My Approach

Life is inevitably difficult at times and I offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental environment, working at a pace that suits you where we can gently explore what's happening on and beneath the surface . Therapy can help you understand yourself, make sense of your experiences, see your patterns and make choices that work better for you, moving toward a more balanced, meaningful and satisfying life.

If you're interested, please email me at ruxtonla@gmail.com with a brief outline of what you would like help with, your contact details, preference for face to face or online sessions and and your session day/time preferences. I'm happy to answer any questions and we would usually arrange an initial meeting to get a sense of whether working together feels right.

About Me

I am an experienced psychodynamic therapist with 16 years supporting clients in private practice and clients in the NHS for over 20 years. I help adults face-to-face in Leighton Buzzard or online with a wide range of emotional, relational and interpersonal issues, including life changes, anxiety, loss, relationship challenges, and feeling stuck. I also have specialised experience supporting the emotional, social and physical aspects of peoples sexual health in inclusive London clinics.

I usually work in an open-ended way, meaning we don't fix a certain number of sessions, giving you the time needed to work toward meaningful change. Short-term focused work can also be arranged if suited to a specific issue or goal. Sessions are typically once a week, on the same day and time, though more frequent sessions are possible. Sessions are available on Mondays and Thursdays with limited evening availability.
