Mrs Ruth McQueen

Counselor

“A Psychotherapist who believes Psychological therapy works for anxiety, loss, depression, panic, stress, emotional well-being. I use a range of strategies and interventions as everyone responds differently to therapy.”

About Me

Psychological therapy offers a valuable space to navigate challenges like anxiety, loss, or stress. This psychotherapist employs a range of strategies, believing everyone responds differently. They tailor a holistic approach, ensuring sessions are centred around your unique needs. This personalised support helps clients build emotional well-being and find effective ways forward.

Approach

Sessions focus on practical, paced work that honours your story while targeting the thoughts, habits and triggers that keep problems active. In Greater London and Surrey I offer English-language appointments both face-to-face and online, with space between meetings for short coaching notes or exercises you can try. We move at your tempo: short experiments, reflective moments and gentle guided techniques help with symptoms like panic, low mood, grief or burnout. People who want clear steps and a compassionate, collaborative way forward often find this helpful.
