Who I Am
My name is Ruth Sheeran I hold a BA (HONS) in counselling and psychotherapy. I am a fully accredited member of the APCP. I am committed to upholding the highest professional and ethical standards in my practice.
I have a background in complementary therapies, and it was through this work that I first began engaging with people on a deeper professional level. I saw how important it is for people to have time and space away from the demands of daily life to pause, reflect, and make sense of their personal experiences. The pressures of life can place significant strain on mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. Hearing clients share these challenges inspired me to broaden my expertise and pursue a career in psychotherapy.
I have a strong personal and professional commitment to supporting the growth, development, and overall wellbeing of myself and others. I remain deeply grateful to the clients I have worked with as both a complementary therapist and psychotherapist, as they have helped shape and strengthen my naturally empathetic and compassionate approach. I work collaboratively and with ease alongside a diverse range of clients and professionals across both community and private settings, helping to ensure cohesive and effective support for each client.
I am particularly passionate about supporting and empowering people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In recent years, I have dedicated part of my private practice to providing low-cost counselling for individuals with MS. I have also contributed to the delivery of the webinar series “MS: The Unspeakable Bits” on a couple of occasions and have been invited to speak at events organised by the MS Society. In addition, I regularly provide charitable counselling and psychotherapy through a number of low-cost services seperate of my own practice.
Outside of my professional work, my commitment to health and wellbeing continues. I have two dogs that keep me active and connected to nature, both of which I greatly enjoy. I have a strong interest in meditation and mindfulness and regularly attend events to deepen my knowledge in these areas. I also value complementary therapies as part of my own self-care, creating time and space to support my wellbeing. I enjoy reading, crafting, and personal writing, and I find poetry writing especially therapeutic.
