Ruth Cuthbe-Clark

I am currently accepting new client referrals.  

My working hours are 9am - 3pm Monday to Thursday.

I also offer appointments on a Thursday evening & Saturday mornings.

If you require an appointment outside of these times, please make contact and I will see if I can accommodate you.

Hi, my name is Ruth, and I am a degree-qualified compassionate multicultural, person-centred counsellor who prioritises professional competence and is deeply committed to supporting individuals and families through their unique challenges. People come to me for help with a wide range of presenting issues.

I place great value on empathy, authenticity and unconditional positive regard. These values allow me to support you in gaining clarity, building resilience and discovering new perspectives. My role is to create a supportive environment, where your voice is heard, empowering you to grow, heal and create meaningful change.

I believe in the power of creating a safe, empathetic, confidential and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their emotions and work towards healing and growth.

I work with people from all walks of life and backgrounds, who come to me with a diverse range of issues.   I have a special interest in men’s mental health, families with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), and trauma.

I offer face-to-face sessions in Maldon, within easy reach of Chelmsford, Colchester, London, Southend and Braintree. Alternative setting sessions are available throughout Essex.

I also offer online sessions via Zoom or Teams to people throughout the UK, to fit the demands of todays fast paced lifestyle.

I offer face to face and online sessions, lasting 50 minutes. An initial informal telephone chat is available free of charge.

With a holistic view of well-being, I take a client led flexible and adaptive approach to therapy, often offering alternative settings such as walk & talk sessions and engaging activities to foster connection and healing outside the traditional therapy room. Alternative setting sessions are subject to a £10 per session supplement.

A limited number of low cost sessions are available to those on a low income (proof required) are available at the reduced rate of £20 per session.

Our first appointment allows us to meet and acts to help you decide whether you would like to work together.  We will carry out an informal initial assessment in which I can explain how I work and about the therapeutic process.  It is an opportunity for you to share your expectations of Counselling and what you would like to achieve from therapy.
