I am an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Holding a BSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a compassionate approach to my practice. In addition to being an experienced holistic therapist, I weave together a unique blend of therapeutic techniques to nurture the mind, body, and spirit—creating a safe and supportive space for your healing journey.
Before establishing my private counselling practice, I spent four years working in the voluntary sector, offering counselling to individuals from diverse backgrounds. During this time, I supported clients facing challenges such as substance misuse, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, emotional trauma, and grief. These experiences have deepened my understanding of how early life adversities can shape adult behaviours, beliefs, emotions, and thought patterns, inspiring me to become a deeply empathetic and compassionate therapist.
My therapeutic approach is dynamic, creative, and experiential, rooted in a genuine curiosity about your unique story. Drawing on elements of mindfulness and core process psychotherapy, I gently encourage clients to slow down, connect with their physical sensations, and explore their inner worlds. Together, we’ll navigate past experiences and future dilemmas, helping you uncover insights and develop lifelong skills for personal growth and resilience.
Whether you’re seeking short-term guidance or long-term support, our sessions will always be tailored to your goals, with regular reviews to ensure therapy continues to meet your needs.
Welcome to the conversation with a purpose!
Additional areas of focus: Abandonment, Attachment issues, Body image, Chronic pain, illness, and disability, Communication problems, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Impulsivity, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Midlife crisis, Self-love, Women's issues

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rusne Fokiene. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I look forward to our sessions. I used to find therapy upsetting, bringing up trauma. Rusne has made me feel so comfortable, from our very first session. I’ve recommended better help based purely on our interactions. She’s incredible at her job, and I tell her all the time!
