About

Ruth Dixon is a highly skilled and compassionate Psychotherapist, accredited by MIACP, with a diverse and extensive focus on a wide range of therapeutic areas. With over 9 years of experience in practice, she specialises in treating eating disorders, childhood developmental trauma, sexual trauma, grief and loss, and various other forms of traumatic experiences including medical trauma, chronic pain/fibromyalgia, PTSD, and the effects of coercive control and narcissistic abuse.

Ruth works with clients across a broad spectrum, including adults, adolescents, and children from 4 years old, and also offers therapy for couples facing relational challenges. Her therapeutic approach is integrative, using techniques such as Somatic Experiencing Therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) to address the debilitating effects of trauma. She focuses on helping the body and mind heal in tandem, creating a safe, supportive environment where clients can work through challenging emotional and psychological struggles. Ruth also integrates couples therapy with Somatic Experiencing Therapy to help couples build deeper and more intimate emotional connections.

Ruth holds a certificate from the Couples Therapy Institute Ireland, having completed her certification as a Couples Therapist in 2023. She is a certified EMDR practitioner by EMDR Ireland, having earned her accreditation in 2020. She also holds a Higher Hons Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy, having graduated in 2016. Ruth applies a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Attachment-Based Therapy, EMDR, Humanistic Therapy, , Person-Centred Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy, all tailored to meet the unique needs of her clients. Her mission is to offer healing and clarity to individuals and couples, empowering them to overcome trauma and lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
