Ruth Harrison
MBACP Counsellor Adults and Young People 16 +
I am a qualified Counsellor who has extensive experience of working with adults, who are struggling with anxiety and depression to build resilience. I offer adults support to build their confidence and also work on their own self esteem and mental health. I also work with parents experiencing difficulties in their parenting role and adults who or have experienced difficulties in their relationships. I offer this service in Farnham and would be happy to offer a free telephone conversation.
I have many years experience of working with Older People, Adults and Young People in various roles. I have experience of working with anxiety and depression and low self-esteem. I also work with people who have ADHD and Autism. I work with people who are experiencing work based stress and burnout.
I am a Counsellor who believes that people need space and time to talk about their problems both past and present, to help them build a better life today. By talking to someone this can improve communications and relationships with others and also break negative inter generational cycles of emotional pain. I work for a charity called Headroom where I offer parent Counselling and young person’s Counselling.
