Psychodynamic Therapy and Accessible Online Support



Ruth Dixon practises psychodynamic therapy, an approach that explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and relationships. This work often involves reflecting on recurring emotional responses and interpersonal dynamics to increase self-understanding and reduce distress, which can be helpful for issues such as anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, and coping with major life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Ruth collaborates with each client to identify what will be most helpful. She uses a tailored, respectful dialogue to agree goals and methods that match a client’s needs, preferences, and pace, so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy or geographically dispersed clients. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access consistent support with greater flexibility around scheduling and location. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with a registered professional and to continue therapeutic work even when life circumstances make in-person meetings difficult.
