Safety. Hope. Identity.
Ruth is a Clinical Psychologist who has built Quadrant out of her own life experiences including personal experiences of seeking psychological support. As a result the values of safety, hope and identity have emerged as the foundations upon which Quadrant has been built. Ruth draws upon a range of modalities to support her clients including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) and Compassion-focused Therapy (CFT). Ruth also has a special interest in the integration of nature with therapy and has her therapy dog Keeva as an integral part of the therapy space. Ruth is a registered provider for DVA.
Compassionate and Safe
Challenges and hardship are an inevitable part of life. For these difficult times, having proper support and strategies in place makes all the difference. We understand that seeking therapy can be both difficult and require vulnerability. Quadrant takes pride in providing tailored, collaborative, and compassionate support for clients which leads to real-life benefits. We are a client-focused and evidence-based clinical psychology practice which means that we will empower you with practical skills, tools, and insights.
We provide treatment for substance misuse, anxiety, depression, developmental trauma, PTSD, neurodevelopmental differences (ADHD), relationship issues, self-esteem issues, interpersonal conflict, perfectionism and burnout and adjustment stress.
KEEVA
Hi, I'm Keeva!
Quadrant is proud to be able to provide Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) to clients, with Ruth’s therapy dog Keeva often being present in the therapeutic space. Keeva (originating from the Irish Gaelic Caoimhe meaning “gentle, beautiful, precious”) is a six-year old Husky / Samoyed cross (Samusky). She is currently completing her AAT training and accreditation through Therapy Dogs Australia and is well known for her excessive amount of fur, her calm demeanour and her tendency to howl greetings to anyone she meets. She demonstrates how dogs can enable a sense of calm in an environment and how this be used to help calm and regulate activated nervous systems. For more information on the benefits of having Keeva in-session please see the AAT tab.
Note: Keeva is currently only at the Clinic on Saturdays.
