About Dr Ruth Henderson
Dr Ruth Henderson is a Chartered Counselling and Clinical Psychologist, registered with the HCPC (Health Care Professional Council) and accredited by the British Psychological Society. She holds additional accreditation in cognitive behavioural and EMDR therapies, bringing a range of evidence-based approaches to her practice.
Dr Henderson offers several therapeutic modalities tailored to individual needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the here and now, helping clients work with present thoughts and behaviours. By contrast, EMDR works as a bottom-up therapy, accessing the core of issues by unlocking blocked neural pathways. Person-centred therapy forms the foundation of her work, with the client's own direction and focus driving each session. Psychodynamic therapy explores the nuances of what is felt within the therapeutic relationship, while Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy offer additional domains within the CBT framework. General counselling sessions are also available.
A distinctive feature of Dr Henderson's practice is the presence of Archie, her therapy dog, who helps clients feel at ease and supported during sessions. This creates a calming environment alongside her clinical expertise and personalised approach to care.
Dr Henderson works with clients seeking psychological support through evidence-based therapy, whether addressing specific challenges or exploring deeper patterns of thought and feeling.
