“I can’t recommend Ruth highly enough – she’s a fantastic coach who is insightful and clear. She comes with a huge quality of experience and expertise and is warm and funny too. She had some really fantastic tools and a super helpful approach particularly for people like me who aren’t exactly in touch with their inner emotional world but who need to be. The sessions were practical and the experiments between sessions really helped to clear my mind, face up to and deal with some tricky things but crucially move on. I now have ideas and techniques to cope with future challenges. I feel in a much stronger and more authentic place in my life after the coaching and I can’t thank Ruth enough for her kindness and support.”

“Starting a new job after 8 years in a previous role, and during the pandemic I discovered the unpleasant feeling of imposter syndrome. Guided by Ruth I worked through my self doubt to give me a fuller understanding of my insecurities, where they stem from and how to challenge them. After six sessions I feel much more confident in my work space and would recommend Ruth to anyone who is contemplating self-belief coaching.”
— J, Director of Organisational Change
“Ruth helped me clarify the ways in which my self-doubt could be holding me back professionally from taking my next career step. We clarified what I would need to work on if I choose to work in specific types or organisations or roles in the future, including the kinds of people that I prefer to work with and why. I found it very helpful that Ruth has worked in the third sector for many years and so could bring her own professional experience into our discussions. It made me more aware of how other people may perceive me and have different ways of thinking to my own. Coaching with Ruth has enabled me to pursue an exciting new career direction with confidence and success.”

“When I started seeing Ruth I was a mess – after several significant life setbacks I was living a small and quiet life and couldn’t break through that. Working with Ruth I dug the ground out from under my feet, which was tough at times, and I couldn’t have done it without Ruth’s unique blend of unconditional warmth and to-the-point challenge. Ruth supported me to step outside the seemingly impregnable boundaries I had created and back into my own power. It’s been completely eye-opening and both the present and future look bright and welcoming as a result. I highly recommend Ruth – money and time well spent.”
