Creating healthier, happier minds, lives, and education organisations.

The 8Wise® Method is a psychologically grounded framework for managing life wisely, supporting psychological wellbeing through life’s challenges, transitions, and adversity by offering insight, structure, and a whole-life approach to modern life. At 8Wise®, we believe everyone deserves access to practical tools that support better mental health and wellbeing. Our unique 8Wise® Method helps people, leaders, and educators build optimal wellbeing across eight interconnected dimensions of life: Emotional, Physical, Spiritual, Intellectual, Social, Environmental, Occupational, and Financial. Created by Psychotherapist, Author and Wellbeing Consultant Kim Rutherford, 8Wise® bridges the gap between mental health awareness and real-world action, helping you understand yourself, manage stress, build resilience, and live a healthier, happier life. Through our books, courses, podcast, and training, and our education programme 8WiseED®, we’re helping individuals and organisations make mental health a daily practice, not just a policy. Whether you want to strengthen your own wellbeing or create a culture of care in your school, workplace, or community, 8Wise® gives you the blueprint to make it happen. Because optimal mental health and wellbeing can be learned, built, and lived. Delivered in partnership with Dalton Wise Consultancy Ltd, specialists in wellbeing strategy, training, and leadership development across the education and workplace sectors.

Our Story

Learning to manage your mental health, is a lot like learning to mange your bathtub - you need to make sure it doesn't all over flow and cause additional mess in other areas of your life. My name is Kim, I have had my own mental health struggles, and in my role as a coach and therapist, and through my business, I support you to mange your stress bathtub, and all the issues it creates: Anxiety, Burnout, Career transition, Depression, Panic Attacks, Phobias, Relaxation, Self Esteem, Self-Defeating Behaviours, Wellness, Work-Life Balance, Work related stress, Work performance and productivity No matter who you are, or where you are in your life, stress can come at you in an abundance, from all directions; home, work, kids, colleagues, friends, family, strangers, social media, etc.

It's very easy for your bathtub to over flow, so together we; 1. identify where the stress is coming from (triggers) 2. develop effective ways to release and problem solve the stress and related issues (tools) 3. develop a solution focussed plan to prevent anything escalating further (mental health) 4. put you back in control of your mental health and mental capacity This working approach will lead you to reduced stress and anxiety, improved wellness and wellbeing and prevent long term mental and physical health issues from occurring. I’m a scouse-bumpkin, which means I am approachable, practical, straight talking and have a sense of humour. This linked to my experience as a counsellor, therapist, leadership coach, hypnotherapist, senior manager and trainer, ensures I will support you to tackle yesterday's issues, today's problems and tomorrow's stresses effectively, using and integrative therapeutic approach alongside my unique 8 Wise model. I guarantee a safe, empathetic, non judgemental and confidential environment, either at my office, or virtually via Zoom or FaceTime.
