Career coach, coach supervisor & coach mentor
Creative coaching for intentional career crafting
Hi, I’m Rachel
I’m a qualified coach and coaching psychologist on a mission to rid the world of the Sunday Scaries. I want work to be a joyful, satisfying, and pride-inducing experience for everyone.
I work with individuals, groups and coaches to build the work life they want, whatever stage they are at. You might be looking to land your first role, change something about your current one, or switch it up completely. Whatever it is that will make your weekdays as great as your weekends.
I’m the coach for you if you’re looking to identify and intentionally shape your career into one you love. AND feel confident doing it.
What is coaching?
Coaching gives you time and space to explore what’s going on for you and what you want to be different. It’s a conversation geared towards discovering and dealing with the stuff that gets in your way, including your own thoughts, feeling and actions.
You bring the topic. I’ll ask the questions you haven’t thought of yet or challenge you with the ones you don’t want to ask. Together, we’ll get you where you want to go.
Everyone can benefit from coaching; as long as you’re open to it and ready to do the work, coaching is for you.
Working together
You’re unique, and your coaching sessions will be too. We’ll work together to find the approach that enables you to get the most out of your coaching sessions.
We’ll work really well together if…
…you want tools that work. As a coaching psychologist with a background in project delivery, I’ve got a toolbox jam-packed with evidence-based psychological and career models so you can make sense of what’s going on and plan for what you want to come next.
…you’re open to trying new things. I believe creative activities boost reflective learning because they help us think about things in a new way. I’m a big fan of getting things out of your head and onto paper to help you (quite literally) see things differently. I actively encourage playful experimentation both in and between sessions.
…you’re ready to get stuck in. My coaching has been described as being ‘somewhere between a playground and a bootcamp!’ I dig deep to raise awareness of the things you carry into work so you can plan effectively for what you want in your career. Expect an explorative and deep journey with plenty of hard work and fun along the way.
…you want a supportive AND challenging team mate. I’m supportive and caring. I’m curious. I don’t assume and I don’t judge. I cheer loudly when things go well for you. I also don’t sidestep difficult topics. I say what I mean, and I’ll encourage you to do the same. We focus on what’s important to you. Bottom line? I treat you as an equal. We work as a team.
You will…
…choose what you want to focus on
…decide what success is and how to measure it
…do the work
I will…
…challenge you to step outside your comfort zone
…share evidence-based models, tools and techniques
…not tell you what to do
We will…
…be really clear about how we work together
…be flexible and adapt if something isn’t working
…be open with feedback
