Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, lost, or isolated?
Maybe it’s hard to slow down your thoughts, feel present in your body, or make sense of what you're going through. Life might look “fine” on the outside, but inside, it feels like you’re barely keeping it together. Whether you’re navigating a significant life transition, dealing with old wounds, or simply trying to stay afloat, therapy can provide a space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
You don’t have to face these challenges alone. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard and supported. Together, we’ll focus on helping you build confidence, improve your relationships, and reconnect with your authentic self.
Hi, I’m Momtaz — a person-centred counsellor offering therapy to young people and adults. I work face-to-face, remotely and by telephone.
Welcome to Ruh Therapy
The name Ruh, inspired by the Arabic word for Spirit, embodies the profound and timeless essence of the human soul. In our approach, this reflects the deeply personal and intangible journey toward self-discovery and healing.
At Ruh Therapy, we embrace the principles of person-centred therapy, honouring each individual's unique inner spirit. Just as Ruh signifies the eternal life force within us, our therapy creates a compassionate, supportive space where your authentic self can be understood, valued, and nurtured—allowing you to grow and heal at your own pace.

How I Work
Everyone’s experiences and challenges are unique. That’s why I work in a relaxed, compassionate, and collaborative way — meeting you where you are, at your own pace. Whether you're navigating anxiety, stress, low mood, or simply feel unsure about what’s next, I’m here to help you make sense of your feelings, explore your inner world, and discover your own path forward.
There’s no pressure or expectation. Our work together is flexible and client-led — you decide when to begin, pause, or end therapy. Whether you're looking for support with a specific issue or seeking personal growth, our sessions can help you gain clarity, build resilience, and move toward a more fulfilling life.
I have experience supporting clients with a range of issues, including:
Anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem
Grief, miscarriage, and stillbirth
Trauma, including experiences of rape and sexual violence
Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and commercial sexual exploitation (CSE)
Domestic abuse and violence
Experiences of torture, exile, and the asylum-seeking process
Areas I Work With
In my counselling work, I’ve supported clients facing some of life’s most difficult challenges — always with sensitivity, care, and respect. I strive to provide a safe and confidential space where you can feel supported, no matter what you're going through.

Testimonials
Momtaz has been fantastic. The sessions have been really helpful and provided me with a great insight and way forward. Momtaz is so lovely and puts you at total ease
— Nate
I have found speaking to Momtaz really useful. It’s allowed me to discuss things I wouldn’t normally speak to anyone else about. It’s been really informative and helped me so much. It’s also given the opportunity to look at how I deal with things and that I need to allow myself to have self care, more often!
