Kind Words

“I received support for a career/development journey and Ritta had suggestions of things to try, particularly when I couldn’t see a way through – I was just in a cloud of confusion.  Ritta was one of the best coaches I have worked with – she brought an extra dimension to the coaching, which is apparent from her training, which was also quite inspiring.”

“The coaching sessions helped me to reframe and re-evaluate my perspective on myself, my behaviours and actions. It has helped me to challenge my inner narrative that was often negative and has made me give time and space to reflect. I achieved more self-respect through this process and a more compassionate view on myself. This helped me through the process of leaving one job and entering into a new role.”

— Johanna

“I have developed the ability to recognise my potential, value my skills, knowledge, and experience, and learnt how to communicate these effectively. The coaching was particularly helpful in that I could bring about change in myself while remaining true to who I am.”

— Jayne

“This was an invaluable experience for me. I had really been struggling with my job, and the coaching sessions have helped me refocus and create healthier boundaries in the workplace. Our coaching sessions have given me a lot to reflect on and helped in many ways. I have achieved a healthier perspective on how I engage with colleagues and my role in the department, which has already begun to significantly improve the low mood and burnout that I had been experiencing.”

“Ritta’s approach to challenging and stretching was very intuitive. She challenged some very deep rooted beliefs I had and helped me to see things in a different light. She also helped me to make commitments to actions which I struggle with. This was always done in a very kind and compassionate way which I appreciated. I’m finding that some of the exercises I did with Ritta are still resonating and continuing to impact my life in meaningful ways.”

— Kathryn

“I would highly recommend Ritta. I had always thought that you needed to have a real strive for achieving something big, to benefit from coaching, but this opportunity has been just what I needed. The issues I came to coaching with have been turned around and I am well equipped to manage my own internal coaching through the skills and expertise that has been given.”

— Nicky

“Thank you for your support, Ritta. I have felt part of a safe space where I could share my thoughts without being judged. Her experience and kindness helped me to better analyse my actions, feelings and thinking to help develop greater self-confidence. Specific coaching models will be of great help going forward in my academic practices.”

— Lena

“I have gained a lot of tools for working through issues and building my confidence to address them. Ritta has been very encouraging, so I felt able to be open about issues I was experiencing, meaning that we could then discuss and find ways to address them.”

— Emma

“Ritta has been a great coach for me, really getting me to think deeper around certain subjects. Ritta made me want to hold myself accountable for the work I would do outside of our session and as a result I have a clear plan of how I am going to move forward with my career with a focus on personal development and skills mapping.”
