Ruth Israel
Child and Adolescent Therapist

Ruth has been working as an Integrative Psycotherapist since 2009. She has experience in running groups, working individually with children, young people and adults.

Ruth realizes that each child and young person has a unique way of seeing things and she tries to work from their perspective. She combines different approaches to meet the needs of the young person in the therapy. She is passionate about working to help children, young people, adults and families to feel better about themselves and themselves in relation to others and the outside world. This is done in the context of an empathic therapeutic relationship in a safe, caring and confidential space. Part of the work can be using image, metaphor, play, the arts and the body. This helps to gain self-awareness and healing with children and young people with various issues.

 

Ruth has experience working with children and young people with various issues affecting their well-being such as trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety, phobias, panic attacks, anger issues, obsessive compulsive behaviour, low self-esteem, loss and bereavement, self-harm, ASD and ADHD. 

She is UKCP registered and a member of BACP. She is a clinical Supervisor, supervising therapists working with children, adolescents and adults and she is a DDP Informed practitioner.
