“We started our sessions over zoom and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of 2020 so far for me. Rachel is a great listener who I felt from the moment I met her had my best interests at heart. The sessions have been an invaluable tool in allowing me to look at myself consciously and without judgement. Through a value exercise I was able to learn what was most important to me and prioritise these values in all aspects of my life, which is assisting me in living a more fulfilled and meaningful life. Since our sessions I have started my own business, set a long-term goal for my career and life and started to take charge of all the important relationships in my life. I have learned to be kinder to myself and now see the value in journaling. For me I see coaching as an ongoing exercise and I’m sure Rachel and I will have more sessions in the future. Thank you, Rachel.”

“It was a moment of serendipity when I met Rachel.  In the last month I have been allowed to dig deep and bring forward inner peace, direction and confidence (on both a personal and professional basis) that I only dreamed of being possible.  I’d say to my two girls, the world is your oyster and, for the first time, I really feel the same applies to me.  This is all thanks to Rachel and her kind, natural and warm personality.  My time with her is thought provoking, she has a knack of bringing my thoughts to the forefront of my mind in the most organic and geniune way.  It’s just incredible and so is she.”

“Rachel started coaching me in 2017 and immediately distinguished herself from other coaches I have worked with over the years. She took the time to listen and observe me in conversation and in my workplace, identifying character traits and habits that we then explored in more detail to drive improvements in my self awareness and my performance. She has a great blend of professional skills and a very calming and reassuring manner and is a true pleasure to work with.”

“Earlier this year I was at a point in my life and career where I didn’t know up from down. So many things had happened since February 2020 and I’d been unable to get any focus for the future.

I decided I needed to work with a life coach and began an online search. Something about Rachel’s statements on her webpage appealed to me more than coaches in my area. Although I live in Leeds and Rachel is in Edinburgh, we were in the middle of lockdown, everything was happening by phone or zoom and I thought “what the heck, it doesn’t matter where we are in the world these days”, so I contacted her.  In the space of a few coaching sessions Rachel helped me pull my thoughts together and begin to think about what direction my career could take. She listened and challenged me (at my request) on some things that I couldn’t get past, or was reluctant to view from a different angle.  I looked forward to each session because I would be energised and full of enthusiasm after each one.  Rachel is a very easy person to talk to and it felt like I was talking to a friend who really had my interests at heart. With her help and guidance I now have a definite focus and can see the directions I need to take.”

“I approached my life coaching sessions with an open mind, extremely willing to talk, to explore ideas and ‘tussel’ with past issues and regrets. Having spent many years practising Reiki and doing self help workshops I fully understood the benefits of facing up to and dealing with negative emotions. Not for one minute did I expect each session to be so mind blowing, often leaving me both emotionally and physically drained, an over whelming cathartic experience, each time!

Left to choose what I wanted to explore, each journey very quickly saw me deviate and revisit old issues, once believed to be put to rest, only to discover that they were just lying dormant.

Under Rachel’s guidance we talked through various topics, learning to view past decisions in a more positive and acceptable way, to understand and accept other’s actions and finally lay to rest hurts and regrets. Never would I have expected prior to starting this journey with Rachel that I would have found this coaching to be so life changing…. I thought I knew and already had the answers to the majority of my issues. Now I see things in a whole new light… and will continue to use what I have learned here. If you are looking to truly change/evolve and move on to another level of your life then under Rachel’s guidance you will find the answers…. within!

Words cannot really say how magical / tearful / loving / supportive / enlightening these sessions have been…. awesome! I’m extremely grateful to have had this opportunity…. Rachel’s  a true angel.”

“Rachel is a rare breed of person who listens intently and without judgement. From the first session, she helped me unlock some of the fears I had about progressing in my career and every conversation we had thereafter was thought provoking. I would highly recommend speaking to Rachel if you are trying to get past a mental block or to help with more self-awareness.

I found her warm and calm manner genuinely caring and unlike some coaches, she seems to really care and stays in touch.
Rachel is someone who I have benefited from seeing and will not hesitate to contact her again in the future.”

“Career coaching is not something I had ever considered or had experience with, so did not know what to expect.  However I am very glad that I decided to contact Rachel.  Right from the first contact Rachel has been very easy to talk with, and I felt we had great rapport even after one conversation.  Before working with Rachel I felt a little lost and overwhelmed about the direction of my career. Rachel is a great listener and skilfully guided the conversations, and challenged me regularly on my thinking. All this whilst allowing me to explore who I am and helped me uncover invaluable insights. Such as my personal values that I align to and also understanding how I like to work as a person. With a shift in mindset I now feel much more positive and focussed about my career going forward, and life in general.

Even though I have only worked with Rachel in a short space of time, I feel we have achieved so much.  Coaching will now be an ongoing process for me and I will certainly be working with Rachel in the future.  If like me you are new to this or are a little sceptical but are looking for some help, then I would recommend you contact Rachel.  I am sure she will be able to help you as she has helped me immensely.  I look forward to having many more light bulb moments in our future sessions!”
