ABOUT ME

I am a life coach based in Glasgow who works with people questioning their relationship with alcohol. After six years alcohol-free myself I know change isn’t about willpower, it’s about understanding the patterns that keep you stuck and building a different way of living.

If alcohol is taking more than it’s giving, we’ll look at that honestly. No labels, no pressure, just clear thinking, practical steps and support to help you move forward in a way that actually lasts.

I have a Diploma in Transformative Life Coaching from The Animas Centre of Transformational Coaching, London. I have been a qualified and practising Transformational Life Coach since October 2023.

`’Accredited by the ICF (International Coaching Federation Level 2), the EMCC (Senior Practitioner), and the Association for Coaching, the programme meets the highest international standards of coach training and professional development.” - Animas

I am also a qualified College Lecturer and have been teaching Fine Art at City of Glasgow College since 2007. I have a Post Grad Diploma in Teaching in Further Education and a BA Hons in in Environmental Art, Fine Art at Glasgow School of Art.

Ruth is a brilliant coach who helped me cut through the noise, filter my priorities and make an action plan for my path forward.

MA - coaching client, 5 Star Google Review
"Ruth is an incredible empathetic communicator, helping me find clarity and a clear path forward after just one session. I felt overwhelmed by the decisions I was putting off in relation to my career but Ruth was able to help me separate what was deserving of my attention and how to prioritise. It felt like a load had been lifted, and Ruth's sense of humour and positivity makes her skills unique to what she already offers. I cannot recommend her highly enough if you are needing any support with moving forwards."

MY COACHING APPROACH

Honesty

Lets start with getting really clear about the storied you are telling yourself. We will re address the narratives are playing on repeat.
Reflect

I will mirror back the information you tell me so that you can really get to grips with what you are telling yourself. I will use many different coaching techniques to do this.
Action

Coaching is future facing and is rooting in realistic achievable action. We will construct this together, set goals and I will provide accountability.
