the concern, whether that is grief, sleep problems, anger, or low self-esteem.
She has worked with a wide range of issues over the years, including family problems, caregiving stress, codependency, divorce and separation, and cancer-related concerns. Ruth also supports people facing career changes, compassion fatigue, and challenges around attachment and abandonment.
Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba. Ruth is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and works with people located in the UK and internationally.
How Ruth’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience at the heart of every session. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what matters to you, helping you notice feelings and thoughts that may be hard to see. This approach is often used for anxiety, grief, relationship strains and low self-esteem.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps you clarify goals and boost the motivation needed to take small steps. It can be useful for coping with life changes, making behavioural shifts, or deciding on next steps in difficult situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively with you to decide which methods suit your needs, goals and preferences. That discussion can happen in early sessions and be adjusted as you progress.
Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can support the same collaborative, client-centred conversations as in-person work and let people access therapy from different locations.
