The Core Values session was the best 2.5 hours EVER. Ruth created and held a safe and supportive container for me to unpack my ten values in a sensitive and loving way. The whole process was illuminating as I hadn't ever given any thought to why I had some of my values.
March 2024
Ruth has this amazing ability to really see you. She picks up on language and nuances and really mirrors them back to you and delves and explores them in detail. You feel like something is being lit up inside of you. Ruth challenges emotions and behaviours and the lightbulb moments that come from this are life changing. Ruth's passion and commitment to self development is inspiring and infections. She is a total life changer and I cannot wait to work with her again in the future.
December 2023
'Who am I?' unpacked in a few hours. I REALLY LIKE MYSELF! I am now more conscious of myself, and the people around me. This is an exercise everyone should do.
March 2024
I now feel I am on the right road to what I want. I feel much free-er and comfortable with my decisions and feelings. Coaching is an ongoing process and I feel like I now have the tools to self validate and be at peace with the direction I want to go in. The strength and conviction have found is unfathomable, and I am so proud I am starting to return to my authentic self.
December 2023
Coaching was more than I ever thought and the feeling of returning to myself and validating my own emotions, wants and needs was so enlightening. The life shift that has come with this wasn't something I actually knew you could even feel.
December 2023
I just wanted to say the biggest thank you to you from the bottom of my heart and express all my gratitude for you. My sessions with you really were the catalyst of me finally being brave enough to listen to my soul and what I truly wanted to do and the changes I needed to make to live my life aligned. Your soul and your life experiences and your gifts and the space you held for me gave me that and I will be forever grateful. It’s been such a journey the past few years but I know it’s all led me to this point and sharing my authentic self on social media, ready to start my business.
October 2023
My life feels so much better since the coaching. It no longer feels chaotic. I have a very different feeling of control and autonomy. To now have and understand 'Boundaries', I feel calmer, more aware, more confident, more focussed. I feel more in touch with myself, reconnected.
December 2022
Coaching has felt like looking at my life as a whole, but also exploring small details - how my life works for me, it has encompassed everything. Ruth is fantastic, a warm, gentle, compassionate, gifted, astute and extremely insightful coach. It was so very enjoyable, I absolutely loved and looked forward to our sessions. I didn't want it to end.
December 2022
Ruth is a warm, welcoming, non judgemental person who makes you feel at home. Her inquisitive nature made me think deeply. She made the sessions simple and enjoyable. Coaching felt much deeper (than counselling). I'm 100% better for it.
October 2022
I am at a new life stage and my youngest will be flying the next in the not too distant future. I am conscious of the clock ticking and I need to start planning and do all the things I want before it's too late. It was a very enjoyable session and very thought provoking. I have thought of nothing else since I left and have realised I haven't been listening to my dreams.

