Eva Ruschkowski

I am an Adult Psychodynamic Psychotherapist registered with the Â鶹ԭ´´, working in the NHS and in private practice.

I offer a warm and non-judgemental space where you can speak freely about what is causing you pain and where you are listened to carefully with no preconceptions.

You might be seeking therapy because you do not enjoy or live your life the way that you would like to. There might be certain thoughts, behaviours or feelings that weigh down on you and that you do not understand. Maybe you struggle connecting to the people around you or doing the things that bring you joy without knowing why. Or there might have been unexpected changes or losses in your life that have left you grieving or that are difficult to adjust to.

Together we will explore these thoughts, feelings and difficult events and what place they take in your personal history. The open, in-depth approach of psychodynamic psychotherapy allows for the (re)discovery of parts of yourself that are usually less accessible – maybe because they have been forgotten, did not seem important or because they are difficult to think about.

Bringing these parts back to attention in a safe environment can shift how you understand your difficulties and feelings. It also allows for new perspectives, solutions and changes that are not imposed but creatively invented and uniquely yours.

Once you get in touch with me, I will offer an initial phone call free of charge as an opportunity to discuss any questions that you might have and to talk about some practicalities.

Following this, I advise an initial consultation period of 2-6 preliminary sessions. This allows you to get a better sense of whether psychotherapy is what you are looking for and if you think I am a good fit for you. It also gives me an opportunity to gain a better understanding of your problems and to see whether I can offer the right help.

If you do not want to continue or if I am unable to offer you sessions, we can discuss alternative options or possible referrals.

Otherwise, we keep our weekly appointments.

Sessions last between 35 and 50 minutes. Fees for missed sessions are due in full unless cancelled with at least 72 hours’ notice.
