My experience with Ruth was personally unbelievable. The process is relatively easy, however, its how Ruth talks you through it. So calming. I was shocked how such small talk gave such an amazing feeling of freedom from all the anxiety that I had felt over many years! As a child growing up in the British army my life always felt on edge...Northern Ireland  especially brought everything to the forefront and it never left me...until I met Ruth. She is amazing! Thank you Ruth

I came to Ruth thinking I simply needed help being a bit firmer in my ability to say no. However, in the very first session I was completely blown away by a realisation that came crashing down. I discovered that my issue was never really about saying no at all — that was just masking much deeper things I’d buried for decades. It felt as if Ruth helped me unknot a huge ball of confusion inside myself, and suddenly everything started to make sense. It’s hard to explain because it feels both incredibly simple and almost magical — what I needed was already there, it just needed to be brought into my line of vision. Ruth and her techniques did exactly that. In the sessions that followed, Ruth made sure I knew how to hold onto this newfound strength and understanding. She is totally committed to helping you, not just during the sessions, but by giving you the tools to keep helping yourself long after they end.
