Therapist: Ruth Richards
Taking responsibility for our psychological wellbeing is just as important as taking care of ourselves physically. We live most of our lives on autopilot and can end up feeling overwhelmed, anxious guilty and irritated – often with habits, we would like to change.
Hypnotherapy is an effective way to create new habits to live your best life. Whether it’s weight reduction, anxiety or stress, pain relief, public speaking, fears and phobias or to stop biting your nails, hypnotherapy can support your mindset to create new habits that can change your life.
As a Hypnotherapist and Coach, my role is to facilitate the improvement clients want to make in their lives in a safe and comfortable environment. When a client has that ‘aha’ moment of making a change it is empowering for both of us.

Personal Development Coaching
With such busy lives one of the things can cause general stress is not paying attention to ourselves and being authentic. Whether it is people pleasing, the fear to say no or not having clear boundaries about what is and is not acceptable to us, failing to be authentic and put ourselves first causes stress as we try to be all things to all people. Failing to connect with our own intuition and listening to what our body and mind wants from us can often get ignored.
It can be hard to connect to that inner wisdom and the voice within that has the answers we need for our lives. Through visualization techniques as well as more traditional coaching methods, Ruth can help you to re-connect with your intuition to focus on living your best life.
Often known as ‘The Tapping Therapy’ and ‘Psychological Acupressure’, EFT is a relatively new discovery within the realm of Energy Psychology. It works on the principle that all negative emotions are a disturbance in our body’s energy system, which is called the meridian pathways and is the same energy system that is used in Acupuncture. EFT tapping works to clear the emotional disturbance so negative emotions actually drain away, till they are gone.
As it is now widely accepted that emotional disharmony is a key factor in physical symptoms and disease, this technique is being extensively used on physical issues as well as emotional issues, including chronic illness often with amazing results.
