Connect with Ru Connolly
My name is Ru, and I am a psychotherapist registered with ACA. I work in Fitzroy North and Northcote, as well as online. I believe that the relationship between the therapist and client is crucial for transformation, as it brings present and past issues to light. I utilise different approaches to bring about change, and I tailor my approach according to the needs of each client.
In my practice, I draw on attachment and developmental perspectives, as well as systems and psychodynamic theories. My approach is guided by trauma-informed and somatic principles, as I believe that our bodies provide valuable insights into our inner experiences. Additionally, I have extensive experience in sex and consent education.
As a therapist I am warm and relational. I am experienced in work with people who are LGBTIQA+ identifying, and those who fall outside gender binaries. Some areas of focus are depression/anxiety, life transition, identity and sexuality, relational difficulties and ongoing difficulties due to trauma or stress.
