Ruth Gus

Ruth Gus is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who has worked in the field for 15 years. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger and grief, and supports those facing relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba, and she accepts international clients.

Ruth focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. She works alongside clients rather than directing them, helping them find practical ways to cope and make changes that suit their lives.

Her methods draw on client-centred therapy, which prioritises the person’s own goals and pace, and motivational interviewing to help clarify what matters most. In practice this means listening carefully, reflecting back what she hears, and helping clients set small, achievable steps forward.

Ruth has experience supporting people through trauma, family problems, sleep difficulties, career shifts and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and communication problems. Her approach is straightforward and down to earth, focused on what will help someone feel steadier day to day.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to her availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, so people can adapt their commitment as their needs change.

How Ruth’s approach works online

Client-centred therapy places the person’s concerns and goals at the heart of the work. It involves careful listening, reflecting back what the client says, and supporting them to make choices that feel right. This approach suits people wanting to explore feelings like anger, grief or anxiety at their own pace.

Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses focused questions and gentle feedback to help people identify what matters to them and take small, workable steps towards those aims. This method can be useful for coping with stress, lifestyle shifts or career decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and adapt the way she works so it fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example scheduling around work, avoiding travel time, or choosing shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find this flexibility helps maintain consistency while they work on managing anger, improving relationships or handling life changes.