I was in a very bad place, right after making some life-changing decisions and under pressure to make more big decisions about my future and I felt really lost. Ruth guided me out of the wilderness of my thoughts and feelings and helped me recognise that I already have a lot of the answers. Identifying my core values felt like looking into a mirror and proudly saying 'this is me.'
January 2022
The biggest change I've observed since coaching is that I am much more comfortable accepting that whatever I think or feel is valid. As a consequence, I am a lot better now setting my boundaries. Also being clear on my values now, I feel like I'm standing on firm ground and not on quicksand anymore.
January 2022
Coaching with Ruth was a time which enabled me to process my thoughts, think more clearly, draw conclusions to troubling, hurtful situations at home, release unhelpful emotion and look more positively into the future. So it has been a very rewarding process.
January 2021
I am much more sure in myself. I have now finished uni and ....this is much less daunting for me than it would have been before. I came to coaching not knowing much about how it would help me, but it has changed a lot about my outlook on my life and has definitely benefitted me.
Undergraduate, May 2021
My life situation was very confusing - I was coming to the end of my uni education and I was very unsure about who I was and where I wanted to end up. The biggest benefit was probably been my reflection on relationships I have with people in my day to day life - If I am not being fulfilled through these, then I ask myself why, try to find a solution and if this doesn't work then I move on with no guilt.
Undergraduate, May 2021
The biggest benefit of Ruth's coaching has been gaining the strength to stand up for myself better.....I am better able to cope with the ongoing situation than before....keeping calm and focussed on the end goal is a lot easier.
January 2021
Coaching felt like speaking to a friend with experience. It opened my eyes to the possibilities that life has in front of me. Ruth challenged me and questioned me on my thoughts and decisions, but only to a level I was able to cope with. I found it quite liberating. At times, perhaps I was really wanting Ruth to jump in, tell me what I needed to hear, tell me how it sounded to her, an outsider, but it was all a very non-judgemental experience - Ruth seemed to want me to explore my reasons/ rationale, question myself to reach my own decisions - which was hard, but necessary.
February 2021
My life is transforming every day. Once Ruth had got me through the early days ......... I thought the worst was over and that I was done. But I then started working again (after an almost 20-year career break) and Ruth stepped in with useful steps to boost my confidence, she picked up on areas where I was doubting myself and lacking in confidence..........and bolstered me again when I needed it. She reminded me that my life, my dreams and passions mattered and that making others happy wasn't enough .. someone needed to make me happy. But I think first and foremost, I probably need to make myself happy.
February 2021
But whilst trying to make the biggest, hardest decision of my life, my instinct was to give almost anything a shot and I'm so glad I did. Now every time I doubt myself I remind myself who I am .. by means of those core values which I know are true to me.
February 2021
If you've reached a crossroads in life and need some direction, Ruth is your satnav of life. Helping to navigate you to your true values and goals in order to lead a fulfilled and happy life. Ruth shows you how to listen to your inner soulful voice - would highly recommend this enjoyable and enlightening course - we all deserve compassion, feeling and depth"
T, West Sussex, Autumn 2020
"Enlightening, empowering and thought provoking. And forgot to include highly enjoyable. It's taken a long time to get to know and like me. Thanks to Ruth I am feeling more positive about myself and the future."
J, West Sussex, Autumn 2020
I feel much more confident in that what I'm doing (starting up my own business) is allied to my values. it's great to get a finger on what's important in your life, without opening up any cans of worms. Ruth made it feel very easy. She has an open, warm and yet professional manner. I could hardly stop talking. Ruth guides you seamlessly though a process which results in increased clarity and confidence. She's there every step of the way.
November 2020
I would highly recommend coaching to anyone struggling in any small or huge way - Ruth is somebody I found I connect with very easily which made the whole process comfortable
2019
Coaching was very interesting and illuminating, made me aware of traits I hadn't consciously thought of before
2019
When I started my sessions with Ruth, I was completely stuck in life and unable to move forward. I had six sessions and I have now started my own business in something I am passionate about. Ruth had a large part to play in this and made me feel safe and non judged at all times (something that is very important to me)
2019
Coaching made me more self aware, not just of my 'faults' but of my strengths too
2019
I really would recommend Ruth. She made me feel like I could be open and eventually honest. That's a huge achievement
2019
Understanding what my core values are has had a huge positive impact in terms of how I react to people now
2019
I realised I was saying things I wanted to hear, but not necessarily my own truth. Ruth's challenging helped me see this, and deep down I already knew
2019
I realise that I am more capable than I think I am and now am achieving tasks out of my comfort zone

Welcome. How are you? Or more importantly, who are you? Who are you really, beneath the layers that you've added and edited over the decades? Who are you when you're alone, in the shelter of your solitude and under nobody's gaze? Which parts of yourself have you denied? Which dreams and wishes have you relegated to the shadows because you're 'too'? Too old, too inexperienced, too sensitive, too weak, too scared, too busy, too stuck in your ways.
But WHAT IF? What if you could start that business, leave that relationship, heal that connection, push for that promotion, set that boundary, love yourself more, take that trip. If not now then when?You are amazing and you are unique. You have a life story, a wonderful glorious story that holds chapters and scenes and characters and plot twists and themes. Nobody else has ever walked your path. You have so many chapters still to go, and it's up to you how the story ends.
I want to know your story. As your coach, I will listen to you with deeply focussed attention, and I will ask you questions that nobody has ever asked you before. Some of them will be challenging, some of them may be uncomfortable, but by really being curious about why you behave in the way you do, you'll gain a self awareness and clarity that will empower you to connect to what's important to you. I am here to support you in your awakening. We will explore your underlying beliefs, assumptions, expectations and the way you view the world. You will live more authentically, make better choices and focus your energy in the direction of what you really want.
Being coached is a bit like creating a map of yourself, marking out patterns, exploring unchartered territories, discovering new terrain and ultimately identifying our true selves.

For most of us, navigating relationships can often feel challenging. In the workplace it might be a colleague or boss. Or perhaps it's our partner, or our children. Families can be fertile ground for difficult relationships, perhaps with a parent, or siblings. And what about dating? How can we choose wisely, date with integrity and ensure we get our needs met?

As well as holding a Diploma in Transformational Coaching, I am also an accredited Youth and Education Coach. As a mum I know that with all the will in the world, we as parents are not always best placed to guide our own children through the minefield of being a teenager. This is where coaching, with its non-judgemental, neutral approach can really help young adults to move through their challenges and learn tools that will empower them for the rest of their lives. Whether your child is navigating friendship issues, struggling with academic pressures, or feeling that they don't belong, coaching can have a huge positive impact. It can also provide interim support for your child while they are on a waiting list for specialist help.

For some young people, university is a time of joy, new friendships and a growing sense of self -confidence and independence. For others, it can be fraught with challenges - from learning to live independently for the first time, to navigating new cities, to being immersed in a world of new people and experiences, to academic struggles. Add to that the pressure to 'know what I want to do' when they graduate, it can be a really tough time. This is a perfect gift for a graduating student.
