Hope Coaching

Hello, I'm Rach.

I offer calm, practical 1:1 mental health coaching for adults experiencing mild anxiety, low mood, self-doubt, or loss of confidence — often triggered by a life change or transition.

If you've found yourself asking "whose life am I actually living?" or feeling like you've lost your footing, this is the kind of support that helps you find it again.

What mental health coaching is (and isn't)

My work is not therapy. I don't diagnose or treat mental health conditions. What I do offer is a thoughtful, skills-based space to understand what's going on for you — and start building the practical tools to navigate life more confidently.

My approach draws on evidence-based principles from CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), which means we focus on:

Understanding unhelpful thinking patterns
Developing practical coping skills for everyday life
Reconnecting with your values and what matters to you
Moving forward at a pace that feels manageable

Who I work with

I support adults 18+ who are experiencing:

Mild anxiety or low mood
A shift in identity or confidence following a life transition (relationship breakdown, career change, family changes and more)
Self-doubt or a loss of sense of self
A need for practical, skills-based support rather than therapy

Important — who this isn't for

This coaching is not suitable for moderate or severe mental health difficulties, crisis support, or emergency care. I will always signpost clinical or medical support where appropriate.

Why work with me?

I bring 13 years of experience supporting people through real change — not just as a coach, but as a qualified Mental Health Nurse. That background means you're in genuinely safe hands when it comes to sharing difficult feelings and emotions.

I have specific experience working with neurodiversity, particularly ADHD, and understand that no two people — or their challenges — are the same. I'm pragmatic, creative, and honest in my approach. I won't just listen; I'll ask the right questions, help you see things differently, and compassionately challenge the self-limiting beliefs that are keeping you stuck.

The goal? To help you feel steadier, more capable, and more like yourself again.

I have recently completed mental health coach training with Lyra health international, which was an ICF accredited training. This has enhances my skills by combining my existing knowledge with new tools to use with clients, who might be experiencing mental health struggles. 

**PLEASE NOTE** this is not a replacement for therapy. It is still coaching, but with the addition of tools that can directly support clients with low level anxiety and low mood.

Testimonials from recent clients

'I worked with Rachael initially to get some help around my imposter syndrome and my self-esteem. Rachael has been fantastic, her questioning allowed me various perspectives to consider, and she took what I believed were complex matters and broken them down into small steps to overcome. I am now in a place, mentally and physically, I wouldn’t have ever thought I would be. I don’t think I’d have got here without her. Thank you Rachael'  - JLK, Manchester

'In sessions with Rachael I've discovered a new approach to problem solving and mental organisation. Rachael has a friendly and comforting presence and is considerate in her approach. Her questions are thought provoking in all the right ways!'- TD, Manchester

Rachael has been instrumental at helping me take a good look into areas of improvement in my personal and professional life. She has made the sessions really comfortable to open up and has asked probing questions in a constructive way to dig deeper in on a topic. I feel that the sessions I have had with her has really helped me make a mental shift in the way I perceive things - honestly, it’s been life changing to say the least. I highly recommend Rachael as a coach, she is supportive, friendly, non judgmental and genuinely cares. Thank you! - SD, Salford

When I first started working with Rachael, I felt like I was drowning—new motherhood, a demanding job, and a relationship that felt strained. I’d completely lost sight of myself. Through our sessions, I started to believe that I mattered too. Rachael helped me find a way to hold space for myself again, without guilt. I honestly feel lighter, calmer, and more connected to who I am -Andrea.L

I was able to untangle my patterns and finally see what I wanted for myself - not just what I thought I 'should' do. I feel like I can now be myself.
- Sophia T.

 
I'd been living a version of life that was never really mine. Once I saw that, I was able to take the pressure off and start building a future I'm actually excited about - Louise M.

 
Rachael helped me get clear on my values and why my life wasn't matching up with them. That was the turning point. I'm finally moving forward - Charlie S.
