Dr Who? Dr Ruth?
Welcome to a site in the making. Apologies for its prolonged preliminary state. While the creation of CCTLB is in progress, I would like to introduce myself:
My name is Florian Alexander Ruths. (mind the |s| at the end)
I am a trained medical doctor, specialised as a consultant psychiatrist, and a cognitive therapist. I hold a Medical Doctorate Degree.
I am a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and a chartered CBT therapist with the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP)
I work as a consultant general adult psychiatrist at the Maudsley Hospital in London.
I also work as a locum consultant psychotherapist at the Psychotherapy Unit at the Maudsley Hospital where I practice Cognitive Therapy, mainly for depression and anxiety disorders.
I run the Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy Programme (MBCT) there, which focuses on the prevention of relapse of depression.
I teach Cognitive Therapy on the MSc Course for Mental Health and Social Work at the Institute of Psychiatry in London.
I teach Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy on the CBT Postgraduate Diploma Course at the Institute of Psychiatry in London.
I appeared as a main CBT therapist on a Channel 4 TV documentary on the treatment of health anxiety or hypochondriasis (“Hypochondriacs-I told you I was ill!”). It was shown on Channel 4 on the 19th of February 2007 and on More 4 on the 9th of December 2007.
I work part time in the NHS and I have a private practice in the City of London.
I can offer my services in English, German and Spanish language.

For some clients living in South or South East London, I may be able to assess you at home, depending on prior arrangements.
NHS practice:
The referral process in the NHS is generally organised via a GP referral. Please check with your GP about the referral process.
Please note that any NHS referral through your GP would be towards an NHS service, not to my direct named care. In general, NHS referrals work by GP address and residential address.
My NHS practice is based at the Maudsley Hospital, 105 Denmark Hill, London SE5 8AZ.
Fees:
My fees vary according to duration of our session and the service you require. As a general guidance, my fees start from £ 295 for an initial assessment, which comes with a report on our consultation sent to you personally. Please enquire directly to discuss fees for the service that you require. My fees are negotiable, as above depending service required, on where I see you and on your language requirements. I plan to offer MBCT groups, which would have a different fee structure. I am registered with most health insurers.
