After 22 years in the HSE, Ruth has retired from her post as principal (specialist) clinical psychologist, in order to focus on her private practice.

Her areas of expertise are in weight management, binge eating disorder, trauma and chronic pain. She provides assessments and treatment for people preparing for weight loss surgery (bariatric surgery) and those having spinal cord stimulators fitted to treat chronic pain.
Separately, she offers therapy for a wide range of psychological issues from a faith-based perspective (Christian/catholic) as well as for people who prefer a purely secular approach. She is trained in EMDR, IFS (internal family systems) as well as insight-oriented psychotherapy.

As a chartered member of the Psychological Society of Ireland, health insurance companies cover some or all of the fee, depending on the plan. She offers in person and online appointments. She can be contacted directly on [email protected]
