she went to therapy following her split<\/a> from the Northern Irish presenter.<\/p>\nThe couple, who share son Jack, separated in May 2024 after 14 years of marriage.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Rylan Clark on BBC Radio 2, Ruth said:\u00a0‘I’ve had counselling and its the best thing I ever did.’<\/p>\n
‘All the situations and other things have come up and that was through a friend of mine who said, “Would you please maybe think about seeing my counsellor?”<\/p>\n
‘And she had helped her through a very difficult divorce. And I went, “I don’t need to see a counsellor, to tell me I’m sad”. She was like, “Honestly it’s so much more that that”.’<\/p>\n
Ruth continued: ‘Anyway, she pecked my head for so long. Eventually I said yes to shut her up, to be honest. I went, “Fine ok”.<\/p>\n

Eamonn\u00a0said ‘your health really is your wealth’ before adding that he understands society finds it hard to ‘deal with’ people with disabilities<\/p>\n
‘It’s the best thing I ever did and I’m still doing it. With your friends they’re always on your side really and they will stand by you whatever decisions you make or however you’re feeling, they’ll hold you up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘A counsellor is very different, they look at the bigger picture, they don’t know you and they never tell you what to do. She’s never told me what to do, she’s just guided me to think in different ways about things.<\/p>\n
‘Lots of people have picked up on this saying that she said to me, which was, “Find your light”.<\/p>\n
‘Everything felt so dark and she said, “Just use that energy that your feeling anger and sadness, try and bring that energy here and find your light”‘.<\/p>\n
