About Rusne
Rusne Fokiene is an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of clinical experience and helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also works with concerns such as guilt and shame, attachment and abandonment, body image, chronic illness and pain, and isolation.
She trained to a BSc level in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and began her career in the voluntary sector. For four years she offered counselling to people from diverse backgrounds, including those facing substance misuse, depression, trauma and bereavement. That work shaped how she understands the long-term effects of early life adversity on adult beliefs and behaviour.
Her style is practical and exploratory. She mixes evidence-based techniques with creative, experiential methods. Sessions often include mindfulness and attention to bodily sensations to help people notice how feelings show up in the body.
Rusne uses core process ideas to look at patterns that developed from early experience. She guides clients to make sense of past events and to try out small changes in thinking and behaviour. Reviews happen regularly so goals can be adjusted as needed.
She offers therapy in English and Lithuanian and works from the United Kingdom. People can choose shorter-term work or longer support depending on their needs. Before booking, confirm the current session options and formats directly with the service.
Approaches used online and how they help
Rusne draws on integrative, evidence-based methods that include mindfulness practice and core process ideas. Mindfulness involves gentle attention to thoughts and bodily sensations; it can help with anxiety, stress and noticing how guilt or shame appears in the body.Core process work focuses on patterns that started in earlier life and continue to shape current reactions. It helps people recognise repeating habits and test new ways of relating and responding to difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed regularly so techniques can be adjusted as needs change.
The practical benefits of remote sessions should be checked before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Confirm the exact session options available. Many people find remote or off-site sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or remove the need to travel to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of meeting to make therapy fit into everyday life without changing the therapeutic aim.
