I approached Ruth 6 weeks ago after seeing one of her videos regarding anxiety which I knew I had. Ruth got back to me and I went on a 6 week course.

This is one of best decisions I have ever made.

I had never done anything like this before but so glad I did it. Ruth was amazing, she is calm, understanding and professional at all times. The progress I have made is down to the work me and Ruth have done together. The resources Ruth gave me has helped which I have been able to use in my day to day life.

I felt I could talk to Ruth about anything. I strongly recommend Ruth, if there is anyone who hasn’t done this before like myself then do it, you won’t regret it. Thank you, Ruth!

A Practical Toolkit for Managing Panic and Travel Anxiety

Ruth is truly one of the kindest and most compassionate people I’ve ever met. Over the course of four sessions, I experienced a profound breakthrough in just our second meeting. Ruth provided me with a practical, personalised toolkit of genuinely useable techniques to help me regulate my anxiety and manage the onset of panic in a calm, grounded way.

Our sessions coincided with a trip to Cornwall — a time when I’d typically find travel exhausting and emotionally challenging. This time, however, was completely different. I journeyed peacefully, with little to no anxiety, and found myself fully present, enjoying beautiful moments of joy and stillness. I genuinely believe Ruth’s support and techniques helped make that possible.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Ruth to anyone — friends, family, or anyone seeking more inner peace. If you’re looking to work with someone who genuinely cares, who meets you with warmth and deep understanding, and who truly wants you to feel that calm we all deserve, then book a session with Ruth. You absolutely won’t regret it.

When I first met Ruth, I knew instantly that she was the right woman to work with.

As a small business owner trying to stay relevant, be fully present for my clients and juggle home life, I needed a trusted, safe space where I could be completely open. Ruth gave me exactly that.

I now have a much deeper understanding of how I process emotions, what triggers feelings of stress or overwhelm, and the tools I can use to navigate the unavoidable ups and downs of running a business.

I’m sleeping better, communicating my needs more clearly and feeling in a much better place overall.

Thank you so much, Ruth. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to other women in business or to my own clients.

Finding Strength and Growth Through Compassionate Guidance

I genuinely cannot thank Ruth enough for the support, compassion, and insight she has offered me. From the very beginning, I felt heard, safe, and understood.

Ruth’s ability to gently guide me through difficult moments, whilst also empowering me to find my own strength, has been truly life-changing. Ruth never rushed me, always met me with empathy, and helped me make sense of things I thought I’d never be able to understand.

I’ve grown so much emotionally and mentally through our sessions, and I’m incredibly grateful for Ruth’s role in that journey. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ruth to anyone.

Neurodiversity-affirming coaching

A Transformative, Autism-Affirming Approach to Healing

R.
Direct

Over the years I’ve tried numerous forms of therapy and accessed different mental health services, but working with Ruth has felt completely different.

One of the biggest things about any therapeutic relationship is finding someone you genuinely connect with. It’s about the relationship you build, the trust, the safety, and how adaptable they are.

That’s why working with Ruth has been so transformative. Being autistic has always been a huge barrier when accessing support, but Ruth has never made assumptions.
She sees me as a whole person. She adapts to me rather than expecting me to adapt to the process.

Every session is uniquely different. Even on the days when I have no social battery and can barely speak, she meets me where I am. More than anything, she’s helped me become more self-sufficient. She hasn’t just listened – she’s given me a toolkit that I can actually use.

Over these last 18 months I’ve found more self-understanding, more compassion for myself, and a much deeper sense of gratitude. I’ve healed, I’ve grown, and I now have tools that will stay with me for life. I’m incredibly grateful to have Ruth as part of my journey.

It’s such a rare thing to find someone who truly sees you as a whole person, honours your autonomy, and creates a space where you feel genuinely safe.

Thank you Ruth for everything.

Finally Understood: Neurodivergent-Affirming Trauma Support

R.G.

As an autistic, neurodivergent individual with complex childhood trauma and PTSD, I’ve faced massive barriers in accessing therapy and support for emotional regulation. Finding a therapist who truly understands my needs has always been a challenge – until I met Ruth.

Ruth’s reasonable adjustments have been incredible. She has worked with me in a way that finally makes sense, helping me navigate one of the most challenging periods of my life.

Her ability to balance past trauma with present-day relevance is something I’ve never experienced in therapy before. She has helped me develop healthy coping strategies that actually work for me, rather than forcing me into a neurotypical framework that doesn’t fit.

What sets Ruth apart is her adaptability, empathy, and deep understanding. I haven’t had to fight to be understood – she has naturally adapted her approach to suit my needs with little effort from my side. That in itself has been life-changing.

Six weeks ago, I was in a completely different place. Thanks to Ruth, I am now in a far better, more stable position, and I am deeply grateful for the support she has provided. If you struggle with emotional dysregulation, trauma, or neurodivergent communication challenges, I highly recommend having a consultation with Ruth.

Thank you so much, Ruth – you have made an incredible difference in my life.

Choosing to work with Ruth when I was completely stuck, overwhelmed and overstimulated has been incredible, I would certainly recommend her as a fantastic trauma informed coach, helping me find calm within the chaos!

Ruth holds a lovely space during sessions, with a balance of validation and listening when needed, helping with processing stuff from the past that affects me today, and also working with my nervous system to take the small steps I needed to move forward.

Thank you so much Ruth, the mix of what you can bring into our sessions is wonderful, I felt supported every step of the way and the difference you made to mine and my children’s life is something I will be eternally grateful for.

