Testimonials:

I would highly recommend working with Kim in any capacity possible. I undertook 8 Wise coaching sessions during the lockdown period and her guidance, support and advice was one of the main reasons I got through it unscathed! Kim's approach made me feel instantly comfortable and relaxed. Her 8 Wise approach really helped me explore all parts of my life, it helped me realise the work I needed on the different areas. I am well on my way after my sessions, motivated, focused and feeling closer to healing some old wounds I'd buried deep. Thank you Kim forever grateful!

Embarking on a new career in a new sector could be a daunting prospect. However, Kim’s support and 8 Wise guidance helped me to thrive in my new role and managing an extremely stressful transition tackling any obstacles head-on. Through Kim's 8 Wise coaching, I began to think more strategically, both about my own career and my life as a whole. I was able to map my personal development towards achieving career objectives and my life milestones. As a result, I felt (for the first time) that I had full ownership of my goals and my wellness and wellbeing.

As a manager I was struggling a lot with work stress, the support I received from Kim through her 8 Wise model was entirely holistic, which was a breath of fresh air within my corporate setting. Although there was a focus on personal development, Kim was always open to coaching me through more personal aspects of my professional and personal life with the 8 Wise model. I felt wholly confident in discussing any issues with Kim, safe in the knowledge that I was firmly in control of the process and the path I chose to take. I would recommend Kim and her 8 Wise approach for any career, business or personal blockers you may experience. I believe that her support and the 8 Wise guidance played a pivotal role in enabling me to change my life and improve my health.

Kim has helped and supported me to become the confident person I am today. She was my mentor and coach for two years at a time when I was stressed and filled with anxiety due to the difficulty of transitioning from university student to corporate trainee manager. Using the 8 Wise approach I found I was able to resolve my issues in an effective way. It helped me to identify who I am as a person and the strengths I have developed through my own life which I have since been able to use to improve areas of my life. I would definitely recommend Kim and the 8 Wise programme as a way of managing and overcoming stressful situations in life.

I contacted Kim for 8 Wise coaching regarding my mental health, career, personal life and how to move forward positively. I can highly recommend the 8 Wise programme; Kim truly understands where I was coming from and offered really good guidance and thought provoking questions. I have never questioned Kim's ability to empathise and fully understanding my career, aspirations or personal issues regarding family. Her experiences have helped her understand where the client is coming from. I gained a huge amount from my 8 Wise sessions and thoroughly enjoyed them as Kim is personable, with good uplifting humour and spirit - she just gets it!

The 8 Wise programme can be summed up in one world – Amazing! I left each session feeling so positive about my personal future but also as a business owner I left with a renewed self-confidence and self-belief in my own ideas and ability to manage and grow my business effectively. I feel there is structure and guidance in what Kim is providing with 8 Wise for all elements of life and I am ready to go! Thank you, Kim, for your help so far and I look forward to a long working relationship and support for the future.

The 8 Wise programmes did not give me the answers, but rather, it gave me the tools to figure out the answers for myself, something which has had a significant impact on my confidence and ability to make progress within my personal life and my career. Being one of a group of ten people on the 8 Wise programme, I was inspired by how the programme could adapt to each of us depending on our mental health issues, individual work-styles and personalities. Overall, 8 Wise and Kim’s mentoring has made a significant difference in my personal development and I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for her – thanks Kim

Kim is a great counsellor, coach and mentor all in one, so it’s not surprising that the 8 Wise programme changes lives, it certainly did mine. It helped me at a difficult time in my life and I discovered that I was suffering with anxiety attacks alongside my depression and suicidal thoughts, which I hadn’t realised. Using the programme, I worked through various limiting beliefs and unhelpful behaviours of mine which have been transformed so that I now show up as my best self for myself, not just other people. Now I’m creating a life and business that I love, and it’s given me the stability I have longed for, all thanks to 8 Wise.

Wow, the knowledge and experience of Kim is second to none, I got so much out of one initial session that I jumped straight onto the 8 Wise programme and I never looked back. It’s a first class programme that helped me to end a very toxic relationship without the overwhelming guilt I had experienced in the past, and feel like my happy self again

8 Wise is a really great programme which provided me with a lot of new ways of thinking about my wellbeing and mental health. I love the 8 Wise model.
Kim, I was thinking about all of the support and guidance you gave me as I started to review my 8 Wise Transition plan for the second time this year. Thank you for the tools and learnings you have given me through sharing your 8 Wise approach, it really did change my life.

Just had an amazing 8 Wise session with my wonderful therapist Kim Rutherford of Dalton Wise. She listens, understands and provides you with the 8 Wise tools to help find the solutions and prevent things getting too much, so I can maintain a healthy mind. As someone who has experienced counselling many times in my life, I can say without doubt that 8 Wise is a strong tool that I wish more therapists would use as it has brought me back to myself. My 8 Wise sessions each month are the same as paying for my hair, my nails or gym membership. They make me feel great and keep me on track. With 8 Wise I have learnt not to let the little things become the big things, and it makes me feel back in control of my mental health.

Sitting and simply having a chat with Kim about the 8 Wise programme has given me clarity in not only what I want out of life but a better understanding of how to achieve it.   Balance is the key, and the unique 8 Wise model is a great way of really visualising all the important aspects of my life that affect my wellbeing. I genuinely look forward to every meeting.
