I am always intuitive, instinctive and spontaneous in my approach to all the people who come to me for coaching.
The work we do together is not designed to be a quick fix to a problem and then you go back to your life as before. Instead it is designed to ensure you make deep level, sometimes radical, shifts in your perspective - on yourself and life as a whole.
With care and respect and humour I will challenge any negative views you may have of yourself. You will start to know and understand yourself more completely, without judgement or discomfort - and you will grow to love and appreciate yourself - in all shades and moods, and in any situation.
Throughout our time together your life will open up to you more and the world will become a very different place - maybe more complex but definitely more intense and exhilarating with more horizons and potential.
You will realise that you have mastery and agency and purpose and meaning in this life and everything you do will become more joined up and that will allow you see the pattern of your choices and your possibilities more clearly.
I am a specialist in building confidence, eliminating anxiety and phobias, creating strong self esteem and positive self image, and in changing perspectives from negative to positive through all kinds of life change and in response to all kinds of childhood trauma and difficulty.
Building natural inner confidence & self awareness and the ability to harness these more successfully and build in daily routines which enhance this feeling no matter what happens.
Creating flexibility and resilience which leads to more responsive rather than reactive behaviours and brings about a feeling of strength and ability to cope.
Going to the root of the anxiety whilst providing tools, strategies and support which get rid of negative feelings, phobias and destructive behaviours.
Supporting through loss and major life change in order to be able to embrace these events with understanding and gratitude and love - and build upon them fearlessly.
Helping to create deeper self exploration in order to develop greater connection, understanding and inner joy which is natural and self-perpetuating.
Rewriting/reframing perceptions of the past in order to remove old blocks, reactive emotions and behaviours and cuts ties with painful childhood events and residual feelings.
"I can't recommend Rachel highly enough should you, or someone you know, be looking for help to overcome one of the many hurdles that we all have to overcome at various times of our lives, where coaching would make a real difference. I'd had counselling in the past to work through a family bereavement which had had a very negative impact on me and my family, but it had not really resolved any of the issues. And so I got in touch with Rachel to see if she could help me. From the moment we had our first Skype chat, I found Rachel to be extremely professional, very perceptive, as well as always being very empathic to the problems I'd asked her to help me with. I was expecting our sessions to be in person, but to be honest the intensity of my feelings and the nature of the subjects we covered, I found being in my own home and not having to be face to face with Rachel made it easier to go to some very personal and difficult places. All of which Rachel handled with sensitivity and complete understanding. Throughout our sessions I always felt I could trust her completely. It is obvious that Rachel really cares and always goes above and beyond all expectations."
“I am extremely pleased with my decision to go to Rachel for coaching and would have no hesitation in highly recommending her to anyone who is feeling lost or overwhelmed by life.
After struggling with deep issues arising from my childhood, I am now enjoying the fruits of Rachel's coaching and feeling a level of happiness that eluded me for many years and I will continue to use Rachel's ideas and advice daily from now on to improve my quality of life.
Rachel's support goes beyond the sessions we had and I feel secure in the knowledge that she genuinely cares about what she does and the people she coaches.
Brilliant, just brilliant!”
"Rachel has amazing insight and such a uniquely intuitive way of working with people! If you're looking for coaching that will really make you 'shift', I really cannot recommend her highly enough.
The Story of You programme is vastly different from any other type of coaching I've done before - it's much more creative and experiential. And because it works at a much deeper level, this is by far the most powerful coaching I've ever had.
Rachel created just the right balance of challenge and support and she instinctively knew how to 'uncover' underlying issues from my past that needed addressing before I could work on things in my present.
Coaching I've had in the past had left me feeling that something had been missed but with Rachel I knew we worked on things that had never been addressed before and I finished our programme knowing they had been fully resolved."
"I went to Rachel to try and get help for a longstanding phobia which was getting worse and starting to negatively impact on my family. It was a massive relief to talk to someone so completely empathetic who allowed me the time and space to work through and let go of issues that I didn’t even realise I was clinging on to so tightly! Not only did the coaching with Rachel completely get rid of my phobia, the process has given me a deeper understanding of myself, together with the tools I need to make sure that I can continue to keep moving forward. The coaching has helped so much that family and friends have noticed the change in me – I feel lighter, smile more readily and I am much more confident in myself and about life in general. I’m incredibly grateful for the support, guidance, encouragement and reassurance that Rachel has provided from the very outset. I was very sceptical about coaching before this - and Rachel has managed to make me a complete convert!”
"Rachel is a great coach and I highly recommend her.
She thinks deeply about how she can help each individual and I’ve found all my interactions with her extremely rewarding.
I especially loved Rachel's workshop series, 'The Gift of Time' where I was able to meet and share ideas with an amazing group of individuals.
In each session, the content was so engaging and thought provoking that it truly enabled us to share ideas and really learn from each other.
One of the outstanding things about Rachel is that you know she knows what’s she’s doing, you trust her and she really cares about helping and making a difference."
"Working with Rachel is both inspiring and a real pleasure.
She has an uncanny knack for zooming into the heart of an issue and is not shy of challenging you to unpick unhelpful thinking patterns and habits. Yet she does this with a rare combination of warmth and humour, alongside a huge amount of expertise.
As a result, Rachel has helped me to move quickly from a point of fear, frustration and anxiety to a place of calm and understanding of myself. Along with clear goals and tools for how to achieve them.
With her guidance, I have been able finally to re-write my negative internal narratives and also look at the world through new eyes. And instead of feeling stuck, I'm now excited about the next chapter of my life."