Breaking the Cycle of Reactivity: Nervous System Regulation for Parents

I came to Ruth at a point when I felt like I was constantly running on empty. I was short-tempered with my kids, anxious about everything that could go wrong, and quietly worried that I was sliding into helicopter parent territory. I wanted to let go of people-pleasing tendencies and to become a calmer, more patient parent, but I needed additional tools to get there.

My first impression of Ruth was her remarkably warm presence, matched by an extraordinary depth of knowledge. Her understanding of the nervous system and how it connects to emotional regulation is truly impressive. She has a gift for explaining the science in a way that’s clear and captivating, and that also provides an essential framework for the work that follows.

What feels different about Ruth’s process is that she gave me practical tools for life and parenting almost immediately. Her guidance has not only helped me with my own reactivity but also translated directly to supporting my kids when they’re in the thick of a tantrum. That has been one of the most meaningful gifts of my time with Ruth. Our house is calmer and my kids are getting a more grounded and present version of me.

One practical note: Ruth is based in the UK and I’m in the US, and she has been incredibly accommodating with the time difference. I’ve mixed up our timing on more than one occasion, and Ruth has navigated it with such grace. It never once felt like a logistical hurdle.

You will never question that Ruth cares! She is brilliant at what she does, and she’s also just a genuinely lovely human being.

Ruth has been absolutely amazing with my daughter. She’s worked so hard and with such care, making everything seem so natural and effortless. She’s given my daughter the tools and confidence to manage her anxiety, understand her emotions, and recognise how her feelings show up in her body. Over the weeks, Ruth has built such a lovely relationship of trust and understanding with her, and the progress we’ve seen has been incredible.

Her approach is gentle, warm and nothing is too much trouble for her.

I’m so grateful for everything Ruth has done and would recommend her to anyone without any hesitation.

Relationships & Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

Restoring Calm After Covert Narcissistic Abuse

Ruth instantly put me at ease and her support has got me through a very difficult time in my relationship with my partner. Being in a long term relationship with someone with covert narcissistic tendencies had left me depleted, unsure of who I am and not knowing which way to turn but, Ruth has been so reassuring and has helped me to see and understand the patterns of behaviour with more clarity.

I had always tried relaxation techniques when I was feeling anxious, trapped or in a total panic but often felt frustrated when they didn’t work. Her explanation of the science and the variety of practical tools she gave me to help regulate me depending on how I was feeling have been invaluable in helping me restore some calm in my life and has actually helped me to get some sleep each night. As a result I feel more confident , I’m trusting my feelings more and I’m able to communicate my thoughts and needs more clearly.

All of this has also benefitted me at work. I feel calmer, am able to prioritise tasks and am working through issues and pressured times with more ease… I can’t thank Ruth enough!

Ruth is absolutely amazing at what she does.

I came across Ruth randomly on social media when I was in a real bad place from a long marriage and bad divorce, I had no idea how to get myself on track.

Ruth has given me a safe space to work through so many things, she does not judge and completely understands what life can throw at you, the techniques she uses have changed my life in so many ways, from where I was to where I am now, is night and day.

I’ve recently started a business which I have been able to do because of Ruth, with the sessions and tools she has shown me, I overcame my fears, and low self worth, and I’m the happiest I have been in years.

I owe so much to Ruth, no words will ever be enough, she is a very special person, I would absolutely recommend Ruth to anyone and trust that they are in an amazing person’s care.

Ruth has been a lifesaver during a very difficult period in my life. Ruth’s knowledge, compassion and intuition has been hugely helpful when navigating complex relationship and trauma related issues, and her ability to gently steer me towards developing a more grounded and nourishing relationship with myself has been invaluable. Ruth draws on many different strands of coaching practices in her work, always responding to what needs attention; session by session and moment to moment. Ruth’s warm and caring nature, coupled with her expertise and skill-set has been transformative and deeply healing for me. I really cannot recommend her enough.

Reclaiming My Sanity: Healing from Coercive Control

M.B.
Direct

Well what can I say. I feel like Ruth has saved my soul as well as my sanity! I contacted her in January 2025 after a horrendous Christmas. I felt like my world had finally caved in. Even after many years of the usual therapy, I knew I had to try and find another way to try and cope with life and traumas I had endured throughout my life. I searched late one night and stumbled across her and that was when my journey in accepting my real self began.

I have just finished my 6th session and the complete switch in myself has been incredible! I am a new person, but not only for myself but the ripple effect for my loved ones has been worth every tear I have shed!

Her patience and understanding, her knowledge and the practical tools she has given me have been so effective. It all makes complete sense when you have someone you can trust & confide in. Someone you can open up to without the feeling of being judged. For me that was huge. Ruth made me realise that all the years of feeling like I was not good enough was coercive control. I am enough, and deserve to be happy. I’ve earned it.

There have been many penny drop moments with Ruth. She has allowed me with care and understanding to work it out in a way that suits me. Thank you Ruth for your friendship and trust.

Healing the Freeze Response: Finding Closure After a Long-Term Marriage

Ruth is one of the most caring, kind, compassionate people I have ever met.
When my long term marriage ended I was struggling with depression, anxiety and stress. I had been having talking therapy and it had helped to a certain extent.
I connected with Ruth as I was living in constant freeze & fight or flight.
I could feel I was carrying the trauma in my body.

Ruth’s compassion and kindness helped me through this difficult time.
She taught me coping strategies and supported me. I had several sessions of Brainspotting Therapy and this helped with the trauma to close the loop. To get some closure.

Ruth was always there to support me, with words of encouragement and support. I would often listen back to her voice notes as they brought me a sense of calm. I’m in a better place now and much of this is down to Ruth & the support she has been to me.
