“Rachel is a fantastic coach. she has a natural ability to gently guide you to the answers you're looking for… she has helped me to manage my team more effectively and with confidence thus increasing not only the productivity of the team but also very importantly staff morale. On a personal note, she has also used her coaching skills, of which they are many, to increase my own motivation and help me move me from feeling stuck and constrained to empowered and inspired!”

“I really enjoy my sessions with Rachel as she asks questions that help me think of and talk about solutions that I would not have thought of so easily on my own. She is a great listener and I feel I'm in a safe space to explore my thoughts and ideas. I come out of a session feeling like I can actually take action to move forward rather than procrastinating or just thinking superficially about an issue or idea.”

“I had a problem that had become significant in my life. I was going around in circles, unable to either find an answer or let it go. In an hour, Rachel helped me to gain clarity. It was as though a weight had been lifted off me. By the next day I realised I had moved on completely. I absolutely recommend working with Rachel, and trust she will guide you where you need to go.”

“Rachel really helped me gain clarity, by asking thought provoking questions, taking me to the heart of the matter. I could trust her and when I felt emotional she held the space and waited for me. Rachel chose appropriate techniques to help me move forward and make decisions."

“Rachel brings an amazing personal touch to her coaching, not only was she always ready with just the right question, or tool to enable me to work through any particular challenge, but she also exudes a powerful mix of quiet, calm confidence and gentle encouragement. She also dropped in the perfect amount of challenge to take me to just the right level of discomfort and therefore the most powerful breakthroughs!

In our time together we covered so much ground, so if you are ever worried about value for money, please don't let that stop you from starting coaching! In just six weeks we explored so many topics, some were very immediate, addressing challenges I was experiencing that
week and some were core topics including values and leadership styles.

I highly recommend Rachel. My time with her was inspiring, energising and super helpful. She will definitely be my first phone call next time I want coaching!“

I was new to coaching and was curious about the process and what I would learn from it. I found my sessions with Rachel very helpful on a number of levels:

• Having and making the space to talk about work related issues with someone outside my organisation in confidence was really useful, as I don't have a network of peers beyond the community I work in, and I don't often talk about work in depth with my partner and family, I found it valuable to have the 'luxury' of this time to reflect.
• The coaching reinforced to me, how happy I am in my role and how rewarding I find my work, as I plan to retire in the next 5-7 years, I feel a sense of satisfaction that I have reached this point in my working life with no regrets, which until this coaching I had never thought about; although we did not talk about it, the coaching has started me thinking about how I want to spend my retirement.
• I found Rachel's approach supportive and encouraging, she was skilled at challenging me to identify the tangible steps I needed to take to resolve the issues I raised, so rather than just talk about issues, we explored the practicalities of sorting them out; there was one particular issue that had me quite emotionally exercised, talking it through with Rachel helped me to put the issues in perspective, take control of the situation and move forward positively.

My first experience of coaching with Rachel, was very positive and I would definitely have it again in the future to guide my retirement or help me think through how to approach a difficult situation."
