Ruth Kitchen

Executive Coach - Clitheroe, Manchester, Leeds

I specialise in working with women executives leading projects and teams in international contexts.

Emotional Management training provides a framework, powerful questioning and practical tools to enable clients to find new perspectives and satisfying solutions to current challenges.

Part of the work involves identifying ingrained patterns and responding to and reshaping cultures (corporate, team, personal) which are preventing individuals, teams and organisations from realising their potential.

I have been coaching since 2019 and have worked with corporate clients in France, Switzerland, Germany and the UK.

My background as a university lecturer and researcher enables me to bring scientific rigour to the coaching process.

I also design and deliver group mentoring and well-being programmes for undergraduates.

What my clients say:

- Tanja - Regulatory Affairs Manager
For over six years, I have the privilege of working with Ruth as my coach, and every session continues to be a transformative experience. Ruth brings deep and genuine compassion, clarity, and a remarkable ability to listen with intention, asking the tough questions – the one that truly matter – at just the right moment.

She has the exceptional ability to adapt the protocol or technique used during the sessions when needed, always considering my needs and my choices. After each session, I notice meaningful changes and improvements.

Thanks to Ruth, I’ve learned to identify my triggers, to respond to my inner critic with compassion and self-love, and most importantly, I’ve built my personal toolbox that empowers me over these six years - starting with intensive and condensed sessions, followed by refreshers whenever needed. I now move trough my private and professional life with greater confidence and deep sense of self-love.

Regardless of the type of changes you wish to initiate in your life, I warmly and wholeheartedly recommend Ruth. She has not only supported me in my journey, but has also been an insightful, supportive and a game-changer for several of my loved ones and close friends.

- Daniela - Environmental Consultant
I worked with Ruth in 2024 and found the experience very valuable. I struggle with low self-esteem and self -worth. Ruth is kind, compassionate, and a truly attentive listener. Ruth approaches each session with care and thoughtful preparation, creating a supportive space for growth.

What stood out most was her genuine commitment to my well-being—she truly works with you, not just for you. I felt seen, heard, and supported throughout our work together.

I highly recommend Ruth to anyone seeking a coach who brings empathy, insight, and dedication to every session.
