Ruth Martin

Professional Profile

My name is Ruth, I am a fully qualified and BABCP-accredited CBT therapist working with Think CBT from London, NW10.

I have ten years working in NHS mental health services; six years as a social worker and the last four years as a CBT Therapist.

I have experience of working with a wide range of mental health issues. I primarily offer CBT, but I have also undertaken enhanced training in Compassion Focused Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy; I incorporate both into my work where I think it may be of benefit to the client.

My aim is to work collaboratively with clients to identify ways in which they might be stuck in unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving. Once we have identified such patterns, we would then develop a plan of action for challenging thoughts and changing behaviours; this often involves experimenting with and adopting new coping strategies.

I work hard to ensure that clients come away feeling empowered and equipped with the necessary tools to face life's challenges.

I have an open, empathic and flexible approach, and I always try to fit the treatment around the client and what is most important and relevant to their goals and values.

I adhere to the professional and ethical standards laid out by the BABCP. I have full professional indemnity and current DBS clearance.
