Dr Ruth Jarman

Clinical Psychologist

Interest Areas 

I am a Clinical Psychologist, passionate about helping you reach your wellbeing goals. I work with you and choose the most appropriate, evidence-based treatments and strategies to help you regain and maintain your mental health and to live your best life. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for everyone to explore and express their thoughts, emotions and identity, including neuro-diverse and LGBTQI+ people. 
 
I support you when your mental health needs to be prioritised, whether due to stress, life events or traumatic incidents. I work alongside clients with a range of short- or long-term mental health issues. I am particularly interested in working with people who experience difficulties after leaving high-demand, high-control groups. 

 

I believe an important component of psychology is a good therapeutic relationship, where you are accepted as you are and supported as you work toward your personal wellbeing goals. I work together with you to utilise the most appropriate evidence-based treatments and strategies that suit your individual needs. I use a range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness. I also provide a Post-Cult Counselling program for those who have left high-demand groups or religions to help former members understand and recover from their experiences.

 

I have a particular interest in working with the following presentations:
