Hello! I’m Ruth
Over the last three decades I've had the privilege of coaching thousands of people from many different walks of life, supporting them to enrich their lives professionally and personally. MEET RUTH
In my experience the human spirit is infinitely creative and resilient; it seems we are capable of amazing things - individually and together.
But, sometimes we ‘forget’ how to tap into our natural vitality and power and we find ourselves unable to make the changes and achieve the outcomes we want in our lives and in our communities.
Coaching can remind us how!
free discovery call
We always begin with a free no-obligation discovery call to get to know each other a bit, explore what you want from your coaching, and ensure we are a ‘good fit’.
testimonial
“Coaching with Ruth enabled me to step back and better understand the different aspects of myself - including the parts of me that have a tendency to be over-responsible and over-empathise in relationships and the parts that get overwhelmed and feel like an imposter.
So much more is possible now; I feel loads more calm, I show up confident and happy. I’m a lot more creative at work, getting involved with much bigger things, and I’ve identified and embraced my own leadership style.
I’m even far more comfortable in my friendship group now I’m not worried about keeping everyone happy!
I’ve stopped getting in my own way and started going in my own way!”

testimonial
“Ruth's coaching has been completely transformational for me - not only in relation to my professional growth, but my personal growth too. Often leadership coaching can feel overly corporate; something that doesn't go to the deep reflective places that, say, psychotherapy does. Ruth is a rare coach; one whose approach bridges both the professional and deeply personal. She does deep, challenging work which taps into our humanity, our patterns, and the habits that might be holding us back - whilst also applying a practical approach that propels and creates forward motion.
When I first met Ruth, I was struggling in my personal life, and under pressure to perform professionally, having been recently promoted. Ruth was able to see the full picture; both the personal context and the high-pressure work environment which was demanding more and more of my attention and focus. In order to enable me to rise to the challenge of becoming a senior global leader, Ruth's work with me was adaptive. No two sessions were the same - but I could see a profound impact after just a few hours together.
Working with Ruth was without question one of the most important decisions of my career. And I have grown in many more ways than I anticipated - not just as a leader, but as a human too.”
