Ruairi Stewart

Having spent a few years receiving treatment from a couple of helpful individuals, I decided to seek something more for myself. I very much found this with Ruairi. Almost immediately, I was able to comfortably discuss my feelings, traumas and so much more. My nervousness about our upcoming sessions was quickly replaced with an excitement of moving forward. It has been 18 months since I last drank alcohol, and I truly believe that this would not have been the case if it was not for the guidance of Ruairi. His ability to show me the sources of my issues and at the same time build my confidence and self-belief, I am confident is the catalyst of my success. Today, I am not only in a better place but so is my family and my relationship with myself. Countability, commitment and confidence in myself and others are the everlasting joy I get to enjoy thanks to this clever young man from Northern Ireland.

I have just finished a 12-week program with Ruairi, I came to Ruairi with different anxieties both work-related and relationship related.
Ruairi broke everything down using various different therapies/processes and made everything real life - nothing was complicated.

He really changed my outlook in life and what I have going on in my own life, and showed me that it can be very easy to make little changes that can overall have such a different outcome in a situation that is taking control of your life.

I would highly recommend Ruairi, he is a true professional and a gentleman. Thank you again, Ruairi for all of your help and support.

I first saw one of Ruairí’s posts come up on social media when I was just coming out of the hardest year of my life, and felt like I was at a cross roads of either continuing my life feeling low, unconfident and lost in myself and how to continue, or finding some kind of change. I felt that the way he spoke resonated with how I wanted to change how I felt, leave behind the sadness, anger and grief and move forwards into being the best person I can be. From our first video call I came away feeling positive and optimistic that this was the way forwards for me to help get me to the space I wanted to be in life. I can honestly say it’s not just got me to where I wanted to be, but the work in therapy Ruairi has helped me overcome has aided me to achieve an ever better headspace and mindset I couldn’t have imagined my past self being in. After facing the most challenging periods of infidelity, a difficult relationship and divorce alongside a new baby and toddler in the mix, with family illness and bereavement in the most tragic of circumstances I felt lost in who I was, and felt I was living in a limbo of grief, fear about my future, and lack of self worth and self love which I wasn’t sure how to navigate. The techniques, conversations, home interactive learning and focus on improving my self esteem and self worth have been invaluable in carving out my old self and creating the new identity I can walk forwards in life with and have given me life long skills and habits that I know will continue to benefit me growing into the best version of myself. He has helped open up my mind to new ways of thinking, recognising new ways of coping and helping me ground myself in difficult moments. I cannot speak highly enough of Ruairi and his approach to this all, I found him so calming, knowledgable and intuitively seemed to know the right way to respond to all the range of emotions I felt thought out many of the difficult conversations I had, I appreciated feeling so safe with him and able to be open and vulnerable without any expectation. I have also laughed and enjoyed his sense of humour through the course of our work. I have honestly found this to be the most transformative and worthwhile investments into myself I have ever made and I cannot thank Ruairi enough for helping me come back from the hardest time in my life, feeling grateful for my present and positive about the future.

I am beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Ruari - for his time, patience and ability to tell it like it is and cut through the bullshit. I've felt my whole life I have been working through issues of self-esteem and self-value. I've worked through various programs in the past with initial intent but within days to weeks engaging in self-sabotaging behaviours as soon as I felt I may be making progress. Knowing never living up to the potential I knew I had inside me was becoming seriously overwhelming after 8 years of work. Within a couple of months of working together, I'm seeing progress like I could not have imagined. Old patterns seem to be melting away with fresh perspectives and as each week goes by I can see progress in how I am approaching life both for myself and in personal and professional interactions/relations.

Thank you, Ruari. I would not hesitate to recommend you.

I write this again several years afterwards & feel it's truly a good indicator of how well & substantial Ruairi's unique style of therapy is...
(tried & tested through & through)

I came to Ruairi (Dr Ruairi Stewart) during the time of crisis. Needing to handle & overcome particularly distressing challenging family situations. As well as understand my role within family dynamics & evolve through it w own responsibility towards life.

Ruairi's heightened intelligence, insight, clarity, sensitivity & support served not only to significantly assist & positively affect the immediate crisis (!)

But also to provide lasting & innumerable tools & processes that have carried on being immeasurably helpful re navigating life in gen, myself & others. Through any circumstances (!)

The insights, understandings, and implementation of powerful & positive fundamental tools serve as the foundation & guideline now for so much. So appreciative of his unique & multilevel all-encompassing approach.

Grateful for his incredible therapy
Cannot recommend him enough

Not only will Ruairi help untangle the crisis or lost phase one may be struggling with, but also equip ppl with the insights & tools that will help sustain, regulate & strengthen through any future stages or challenges.

Truly empowering, peaceful & liberating to feel this way while navigating this good life.

Thank u Ruairi 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I have been working with Ruairi for about 7 months and just recently finished up with my sessions and I’ve been finding it hard to put into words just how much he has helped me...

I have always struggled with anxiety, low self-esteem, experienced repeated patterns of burn out. I always felt there was something intrinsically wrong with me in how I couldn’t navigate life as easily as others around me. Ruairi has helped me understand how experiences of grief, trauma, my childhood and past relationships have impacted how I have been showing up for myself. I was a chronic people pleaser, and perfectionist and never considered my needs as importantly as others to the point that I didn’t even know who I was anymore. I was chronically stressed, convinced I was on my way to a chronic health condition or a nervous breakdown and I had completely lost myself in a toxic relationship.

