Ruth

Mrs Ruth Slaney

Registered Psychotherapist

26 years experience working in primary, secondary and private practice with mental health difficulties I am passionate about helping people.

About Me

With over two decades dedicated to mental health, I am passionate about supporting you. My 26 years of experience across primary, secondary, and private practice means I understand diverse challenges. I offer a compassionate space to explore your concerns. We can work together to navigate complex feelings, perhaps integrating focused techniques like EMDR. Clients find my broad background provides a grounded, adaptable pathway to feeling better and moving forward.

Approach

Passion for helping people shapes how I work, aiming for a steady, practical pace that respects your experience and readiness. I offer face-to-face appointments in Ashford and remote sessions in English, creating a confidential, predictable space whether we're in the room or online. Therapy blends targeted, evidence-informed techniques with mindful, body-aware attention — we set clear goals, practise skills within sessions and use manageable between-session steps to build resilience. This approach suits adults seeking clarity and practical tools to manage anxiety, trauma and low mood.
