Kim Rutherford

About me

Thank you for taking the time to review my profile.

My name is Kim and after a car crash in 2014 I decided to leave my senior level role in the corporate world behind, and set up my own coaching and therapy practice, working with people to find the solution to problems they may have in their lives.

I am a qualified coach and therapist, and had been working as a professional coach and trainer internationally for over 20 years.  I support people to overcome challenges in their lives through a person-centred, blended coaching and therapy process.  This approach ensure you remain in control and we work together at a pace that suits you and focus on the issues you want to work on.

My specialism as a coach and therapist is to reduce stress, anxiety and depression with the aim of preventing longer term mental health issues from developing.  I want to help you have a more fulfilling and happier life by supporting you to overcome the problems and challenges that might be currently stopping you from having that.  The only way that can happen is if we work together towards the same goal in an environment that is comfortable for you, so I provide a range of options for you to access coaching and therapy with me;

• Face to Face: sessions can take place in my coaching and therapy space in Liverpool city centre, at my therapy space in L18 or in a public venue of your choice, i.e. café, park, library etc
• Virtual: sessions take place from the comfort of your own home via Telephone, Email or Skype:
• Outreach: sessions take place face to face in your own home (South Liverpool area only - L16, L17, L18 and L19)

I can provide you with a  FREE 'No Obligation' 30-minute consultation, for us to get to know each other and for you to identify if and where I can help you.

I can help you find the solutions to problems relating to Mental Health, Wellness, Negative Thoughts, Negative Behaviours, Low Self-Esteem, Low Confidence,  Low Motivation, Low Morale, Stress, Anxiety, Depression and Low Personal/Professional Performance and Productivity.

I know it can be scary starting a coaching or therapy journey, so I have provided more information below.  If you would like to book in for your free consultation, please get in touch or check out my webpage: wwww.daltonwise.co.uk

I hope to see you soon.

Q: What other services do you provide?

• Counselling/CBT: Counselling is usually a short-term process that provides you with an opportunity to talk about your issues, with the aim of working through them to find a solution
• Hypnotherapy: Utilises the power of positive suggestion to bring about subconscious change to your thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Hypnotherapy can help you gain control over issues such as anxiety, pain and undesired behaviours and thought processes, as the positive suggestion can build confidence and 'teach'? your brain new beliefs and behaviours that allow you to make the change you want in your life to achieve your personal or professional goals
• Relaxation Therapy: Relaxation therapy techniques calm the body and provide a natural cure for anxiety by inducing the relaxation response - the opposite of the body's stress response.

Q: What to expect after contacting you?

On receiving your enquiry, I offer all clients a Free, No Obligation 30-minute Consultation, before setting up anything formally.  This is an informal chat where we get to know each other better, identify the main areas you would like to set goals for and identify how best to provide you with the support you require.  If after the consultation you choose to move forward with us working together we can make arrangements that suit you, whether that be face-to-face, telephone, email, Skype or even face time.

Q: What to expect during my Coaching sessions?

• The 3-step process: The Coaching sessions break down into a 3-step process: 1. Set Goals and Action plan, 2. Review Goals and Action plan and 3. Achieve Goals
• Open discussion: This process provides an opportunity for you to talk freely about your issues, identify the Goals you would like to focus on, and set realistic tasks and timelines to meet them
• Session One: In our first session together, we will spend some time identifying the realistic short-term and long-term goals you would like to focus on, and we will identify the first steps to reaching them.  After the session I will provide you with a Coaching plan, this document becomes our working document, and I will email it to you after each session, so you always have a copy to be working from.  It will provide a summary of the core topics we discussed and the agreed tasks and deadlines we set
• Following sessions: We will then start each following Coaching session reviewing the previous tasks and goals and moving forward from them. We will review the Coaching plan, discuss any accomplishments, achievements and challenges and then set the next set of priorities as clear actions.
