During the pandemic and continuing, Raechel provided coaching to senior management and the wider team within the NHS to support them through the challenging and pressured times. She has also developed and delivered multiple sold-out workshops and webinars to the public, private and education sector on topics including, Women as Leaders, Women Finding Their Power, Neurodivergence in the Workplace. Her workshops are highly sought after, with repeat bookings and a waiting list for participants.

Before becoming a Psychotherapist and Coach, Raechel gained extensive experience and transferable skills from her years in the public and third sector in managerial roles where the main focus was to encourage individuals to be the best they can be and to have the confidence to be independent with their decisions and within their wider lives.

Making changes and taking that leap of faith can be challenging and at times scary. Raechel offers a safe space in which you can explore who you are, so that at the very least you can be confident in how you are feeling but at most, feel empowered to move forward in a way that is most important way for you.
