Experience the Transformation: Real Stories of Personal and Professional Growth Fostered by Rachael's Unique, Tailored Coaching Approach
"I couldn't unsee it - and that changed everything."
I'd invested in coaching before and found it intellectually interesting but hard to translate into real change. With my husband recently becoming a stay-at-home dad, this needed to deliver tangible impact quickly - not just good conversations.
Since returning to work after having children, my confidence had been quietly eroding. I was hiding, letting others take the credit, avoiding visible leadership - and I'd reached the point where I had to make a deliberate choice: keep drifting toward invisibility, or step forward and reclaim my authority before it became irreversible.
Very early on, Rachael spotted something no previous coach had: I was giving my power away before I'd even started - opening every communication with an apology, undermining myself in the first line. Once she named it, I couldn't unsee it. Removing that single habit immediately changed how I showed up.
From that one shift, everything followed. I hesitate less, apologise less, and assume I'm empowered to act. I get things done faster, communicate with more clarity, and make decisions with genuine confidence. I now wake up on Monday with a sense of agency rather than anxiety - the power feels like mine.
What sets Rachael apart is the combination of uncanny intuition and rigorous, evidence-based thinking. She reads people - through language, body language, behaviour - with remarkable speed and accuracy, and translates what she sees into frameworks you can use immediately.
Of all the coaches I've worked with, she's the first to meaningfully bridge insight and action.

"I quit my job - and that was the win."
My biggest hesitation was cost, but what I couldn't afford was staying where I was.
I was going backwards at work, feeling defeated, and so low that I was just grateful to still have a job - let alone push for more.
Working with Rachael gave me the tools to have the hard conversations I'd been avoiding, and to see my situation in a completely different light.
The result? I handed in my notice.
Not because I ran away from the problem, but because I finally felt good enough to go towards something better. Four months ago I couldn't have even considered applying for another role.
I'm leaving with my head held high and real excitement about what's next - which is a very different feeling from the person who showed up completely lost.
Rachael's superpower is making you feel genuinely heard, then asking exactly the right question to shift how you see yourself.
If you're on the fence, get off it.

"She helped me rewire the way I was thinking."
I first worked with Rachael about ten years ago, recommended by a close friend who'd experienced her work firsthand. At the time I was overwhelmed - with life, with work - and had been on and off antidepressants for a couple of years.
I knew I had unresolved issues, but I couldn't find my way into them.
Rachael helped me do that.
Over roughly three years, what struck me most was how skilled she is at knowing which approach to use and when. Sessions were never the same twice - fluid rather than formulaic - and that variety made each one genuinely useful. Nothing felt rigid or prescribed.
The change was gradual, but real.
She helped me re-examine the beliefs I'd been carrying and rebuild how I approached challenges.
Now I'm far more pragmatic and calm when difficulties arise - and a lot of that is directly down to the work I did with Rachael.
I would massively recommend her. She brings a wealth of experience, exceptional warmth, and a rare ability to meet you exactly where you are.
Becky, Media Director
The work I did with Rachael as an executive coach over many years created profound shifts for me, particularly in my professional life, but also personally.
She helped me identify and release limiting beliefs I'd been operating from for years, expanding my sense of what was possible and strengthening my confidence from the inside out. I gained clarity on my strengths and leadership presence in a way that felt both affirming and stretching.
As a result of working with her, I began speaking in rooms I previously wouldn’t have stepped into. My focus shifted from the confines of role and title to the real goal, bringing people with me, articulating a clear vision, and helping others see what I could see. This changed how I influenced, communicated, and led.
The impact also extended beyond work. I became more aware of how I create space for others to grow, noticing when to guide, when to step back, and how to support development without constraining it. This awareness has meaningfully changed how I show up in my closest relationships.
In a relatively short period of time, I was able to step into a broader, more senior role at work. I felt more grounded, more capable, and more confident in how I showed up and made decisions.
The work revealed strengths and potential that were there and available but not fully visible to me. It’s been truly transformational.

