“Hand on heart, I wouldn’t be where I am now if it weren’t for you.”

Here’s what more creativity, confidence and curiosity are going to feel like.
Less anxiety, more curiosity
My background in communication and performance showed me how authenticity creates confidence, and being at home in who we are.
Less ‘I should’, more ‘I choose’
Getting to know our own thought process means discovering how much power, potential and possibility result from using tools we all have to create the life we want.
More time and more space for who you truly are
Even better is the discovery of how much happier we can be in our work and lives when we experience the freedom to show up as ourselves.
Writing and Confidence
From absolute beginner writers to award-winning authors and the newly ‘writing curious’, Rachel partners with you where you are. Get to know your unique voice, who you are as a writer, and what works for you in your writing life. Instead of something to be fitted in, the coaching relationship means moving out of worrying if you’re a writer, into truly enjoying and progressing in the writing you want to create.
Personal and Professional Life
Rachel’s clients include all industries, career levels and personal backgrounds. Anyone who wants to step into the fullest version of who they are. The conversation might begin with a specific decision needing to be made or step to be taken – between jobs, homes, or relationships; or communicating with colleagues or audiences – yet the skills and awareness coaching builds spread out from there, to benefit life in all its arenas.
LAMDA Exams
Rachel offers communication and performance for 6-18-year-olds through LAMDA syllabuses in public speaking (including speechwriting), reading for performance, acting, devising drama, speaking verse and prose and reading for performance. Exams are available (Rachel’s results are between 96-99% distinction over the last ten years), but not compulsory. LAMDA coaching prioritises the intellectual and emotional growth, life skills, confidence and enjoyment in writing, speaking and performing.
Speaking and
Confidence
Online presence, keynote speeches, presentation skills, interview technique: there’s no area of life where we aren’t communicating with an audience and wanting a strong audience relationship. If you want to supercharge your confidence and enjoyment of speaking in public, or change it from something to fear into something you relish, Rachel’s sessions will allow you to discover how to grow comfortable in what you share, and in showing up as yourself.
Social Media Voice
Your brand is a reflection of who you are and what you love, and sharing it can be something to feel very excited about and proud of. If that’s not yet how you feel when you think about Instagram, Linkedin, Substack or any other platform you know can take you closer to your business or personal goals, it’s time to start that conversation. Rachel works with individuals and businesses to build sustainable, authentic and enjoyable online presence.
Under-18s
Rachel works with children, teenagers and their teachers, directors, families and caregivers to build confidence, communication and performance skills. Previous residencies include the Questors Theatre and Heathfield Girls Day School Trust, before Rachel began working exclusively from home and online. Whether you are looking for tuition, exam support, interview technique, confidence building, writing, speaking, comprehension or confidence building for all the circumstances of life, Rachel relishes building confidence and love of writing, reading, communication and performance.
Greater confidence in personal and professional life
Yesterday it might have been about trying to be who you thought you were ‘supposed’ to be. Today is about building the circumstances where each tomorrow you’re celebrated for who you are.
In the past you might have tried to change or ignore your feelings. Today you act in line with core values.
Conscious creativity to identify and create positive changes
There was a time when self-care felt like selfishness. This is the time you’re clear on who you are, what you offer and where you invest your energy.
Clarity on personal values, priorities and choices
“The environment you’ve created is so special and safe. I always feel I can share honestly and openly.”
