About Rusne
Rusne Fokiene helps with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. She introduces simple ways to cope and aims to make each session feel manageable. Rusne speaks English and Lithuanian and works with people in the United Kingdom.
She trained in integrative counselling and holds a Bachelor of Science in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. Rusne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.
How Rusne works
Before independent practice she spent four years in the voluntary sector offering counselling to people from varied backgrounds. That early work included support for issues such as substance misuse, depression, anxiety, emotional trauma and grief. Those experiences shaped her view of how early life events affect thoughts, feelings and behaviour in adulthood.
She uses that understanding to help clients make sense of recurring patterns. Her style is practical and experiential. Sessions often include slowing down, noticing bodily sensations and using mindfulness-based ideas to build awareness.
Conversations are guided by the client's goals and progress is reviewed regularly so the work stays relevant. Rusne blends different techniques to suit the person in front of her. She can offer short-term focused help or longer-term exploration depending on what the client wants.
The aim is to develop skills that support resilience and clearer decision making over time.

Online support options
How Rusne’s approaches work online
Rusne draws on integrative methods that include mindfulness-based practices and core process psychotherapy elements. Mindfulness-based practices help people notice thoughts and body sensations without judgement and can be useful for anxiety, stress and improving emotional awareness. Core process psychotherapy elements encourage attention to inner experience and help uncover patterns that influence relationships and self-esteem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rusne will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest techniques to try. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods as progress and needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel closer to in-person work, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing written contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life and other commitments.
