About Rusne
Rusne Fokiene is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness or pain, and questions about life purpose.
She trained to a BSc level in integrative counselling and psychotherapy and spent four years working in the voluntary sector before moving into private practice. In the voluntary sector she provided counselling to people experiencing substance misuse, depression, emotional trauma, grief and relationship problems. Those roles shaped her understanding of how early life experiences influence adult behaviour and beliefs.
Her style is described as integrative and experiential. She draws on mindfulness techniques and elements of core process work to help people notice physical sensations, slow down and reflect. Sessions aim to balance looking at past patterns and practical steps for managing current difficulties.
Rusne works collaboratively with clients to set goals and review progress regularly. She offers both short-term support for a specific problem and longer-term counselling where deeper exploration is needed. Language options include English and Lithuanian.
Practical arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking their first session through the site’s online options button.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
She commonly works with mindfulness-based techniques, inviting people to slow down and notice bodily sensations. This approach can help with anxiety, stress management and reducing reactivity by building simple attention skills.She also draws on core process elements, which focus on exploring feelings and internal patterns that repeat over time. That kind of work can be helpful for attachment concerns, unresolved grief and understanding habitual responses in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods with the client and agree a plan that fits their goals and preferences. This collaborative review continues as therapy progresses so techniques can be adjusted where needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.
