Hampshire Headspace Counselling

About me

Ruth, the counsellor at Hampshire Headspace

I’m Ruth, and connection, compassion and care are important to me, so I base my practice on these principles.

I am a fully qualified humanistic counsellor, registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and committed to offering a confidential and ethical service.

I offer individual counselling sessions for people aged 16 and over. I welcome neurotypical and neurodiverse clients, as well as individuals from all cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

I have experience working with both adolescents and adults in private counselling, charity organisations and education settings, with a particular interest in supporting individuals affected by addiction.

My approach to counselling is informed by Transactional Analysis, which is based on the belief that everyone has worth, the capacity to think for themselves, and the potential for growth and positive change when supported in an encouraging, accepting, and respectful environment.

Alongside my professional training, life experience has deeply informed my sense of compassion and understanding of the challenges people can face.

I engage in regular supervision and training to support my knowledge and professional development. I am fully insured and hold an enhanced DBS certificate.

I operate from comfortable rooms in both Eastleigh and Winchester or can work online. Contact me to find out more and to arrange a suitable appointment.
