Ruth Mykoo

I am taking on new clients and offer sessions on either telephone, face to face and on Teams. Evening appointments available. 

Sometimes life throws us challenges both through past and present experiences and we become engulfed in uncertainty, worry and fear. It could be that we start to doubt ourselves and feel that we are not good enough or we are unable to cope, leading to anxiety and depression. Whatever you are going through, you’ve taken first step towards healing. 

I am a fully qualified and Integrative and Trauma informed Psychotherapist (MÂ鶹ԭ´´ Accred).  I use a range of therapeutic modalities and approaches including Person Centred,  Compassion Focused Therapy, Polyvagal theory, Somatic Therapy and Sensorimotor skills.  

I am also a fully trained EMDR therapist having completed EMDR Standard Protocol training and a member of EMDR UK Association.  EMDR processes traumatic memories which are essentially stuck and "frozen in time" that cause ongoing, present day emotional disturbance.  I am also trained in The Flash Technique which helps to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories. 

You will receive a skilled, warm, honest, non judgmental, compassionate, professional, human connection in therapy.  I offer a safe, therapeutic space where you will be respected and understood. 

Having provided Trauma informed therapy to Rape Crisis services since 2019, I have experience in providing therapy to adult survivors of rape and sexual abuse. As a result, I have an extensive working knowledge and training of complex presentations such as PTSD and dissociation.  

We will make sense of the way forward, working at your pace and sensitively to your needs.  

I also offer both long term and short term psychotherapy to clients  with a variety of presentations such as anxiety, grief, loss, bereavement, depression,  work place stress, abuse and childhood trauma. 

I offer an initial, free, 20 minute telephone consultation to find out a little bit of what's been going on for you, your goals and how we will work together.
