Licensed Firework coaches

I focus on helping people achieve their largest and most expansive lives. Individuals, managers, and C-suite leaders in a variety of situations and positions—who work for non-profit and for-profit organizations. I am honored to work with an inspiring mix of coaching clients from different backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, dimensions of diversity, and lived experience.

My coaching style is supportive, reflective, and open-hearted. But I love to challenge clients to bravely explore new perspectives and game-changing beliefs about themselves and what they are capable of. I invite clients to bring in all kinds of wisdom to the coaching--not just what their head tells them, but what their body and intuition tell them as well! I also believe all voices matter, and I am deeply committed to justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

I Help Mid to Senior Level Professionals Redesign Their Career & Reach Their Short & Long-Term Goals Faster.

I help professionals at a turning point in their careers gain a deep understanding of their personality, redefine meaningful career goals, stay focused on their most important priorities, and their strengths and motivators, generate and investigate several possible career options or moves, and select the most aligned one. Based on their best choice I help them build and implement a clear structured action plan. I also help them enhance their leadership skills and generate the right opportunities to reach their redesigned goals.

As a Career Change Specialist, I help employed professionals (& business owners) transition into a career or business that is more aligned with their personality, natural strengths & unique needs.

My previous clients work in varying sectors such as law, banking, science, tech, education, the arts and music in both employed and self-employed positions.

I also offer additional mentoring packages to help clients create stand out job applications, excel at interviews or lay the foundations for a business they want to pursue.

As a former lawyer and having coached in a top university careers service before starting my business, I bring an understanding of many sectors to my coaching, consulting and mentoring.

My coaching style:

“Rachel is warm, empathic, and supportive whilst also being incredibly knowledgeable and action focused."

"Rachel is empathetic, insightful and professional and has supported me throughout my journey without any judgment."

I work with individuals who are neurodivergent and are seeking a more fulfilling work and life.

Navigating the challenges of being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world can be daunting. However, by gaining self-awareness and understanding, we can mediate these challenges and allow our strengths to shine.

I create a safe place for you to explore your unique needs in life and work. My coaching style is empathic coupled with insightful questioning. I bring a calming energy to our work. As a neurodivergent coach I spot patterns and incongruences that you may not be aware of yet. I help you explore those areas that may have been derailing your previous efforts to make changes.

I am a Career and Leadership Coach, supporting individuals and teams to create balanced, fulfilling, purposeful and successful careers.

I help people develop greater understanding of, and compassion towards, themself; clarifying what is truly important to them; what inspires and motivates them. Giving them the confidence and self-belief to make positive and intentional shifts in their career.
Acknowledging each client is unique, I tailor my approach to their specific needs; helping them explore and understand their strengths, values and drivers so they can identify a career that works specifically for them.

Working together, we develop a vision of how they want their work (and life) to be. Clarifying what has and hasn’t worked in the past, and what needs to change. Helping them to create clear action plans to move towards their vision and to develop tools to help maintain a positive mindset.

I specialise in coaching mid to senior level managers and leaders who are navigating change professionally and personally. I work with a mix of private and corporate clients, here in the UK and internationally.

I help people: preparing for or transitioning into a new role, taking on additional responsibilities, leading change within their organisation, looking for new opportunities, dealing with redundancy, considering a career change, or looking to improve performance.

I support my clients to develop a greater sense of self so that they can move forward in their career with clarity, alignment, and joy.

I’m a qualified coach, trained through the Coaching Academy, and a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I have a 17- year background in corporate HR and understand the challenges and complexities faced from both sides of the fence when it comes to navigating and adapting to change. I draw upon coaching tools and techniques and insights and experience to help my clients move forward.

I specialise in career transition and personal development, utilising the Firework Programme to assist clients recognise what their dream job is and then guide them on understanding how to achieve their desired outcomes.

My personalised coaching is designed to enable clients to recognise and overcome any limiting beliefs that may be holding them back, and provide a warm and friendly, yet challenging approach to assist them in understanding what they want from a career and most importantly, encourage them into taking action.

I also work with clients wanting to return to work after illness or a prolonged absence and help increase their confidence and self-esteem. Furthermore, as a Menopause Coach I am equipped to assist and empower clients with their work and well-being as they journey through this amazing transition in life and draw upon a vast array of resources to help overcome any personal or professional obstacles.

A bit about me…

Following a first career as a Nurse, I retrained in teaching adults and enjoyed a second career in training and development.

Whilst working for a national cancer charity, my role was made redundant. At the same time, I was headhunted which led to a third career in 2002 when I established and have been running my successful Coaching and Training business ever since. 

My coaching approach is Person-Centred as everyone has their own unique talents, abilities, challenges, and opportunities. I enjoy providing a confidential supportive space for clients to think out loud, explore and transform their career to enhance their life!

“Fiona helped me to recover from a very difficult period in my professional life.  I had been treated very badly, had lost a wonderful job and my world seemed to have been turned upside down.  I had lost my confidence, and my self-worth was on the floor.  Fiona's coaching style is very calm, empowering and she also gave me the push I needed to re-think the situation, stop blaming myself and to begin to move forward.

I will always be grateful for the support and help she provided to me. She transformed my life for the better and this is truly a gift!”  

Director in Higher Education.

“Fiona’s coaching gave me the opportunity to stop and think. 

She helped me to unpick my thoughts and identify my priorities, most importantly helping me to realise my vision.  

This enabled me to be focused, motivated and raring to start in a new direction! 

I cannot recommend Fiona and her services highly enough; working with Fiona literally changed my life and helped me fulfil my potential.”