In the past I had tried multiple times to start therapy but could never find the right person to work with. At our first meeting, I cried uncontrollably but felt so relieved to have someone who would listen with patience and without judgement. Ruairi is so genuine and I immediately felt safe. He helped me understand the impact of complex trauma, how it was stored in my body and to understand myself with more compassion. He empathised with and understood my situation and never judged me, importantly teaching me not to judge myself.

I knew that the relationship I was in had to end but didn’t feel I was able to leave and I didn’t think I would ever be able to cope. My world was falling apart. Ruairi helped me to build my confidence and see myself as someone who deserved better and was resourced enough to deal with the challenges of the separation. He helped me to break away and handle myself in a way that I am so proud of. As well as our weekly sessions he was just a message away. When I hit a really difficult bump in the road he helped me work through the anxiety I was feeling about my ex moving on. Ruairi taught me the importance of self-compassion and self-love and always challenged me to look at the narratives I have been telling myself based on my past experiences.

He has given me so many tools and helped me understand how to work with my brain and not against it. I honestly feel like a different person, I feel lighter, I feel like I am no longer weighed down with the weight of the grief and trauma I had been carrying around. I have so much confidence and excitement for my future. The work I have done with Ruairi has helped me to be a better mum and person. Not only changing my life but my daughter’s lives by giving them the best version of their mum. I can’t thank Ruairi enough for helping me to heal, I feel like he has helped me to get my life back.

The support Ruairi provides is so much more than talking therapy, he is so knowledgeable and takes a holistic approach to supporting healing with advice on routine, supplements, meditation, reading and so much more. I can only describe the techniques he used to help me process trauma and build my confidence as powerful and I honestly believe the work has changed my life!

I had the privilege of working with Ruairi during a challenging period in my life, where I was grappling with relationship struggles and navigating personal growth. Ruairi's approach was refreshingly honest and open, never hesitating to provide constructive feedback when it was necessary quality I deeply appreciated.

One of Ruairi's greatest strengths lies in his ability to draw from his own life experiences to provide insightful explanations for both my actions and those of others. Through his guidance, I was able to gain a deeper understanding of human behaviour and release any pent-up energy I held towards certain situations.

Ruairi's program was instrumental in helping me see things from a different perspective and uncover my true potential and capabilities. His use of hypnotherapy and boundary-setting techniques further enriched my therapeutic journey, providing me with invaluable tools for personal growth and self-discovery.

As I write this it brings a tear to my eye to how far I've come. Before working with Ruairi my system felt dysregulated, by the end of our sessions I felt more calm and better equipped with tools to manage this, especially through his guided meditations.

What truly set Ruairi apart was his utmost calming energy, which made each session something I looked forward to. With his guidance, I was able to work through my goals and values, gaining so much clarity on what I truly want in life- a revelation I hadn't been aware of before our session.

Ruairi your unwavering support honesty and expertise have been instrumental in helping me navigate life's challenges and emerge stronger and more self-aware. I am incredibly grateful for your guidance, It was an absolute pleasure to work with you.

Ruairi has an incredible way of holding such power and deep compassion. Not only that he has more tools and resources than most practitioners I know. He cares deeply and we'll go above and beyond for his friends and his clients, and I've witnessed that first-hand. I'm deeply grateful for Ruairi’s support what we did in those sessions completely transformed something that was looping for me for some time, thank you! If you have Ruairi in your corner get ready for your life to change powerfully and beautifully.

Where to start, I generally don't do reviews, but Ruairi deserves the best review as he is such a diamond! I started working with Ruairi in late 2018 and we have worked consistently every week to get me to where I am today. I am a stronger, more confident person and I have these changes down to the structured guidance of Ruairi and his work. I initially came to Ruairi for relationship issues with a partner I had recently broken up with. We tackled this while investigating my childhood.

It was a confronting process to open wounds that had healed; healed so well that it was hard to unpick them. Ruairi was extremely patient with me and I have grown from an adult child to an independent person who needs no external validation and knows my worth. Ruairi is a godsend and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I think therapy is the most important kind of self-love and kindness you can show yourself and I would encourage, anyone, embarking on their journey to reach out to Ruairi.

Thank you Ruairi for all you have done and continue to do with me!

Ruairí is a master of his craft. His powerful presence and deep listening skills create a safe and well-held space. It is evident Ruairí put in the reps as he was able to quickly identify the root cause and provide multiple solutions to aid in the healing process. He supported me in clearing the emotional attachment to an old relationship, which was impacting how I showed up in other areas of my life. If you’re looking for a Swiss Army knife that can support you in finding your deepest truth and creating more peace and freedom, Ruairí is your coach.

Working with Ruairi was transformative for me. He helped me navigate through a transitional period of my life where I was facing a lot of change. We worked through aspects of childhood that were holding me back from reaching my potential. I felt comfortable being open and it was like talking to an honest unbiased friend who has your best interest at heart. It was a big investment for me both financially and personally but it was worth it a hundred times over. Not only did it help during the sessions but even afterwards I now have the knowledge and tools going forward.

Working with Ruairi has been truly transformative. As a clinician, he is compassionate and always gives me the space and time I need to be seen and heard. His insights are invaluable and on point while the stargates he gives for effective change are simple and easy to apply.

I have worked with Ruairi a couple of times over the last few years. Initially, the focus was on personal boundaries which made a huge difference in the quality of my relationships and brought about massive change in my marriage. The second was focused on my self-confidence and how I showed up in business. The changes have been even greater and the results have been more than I could have imagined.

As I reflect on our time working together, the thing I appreciate most is his choice to be really honest with me in key moments. His ability to listen and see me meant that I could really trust his observations and respect those times he would point out my lack of congruency. He also has fantastic tools that have taken a number of my negative emotional triggers and simply remove them from my life.
