I’m Ru, an Integrative Psychotherapist. Psychotherapy supports both the processing of distressing experiences and the development of self-actualisation and insight.
My approach is grounded in attachment and developmental perspectives, as well as systems and psychodynamic theories. I am guided by trauma-informed principles and use somatic practices. I work extensively with personality disorders and CPTSD.
I work to build trust with you, as a good working relationship has been evidenced to be the main factor in facilitating change across any therapeutic modality. Trauma-informed and somatic principles strongly guide my approach, as I believe our bodies offer valuable insights into how real change can be made.
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. I will happily accommodate sensory needs you may have. The Brunswick location has an accessible ramp and bathrooms.
