About Ruth

Ruth Gus is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She focuses on making therapy approachable for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, grief, or life changes. Ruth offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about painful memories, intimacy concerns, or issues at work and home.

Ruth uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person rather than labels at the centre of each session.

Background and approach

She listens closely and follows the priorities you bring, helping you to name what matters and decide what to try next. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit when people want practical help to change habits or move through stuck places. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual.

Some people want to explore difficult memories slowly, while others prefer clear steps and short-term goals. Ruth adapts to these needs and checks in regularly about how the work is progressing. She has particular experience supporting people coping with family problems, abandonment and attachment worries, codependency, and relationship breakdowns.

She also helps those facing caregiving stress, cancer-related strain, or burnout and compassion fatigue. Ruth speaks English and Yoruba and works with people from different backgrounds. She works online, offering formats that include video and phone calls, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations.

How Ruth's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding your perspective and building a trusting working relationship. The therapist listens without judgment and reflects back what she hears, which helps you find your own solutions for relationship strain, anxiety, or grief.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking about change. It helps if you want to shift patterns like avoidance, low motivation, or unhelpful coping. The method breaks change into manageable steps and builds confidence to try new behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ruth will talk with you about your goals and preferences and will suggest whether a gentler, exploratory style or a more goal-focused method fits best. You and the therapist decide together and review progress as you go.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break in a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the therapeutic focus central.
