Dr Ruth Bagshaw is a clinical, coaching, and forensic psychologist with over 35 years of experience in adult mental health settings providing therapy and psychological assessments. Ruth has worked in diverse settings and roles, from NHS leadership roles to private practice.
Ruth offers a range of therapies and works flexibly to meet individual needs and preferences. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR and other evidence based psychological therapies, supporting clients to overcome the effects of anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and more. Her approach is evidence-based and highly personalised, focusing on building a safe, empathetic therapeutic relationship where clients feel empowered to explore and overcome their challenges.
In addition to therapy, Ruth provides autism and ADHD assessments for adults, using NICE-recommended diagnostic tools. She also offers post-diagnostic coaching to help clients understand their diagnoses, build coping strategies, and leverage their unique strengths.

Over the course of the sessions I really felt layers were peeling away, in a very calm way. I don’t know if there was a formula, but the responses and tactics felt very personal and very natural. There was a framework but it was flexible enough to react to things that arose.
Clare and Ruth’s coaching practice is strongly rooted in evidence theory and experience. Flexible and tailored to the individual. Supportive, open and encouraging.