Rachael has been with me every step of the way on a challenging but wonderful journey of acceptance. For the past two years, she’s helped me transform from fragile, confused and overall lost to my true self.
Rachael has held my hand literally and figuratively, as I’ve become lighter, more awake, more assured, and more at peace.
I’ve also achieved two promotions in the time I’ve worked with Rachael.
I’m blessed to have found such an excellent practitioner of change.

When I first started working with Rachael, I was burnt out and suffering with IBS. A year later I am symptom-free and have a completely new relationship with my body and stress. I’ve lost over 16 kg and gained a sense of loving body acceptance and a healthy mindset which I contribute directly to our work together.
Rachael is kind, committed and direct in her approach. She has a huge variety of tools and techniques which she adapted to suit my specific needs and challenges.
I would recommend her to absolutely everyone. Particularly if you are suffering from stress, burnout, overwhelm or grief. What I appreciated most was her holistic approach, working on the mind-body connection to help me see a new perspective.
I’ve got more out of one session with her than a month of talking therapy.
Ms MC, Training & Development Lead
Having first started working with Rachael in 2019, my intention was to explore my potential. I felt limited, unable to reach my potential in my career and was looking for a step change. What I gained is a transformation of my career beyond my expectations, as well as addressing personal challenges along the way.
Coaching with Rachael encouraged me to reflect upon my core values, congruency in my actions and busted deep-seated limiting beliefs. I am naturally a deep thinker and do reflect and spend time on self discovery.
Rachael exponentially, elevated and supercharged this objectivity, helping me to see new solutions to navigate challenges.
Rachael’s work is very intuitive, compassionate, and empathic, while she simultaneously encourages as well as challenges.
Mrs E, Professional Services
Before starting coaching with Rachael, I definitely had hesitations. The cost was one question: was it really worth the investment? But more than that, I wondered whether meaningful change was actually possible. Old habits die hard, and I wasn’t sure how much I could realistically shift ingrained ways of thinking and working. I can say now, without hesitation, that it was absolutely worth it.
I’ve always been quite strategic about my career. I see work as a two-way relationship: contributing expertise while gaining growth, reputation, and opportunity in return. I’ve never felt “stuck” as such, but I was very aware that to continue progressing, I needed to refine how I approached problems, people, and influence, not just what I delivered.
One of the most impactful aspects of working with Rachael was her ability to help me step back and see the bigger picture. Her way of breaking down complex problems, prioritising stakeholders, and analysing competing needs gave me practical tools I now use regularly. It shifted how I think about challenges, from reacting to them, to structuring them in a way that leads to clearer, more confident decisions.
The results have been tangible. I’ve seen wider engagement across the business with initiatives I lead, and I feel more confident in my approach while also being more attuned to the needs and perspectives of others. That balance, confidence without losing sensitivity, has been a meaningful change for me.
On a more personal level, I feel a stronger sense of direction and purpose, particularly when it comes to balancing work and life. Monday mornings feel different now: more intentional, more grounded, and less reactive.
Rachael’s real strength lies in her ability to listen deeply, distil what truly matters, and work through multiple competing strands with patience and clarity. She brings warmth and genuine joy to the process, and her desire to help and serve others is very clear, it creates a space where growth feels both supported and challenging in the right way.
If I were speaking to someone who was on the fence about hiring Rachael, I’d simply say this: you won’t regret it. It’s an investment in yourself. Give the best version of you the chance to grow, with the right support, it’s more possible than you might think.

Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
In a single session, Rachael found a thread running silently through my entire life - a thread I couldn’t see for myself.
That moment stayed with me for months.
It was the beginning of the unraveling of years of hiding, shame, and patterns I had never fully connected before.
I can now see how that thread had woven its way through decades of depression, intimate relationships I withdrew from, opportunities I was too afraid to pursue, and so many moments where I unconsciously kept myself hidden.
That one thread - once revealed - not only changed how I understood my entire past, it changed what became possible for my future.
