“No Panic is truly honoured to have Ruth Cooper-Dickson as a patron and spokesperson for the charity. She has shown so much support for the cause and her honesty and openness about her personal journey with mental health makes her genuinely relatable to our many service users.”

“As sponsor of Markel’s Wellbeing pillar, I was delighted when Ruth agreed to deliver a webinar for us, in recognition of World Mental Health Day. “No panic – getting your head around anxiety” leveraged Ruth’s vast personal and professional experience, whilst effortlessly showcasing her incredible presentation skills. The content was perfectly pitched and delivered with Ruth’s trademark compassion, authenticity and sensitive humour. I left the presentation feeling educated, uplifted and empowered. Simply wonderful!”.

"Ruth is a sharp and shrewd individual who deeply cares about the work she does. I would argue what Ruth doesn’t know about mental health probably isn’t worth knowing."

"I am extremely grateful to the fantastic Ruth Cooper-Dickson for providing her webinar on ‘You and Your Mental health’ to over 200 virtual attendees through WeAreVirtual series, our new initiative to pay it forward and support the ongoing development of communities who are working from home due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus."

"This course was hands-down the best thing I did this year. Ruth was an amazing instructor, she was funny, knowledgeable, engaging, and most importantly caring. She made sure that everyone in the room felt comfortable and reassured. The course material was also great, it exceeded my expectations. It was interesting, relevant and engaging throughout. I gained so much valuable knowledge in just two days and am keen to apply it in real-life scenarios. I would 100% recommend this course to everyone, it is one of the best ways we can break the stigma surrounding mental health."

"I absolutely loved it. She is so good at asking the right questions, so it feels like the solution comes from you, which I suppose it does. It's really like she's able to unlock parts of your brain/mind that you don't even know exist. She is so friendly, non-judgemental, accepting and funny. She really put me at my ease and was very relatable."

"Ruth creates such a safe and inspiring space that it's impossible not to feel really held and completely able to relax. The combination of music choices and Ruth's gentle guidance allowed me to just breathe and make space for what needed to come up. I left feeling calmer and more centred than I have done in a long time. It was a gift to myself and I'm so grateful to Ruth for sharing her power with me."

"Ruth is an excellent coach because she is really good at asking the right questions and listening in a way that makes you feel understood. She has a wealth of experience to give you relevant information, reflections and guidance that help you to see things from a different perspective. Anyone feeling stuck or needing guidance from a coach with ample experience can trust Ruth to provide the necessary guidance."

"From the get go I warmed to Ruth as a person as she has this incredible ability to put you at ease. Her experience as a coach and emotional intelligence meant she was able to make sense of what I was feeling and normalise my emotions, which was a huge comfort to me. I really can't thank Ruth enough - she really has brought me back to life."
