Patricia Ruiz

Offering online and in-person counselling using a somatic, relational approach

My work emphasizes the healing and growth that can emerge in a supportive therapeutic relationship. My approach is collaborative, relational, somatic-based, and trauma-informed. I work with my clients to explore somatic awareness, self-attunement, understandings of emotions and needs, and insights and meaning. 

These are some of the areas I work with:

• trauma and trauma responses
• attachment injury and attachment wounds
• anxiety: worry, avoidance, perfectionism, self-image
• depression: low mood, rumination, guilt, shame, self-blame
• stress, burnout, and stress reduction
• grief, loss, and bereavement
• life transitions: graduation, immigration, career changes, relationship, identity
• issues relating to ageing, self-image, self-acceptance, and self-compassion

I'll listen without judgement and support you to process, and gain understanding of what might be needed, nurtured, acknowledged, or released, and together we'll explore what may be most helpful to you. My aim is to support you on your journey of healing and growth, and to create deeper connections to yourself and others.
