With an expertise in trauma, additional needs and challenging behaviour, Wonderful Me! mentoring offers an opportunity to explore how we can bring safe approaches and create safe spaces in our churches that enable every child to feel safe, seen, heard and valued. And of course, if we are going to care well for the children we are journeying with, we also need to care well for ourselves. Wonderful Me! Living Well coaching is all about creating space to explore wellbeing with Jesus at the centre and to reflect on what that might look like for you.

Ruth provides bespoke coaching and mentoring sessions designed to enable individuals and teams (predominantly within a church context) to grow in their potential. With experience in youth and children's ministry, leadership development and personal growth, Ruth offers tailored sessions that help you to discern God's leading, explore goals, identify obstacles, and develop actionable strategies, all in an encouraging environment.

I support, train and mentor Christian youth workers, having been a youth worker for 30 years. My aim is to listen and help you find your way forward. We can explore your outer journeys, how to find the skills, attitudes and approaches to Christian youth work. We can also explore your inner journeys, how youth work affects your faith, values and emotions.

Want to broaden your perspective and become more confident in your gifting and ministry? In our one-to-one mentoring sessions you'll glean insight and guidance from Andy's wealth of ministry experience. How does it work? When you reach out to us, we'll talk about your goals and how personal mentoring can help you in your role and ministry. Then, we'll set up a meeting rhythm that works - whether digitally or in person. Whether you're leading a church, a charity, or some other ministry team, you're sure to benefit from an external, experienced voice coming alongside you.

After 18 years as a youth worker, I realised that the thing I loved most was seeing people think and grow and work out what they needed. I trained as a coach and have been formally working as a coach for the last 10 years. Most of the work I do is within a church setting - but I'm equally happy in other spaces - health service, education and corporate. I'm friendly, listen deeply and offer challenge and support as you work our your next step.
