Ruth works in what is called a Person-Centred way which means that the most important thing to her is you, what matters to you and what works for you.  She has training in many different areas such as such as Bereavement, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques, or tapping as it is commonly known), hypnotherapy and CFT (Compassion Focused Therapy), to tailor the sessions to best suit your needs.

Ruth is a former nurse and Midwife who worked extensively with bereavement and end of life before moving into work as a manager of a Women’s centre whilst training as a Therapeutic Counsellor. She has also been a volunteer for Cruse Bereavement and Trust House Lancashire.  Once qualified Ruth set up Amethyst Counselling and Life Coaching with the belief that what works for one doesn't always work for another so it is important place you at the centre of the work, supporting you to find ways that work for you and your life.

Ruth now runs her business while also working for a company that offers bereavement support, particularly to those bereaved by suicide.  Outside of Amethyst Counselling Ruth enjoys going to the gym, being outside, reading and crocheting.
