Testimonials
“I feel incredibly fortunate that Rachel kindly agreed to work with me in a coaching context and I have very much enjoyed our time and conversations together thus far. Having previously experienced a more traditional style of coaching which has left me with a head full of unanswered questions and emotional turmoil, this approach to coaching has been a breath of fresh air.
Rachel has a friendly, open and comfortable style which makes you feel at ease and open to the experience. Rachel knows when to challenge, when to give positive reinforcement, when to offer advice and when to listen.
Sharing sometimes sensitive and emotional life experiences with someone can be difficult and challenging, but Rachel’s willingness to be open herself, her naturally empathic personality, non-judgemental attitude and excellent listening skills have been very helpful in providing a conducive, trusted-centred and safe environment.
There were certainly some moments of realisation for me. For instance, our conversations made me realise how lucky I was in certain aspects of my life and although in some ways I have never lost touch with this, my senses were heightened to some very specific and fundamental things that really do bring me joy and happiness that I don’t tend to focus on too often. This definitely helped to raise my state of well-being.
Our conversations have also been beneficial in getting me to look at things in a different way, break-down complexity and push myself outside of my comfort zone in certain situations. All of which have had a positive impact in one way or another.”
“I have decided to give my new business a go. I think it is better to get on and do something I know is aligned to what I enjoy.”
“Rachel was recommended to me at a very challenging time in my career. The economy was declining and my work opportunities were decreased and I was doubting my career choice. Rachel encouraged me to explore why I was feeling like this and what I wanted to achieve in my career. As a result, I discovered I am doing what I love, but it is challenging right now and gave me strategies to cope and regain my inspiration.
Rachel was great at adapting to suit my style, giving me options and different exercises to gain the understanding I needed. The coaching was tailored to me to give me the best outcomes, but also made the sessions more enjoyable even when the content was difficult.”
“Flippin heck I’ve only gone and taken a massive leap, sprung into action and enrolled! Rachel what have you done to me???”
“Rachel has supported me in exploring and gaining clarity on my business purpose, ambitions, and the steps to make them happen. She guided me through the transition from a permanent leadership role to running my own business, helping me step out of my comfort zone, navigate first-time experiences and finding my new leadership identity. She has helped me reflect on and act against limiting self-beliefs and imposter syndrome, removing deep-rooted blockers. Additionally, Rachel has supported my healing process following my departure from my previous organization, helping me reconnect with what matters most and leverage my strengths.
Rachel is an incredibly humble and credible executive coach who challenges thinking with compassion and elegance, opening new horizons for her coachees. She builds rapport and trust quickly, allowing coachees to be vulnerable, open, and honest with themselves. Her positive, warm, and caring energy is contagious, providing reassurance and confidence.”
“You have helped me to see it’s possible to create safety in myself and I didn’t think this was possible. Thank you so much Rachel.”
“Working with Rachel as my career coach has been transformative. She supported me through a complex career transition while I was still leading a large project in my previous role and helping my old team recover after several key departures. Rachel’s calm, insightful guidance enabled me to manage both worlds with clarity and confidence.
Her coaching helped me uncover the deeper, values-based career path and side business I truly want to build—moving beyond a purely performance-driven mindset. She guided me to see how old experiences shaped some of my current challenges and taught me to respond from the present moment, not past emotions.
Rachel is exceptionally empathetic and practical. She helped me articulate my personal value base, bridge differences with others, and develop powerful techniques to release unhelpful energy, maintain strong boundaries, and build lasting self-belief.
Thanks to her insight and steady support, I now have a clear vision, renewed confidence, and tangible strategies for my next chapter. I wholeheartedly recommend Rachel to anyone seeking a thoughtful, results-oriented career coach.
I look forward to working with Rachel again when I take the next step of launching my dream business. Her insight and support will undoubtedly be key to that exciting new chapter.”
