About Rusne

Rusne Fokiene helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and big life changes. She is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and writes in plain, compassionate language. Her approach aims to make therapy understandable and practical for busy lives.

Rusne blends talking therapy with body-focused and experiential activities. She encourages clients to notice physical sensations and simple mindfulness exercises.

Background and approach

Sessions are tailored to the person's goals and reviewed regularly to make sure therapy stays useful. Before moving into independent practice, Rusne spent four years in the voluntary sector providing counselling to people from varied backgrounds. There she supported people dealing with substance misuse, depression, anxiety, emotional trauma and bereavement, which influenced how she understands long-term patterns rooted in early experience.

Her work often addresses attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, shame and guilt, and struggles around body image and self-love. She also supports people facing chronic pain, illness or disability, and those rethinking life purpose or navigating midlife changes. Sessions aim to be practical and reflective.

Clients can expect a calm, curious atmosphere where past events and present choices are looked at together. The emphasis is on building everyday skills that help with resilience and clearer decision making.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Rusne lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Rusne uses practical, evidence-based techniques that invite both thought and bodily awareness. She draws on mindfulness practices to help people slow down, notice sensations and reduce reactivity; this can ease anxiety and improve emotional regulation. She also uses core process psychotherapy elements which focus on exploring inner experience and feelings in the moment to uncover patterns linked to early life and relationships.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs. Regular reviews help adjust the approach so sessions remain relevant and helpful as issues change.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit counselling into daily life. Video lets people see facial expression and tone, phone can be better when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing helps people reflect. These options improve flexibility and make it simpler to continue therapy across busy schedules.
