About Ruth
Ruth Belfield is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with relationship strain, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, coping with life changes, stress and anxiety, and anger. Ruth also assists with grief, sleep and eating concerns, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related issues and first responder challenges.
Ruth keeps conversations direct and practical. She focuses on building clearer thinking around difficult situations. Sessions look at patterns that lead to repeated arguments, simmering resentment, or sudden outbursts. The aim is to help people notice what triggers their anger and try different responses in everyday life.
Her work includes short-term problem solving and longer conversations when needed. Ruth talks through goals, practical steps and small experiments clients can try between sessions. She also supports people coping with career setbacks, motivation problems, and changes at home.
Ruth adapts the way she works to each person’s situation. She explains options and helps set clear, manageable targets. Conversations are straightforward and focused on skills people can use right away.

Working online with practical approaches
Ruth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anger and related problems. One common approach focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep patterns of anger going. This helps people test new ways of responding and reduce repeated flare-ups. Another approach she may draw on teaches practical coping skills such as breathing, grounding and short behavioural experiments to reduce immediate intensity and rebuild calm.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ruth will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then agree which techniques to try. The process is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new issues arise.
