The options
Tailored 6-12 month coaching packages
We will together create the coaching programme that is right for you and your goals to overcome:
- hidden confusion of success that feels empty
- fear of being 'found out'
- high capability but sudden lack of clarity
- identity disorientation
- emotional exhaustion from holding it all together
To rebuild your ability to move through your professional life without constantly doubting yourself or fearing collapse. To regain self-trust, personal agency, and inner steadiness regardless of circumstances.
To confidently navigate whatever is happening, and whatever may come next.
Intensive 1:1 4 hour deep dive
Sometimes in our worklife we do not have the luxury of time. An urgent decision needs to be made. This 'intensive' option allows us to explore wide, delve deep, and narrow down to uncover what is needed to make the best decision possible given the time restraints.
We would typically start at 10am until 12:30/1pm, before taking an hour for lunch (not included in the time). We then return at 1:30/2pm to finish at 3pm.
Please note that this level of increasing awareness and utilising emotions to heighten understanding, whilst being very effective in removing limiting barriers and identifying choices and actions, is psychologically intensive.
Please email me to arrange a 30 minute free conversation for us to assess if this is the right choice for you.
Professional identity transitions can often arise during leadership change, career crossroads, burnout, or organisational shifts. My six-month Reground & Rebuild process supports individuals navigating these transitions with clarity and stability.

Testimonials
“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!”
- CB (Head of Sales & Customer Experience)
“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!“

The research
Organisational and leadership benefits
Mcgovern, et al., 2001. Maximizing the impact of executive coaching : behavioral change, organizational outcomes and return on investment. The Manchester Review, 6(1), pp.1–9. 100 executives from 56 organisations partook in 6-12 months coaching programs. Business improvements identified as both tangible (productivity, quality, organisational strength and customer service) and intangible (improved relationships with direct reports, peers and stakeholders, as well as improved teamwork, increased job satisfaction and reduced conflict). Reporting on return on investment, improvements were seen to employee retention, productivity, increased responsiveness of staff, improved relationships leading to better performance, and 75% (participants and stakeholders) indicated that the value of coaching was considerably or far greater than the money and time invested.
Passarelli., 2015. Vision-based coaching: Optimizing resources for leader development. Frontiers in Psychology, 6(MAR), pp.1–14. This was a review of the evidence of executive coaching to date concluding that so far it showed increased leader self-efficacy, increased satisfaction and commitment, fosters stronger relationships and personal development, and facilitates work family integration. "Activation of a positive psychophysiological state that optimizes affective, cognitive, and neurobiological functioning for development. These resources fuel ongoing developmental efforts that endure the test of time, benefiting both the leaders being coached and their organizations."
Theeboom, Beersma, and van Vianen., 2014. Does coaching work? A meta-analysis on the effects of coaching on individual level outcomes in an organizational context. Journal of Positive Psychology, [online] 9(1), pp.1–18. This was a meta-analysis of 18 other studies. They reported that the results indicate that coaching interventions have significant positive effects on all outcome categories: performance and skills , well-being, coping, work attitudes, and goal-directed self-regulation.
