Why coaching?

We All Need Support…

If you are reading this, I am guessing something is not working in your life right now:

  • Perhaps it is with your relationships. You wonder if you and your partner still have anything in common; you have been frustrated with your kids lately, and work feels like a complete drain.

  • Maybe you have a rubbish relationship with food, and you don’t much like yourself.

  • Perhaps you feel overwhelmed with things you ‘should’ do but frequently don’t know where to start.

  • It could be that you do some things ok, but if you are honest with yourself, you haven’t lived up to your own expectations.

  • I wonder if you have had stretches when you don’t feel ok. You often feel like a failure, and anxiety has become a part of your life.

How are you feeling?

I suspect you are feeling tired; regularly tell yourself off; and oscillate between being resigned to where you are and thinking you should pull yourself together and get on with things. There was a time when you thought you could do something worthwhile, but now you have mostly given up because real life has gotten in the way of your dreams.

 

The first step to working with a coach can feel daunting. Most people don’t take that step. Even admitting you would like to or need to may add to your feelings of failure. I honour you for considering it, and I will make the journey as easy as possible.


Research tells us…

The most important part of working with a coach or therapist is feeling safe and like it is the right fit. We will have a short conversation where I answer any questions you have, and you get a chance to see if it feels right for you.

 

Freedom and choice are my highest values, so you get those in abundance from me. You can have a one-off session with me, but I see that people get the most out of coaching when they commit to themselves over a period of time. I offer a range of packages so that there will be one to suit just what you need.

 

The best way to work with me if you can get to the Cardiff area is outside walking. This is a beautiful way to be coached. You will feel safe, supported and well. The experience of being outside will help you to understand the things that have been missing. Coaching will make your life easier, not harder.


It is possible to ignore this…

You can carry on doing nothing about how you feel. What I see in the people around me is neglecting how you feel and the things that don’t work for you eventually lead to physical symptoms, physical pain, discomfort and illness. Taking responsibility for how you feel is the most generous thing you can do for the people around you.

When you feel well and energised, life will be better for everyone you care about. You can only make a difference for other people when you take care of yourself first. Anything else is unsustainable.


What you will get…

All of my clients feel happier after working with me. You will feel mentally stronger and start to feel like your life is working. Your relationships will get better both with themselves and with other people. This means you will have more energy, stop beating yourself up, and it will be easy to do the things you want to do.

If you would like to have more energy, feel emotionally lighter, enjoy your relationships or actually like yourself, then book a call with me now to find out if I feel like the right fit for you.

Freedom and happiness are possible if you take this first step.

There may be a few things in the way…

  • You feel like you shouldn’t need this. Most people cope without extra help: Find me a successful person who doesn’t have a coach or mentor. None of us are designed to go it alone. Getting the proper support is the simplest way to have the life you want.

  • You feel like you can’t justify spending money on this. I get that. Everything is a choice, and there are loads of things in life that need money. This is a question of priorities. When you ask yourself, ‘Is it important to be happy and well,’ if the answer is yes, what value do you put on it? If your life were working right now, you wouldn’t be worried about the money.

  • You already feel overwhelmed, and there is no time to do anything else. 24 hours a day is what we all have. When you work with me, you will find that you do have enough time. The time and energy you are currently spending because stuff feels so hard will free you up to do more of what you want.

What some of my clients have said:

  • "You will literally be walked through a process that gives you space and support, allowing you to understand and accept your situation, giving you back the confidence to move forward"

  • “Ruth has a real ability to listen - really listen - and then ask some real 'killer' questions that encourage me to root down and identify my own "truth" within. Ruth is an expert at teaching us to listen to and trust our own bodies (or gut) and takes us on a journey of self-discovery and congruence without expressing her own judgements. Ruth's extensive knowledge and interests mean I come away from our conversations feeling enlightened, empowered, excited but with added extra insights into health, books to read and fabulous people to connect with. I highly recommend you work with Ruth on some level!”

  • “I wanted to say a huge and massive thank you for all that your coaching has done for me. The way you intuitively coach is just amazing, I've worked with and had a lot of coaching, and you are in my top 3 of coaches who have impacted massively and changed my life. Were it not for you, I would not have the amazing relationship I now have as I was ready to give up and walk away and repeat the same pattern again. You taught me to look at things in a whole new way that was completely different from how most people work. It was so refreshing, and the best part was, although I was unsure about it I trusted you, tried what you were teaching, and IT WORKED! And it didn't just work it blew me away and made things happen for me far quicker than I could have imagined possible. And working on my relationship and my self-esteem didn't just make those things better it made every aspect of my life better. I and would happily recommend you to anyone as I know that if they work with you their happiness levels will transform into many levels higher than they are at now!” -

  • “Ruth’s coaching helped me save my marriage. I’ve always been the type of person who has one foot out of a relationship. It’s not brilliant, but it’s a strategy I learned to keep myself safe. Only I don’t want to leave my marriage. A big issue came up for us, and I wasn’t sure we were going to be able to overcome it. I was angry, hurt and ready to run. So I booked a session with Ruth. Not so that she could tell me to stay or give me permission to leave but so that I could be heard and get some clarity about what I really wanted. Ruth is really good at asking questions that get right to the root of what's going on. Ruth helped me figure out what I wanted and helped show me what I was avoiding. After our session, I was able to have a conversation with my husband and tell him what I wanted but also give him the space to tell me what he wanted and really listen to him. Our marriage isn’t perfect, but we are still having important conversations and talking about things that we previously both avoided and were causing conflict between us. Our communication is much better, and so is our relationship”.
