Professional Development Coaching

Coaching is a powerful way to invest in your own professional growth.

I offer a listening space:

a chance for you to step back from the day to day,
support to untangle your thoughts and ideas,
frameworks to reassess your direction, and
gentle challenge for you to gain clarity and a way forward.

About Rachel.

I am an independent consultant working with charities in the international development/global solidarity sector. Before setting up my own consultancy company in 2013, I was in a leadership position for several years in an international development NGO. Like most people working in the charitable sector, I am strongly values driven and aligned to social justice principles.

A passion for supporting individuals on their professional journeys of management and leadership led me to coaching and mentoring. At the beginning of 2026 I became an accredited coach, having completed a year-long programme of study and practice.

I am also a mum to three grown up daughters, a sailor, and an outdoor synchronised swimmer!

About You.

A coaching session is your space to explore the changes you'd like to see. I will support you to clarify your goals and develop new pathways to achieve them.

To give you more of an idea of what to expect, these are some examples of issues that coachees bring:

Reflecting on your next professional development steps in the face of rapid change
Reconnecting with your values to bring clarity in decision making
Bringing your authentic self to your leadership practice
Taking charge of a career pathway that is meaningful to you
Unsticking a difficult workplace problem
Finding a route to manage unrealistic expectations from others at work

I specialise in the not-for-profit sector. This is a challenging environment to work in at the moment. Through coaching I aim to contribute time and space for you to reenergise, take stock or strategise for the future.

Please see below for testimonials from my previous coachees.

“Working with Rachel over six executive‑coaching sessions has been a significant catalyst for my growth. Through her skillful use of metaphors and a compassionate, inquiry‑driven style, I moved from feeling constantly “busy” to operating with a clear, positive mindset. Rachel helped me articulate my strategic direction, re‑frame limiting beliefs, and set concrete, well‑formed outcomes for my new business venture. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone seeking purposeful, forward‑moving coaching."
