You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need somewhere to start.

1:1 Coaching for Women in Midlife. A calm, honest space to move from foggy and stretched to steadier, clearer and more like yourself again, in your career, your wellbeing and everything in between.

What is Coaching?

Coaching is a calm, focused conversation that helps you step back from the noise and hear yourself again.

It's not advice. It's not therapy. It's a safe, honest space where the right questions help you untangle what's really going on and find your own way through it.

Many of the people I work with arrive knowing they are capable and competent, reaching for something more, and quietly aware that something is getting in the way. They know something needs to shift, but they can't quite see what, or they don't trust themselves enough to choose.

Coaching helps with exactly that.

Who this is for

If you're ready to show up differently, in your career, your leadership or your life. This is for you.

You might be questioning your next career step, feeling like you're not leading at the level you know you're capable of, navigating a challenging piece of work, or simply sensing that something needs to shift and not quite knowing what.

You don't need to arrive with the answers. You just need to be ready to look.

1:1 Coaching with Rae

A focused coaching conversation for when you’re holding everything together for everyone else and you need space to come back to yourself. We often begin with your career, because that’s usually where something first starts to feel off, but it rarely stays there. Together we make sense of what you’re feeling and thinking right now, without judgement, so you leave steadier, trusting yourself again, and with a clearer sense of who you’re becoming.

We start with a free consultation call, so we can meet and feel out whether this is right for you. From there, most women choose a block of three or six sessions, the committed space for ongoing support over time. Each session is around 60 minutes, online or outdoors in and around Bath.

Outdoor Coaching in Bath

For the woman who needs to move to think. This is coaching outdoors, with nature as a co-facilitator. The space, the colour and the movement open up thinking that four walls and a screen can’t reach, with metaphor and story guiding the way. You might arrive going round in the same loop, and find yourself walking a new path, literally and figuratively, towards who you’re becoming.

Sessions take place in parks, woodland and open spaces in and around Bath, and begin with a free consultation. They follow the same blocks of three or six as 1:1 coaching, and a block can blend outdoor and online sessions to suit you, the diary and the season.

Career Conversations

For the moments at work that matter. A one-off or short-term space to think through a career decision, prepare for an important meeting or appraisal, or work out whether to apply for that new role. You might arrive with the conversation already playing out in your head, or a decision you keep putting off because you can’t quite see which way to go. You leave prepared and steadier, knowing what you want to say, and trusting yourself to make the call.

Most people come for one to three sessions, booked as and when you need them, with no block to commit to. Each session is around 60 minutes.

How I work

Every coaching relationship is different, but the process is always grounded in the same things: deep listening, thoughtful questions, and practical tools that create real movement rather than just reflection.

I bring warmth, honesty and steady challenge. You bring whatever you’re carrying. Together we work out what comes next, and the conversation goes wherever it needs to.

Coaching meets you where you are. Prices start from £195 a session, with separate rates for individuals and small businesses, and for organisations. You can book a free consultation call at any time, a chance for us both to get a feel for whether we’re a good fit, and to talk through what would suit you.

The difference it makes...

As part of an exciting study into the impact of the menopause on the working lives of women experiencing it, I was fortunate to be afforded three coaching sessions with Rae. These have been both enjoyable and immensely helpful. Rae is warm and relaxed and builds rapport quickly. The sessions looked at you as a whole person, not just the menopausal parts! The focus in on how to recognise what is not working and seek workarounds and coping strategies; and how to 'unstick' 'stuck' situations. I take away tools to help in this, like asking myself "What can I control?" and "What can I influence?

Senior Nurse Leader NHS

Rae is able to create an environment that allows you to go to unexpected places and then return back to a path that takes you to your intended destination. It may be a different path than the one you started on but it seems to get you to where you want to go faster. I had so many "aha" moments that seemed obvious in hindsight but were not available to me before my coaching sessions with Rae. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Mia

Creative Director

She has a warm, engaging and positive style and has the rare gift of asking the most insightful questions to encourage you to dig deep and create your own solutions. I would recommend Rae to anyone looking for a coach who is truly talented in their field.

“I love our coaching sessions. You’ve helped me find clarity at a really challenging time at work. You’ve helped me see perspective and make the right decisions for me. Thank-you Rae

Beth

Project Manager

Coaching empowered me to have a voice and to follow my values and morals. I was able to talk through difficult situations and reflect on why and how I could make positive changes. I acted upon these reflections and feel stronger, braver and prouder as a result.

Catriona

Senior Nurse, NHS

Thank you Rae, you have given me a new perspective and reminded me that even though life is busy, it is not only okay but essential that I don’t lose sight of myself and my needs. Your coaching has helped me create the balance I needed between my home life and my business. You have encouraged me to believe that my goals are possible when I put myself first. Since our session, I have put my needs first and once again I feel relaxed and creative an I’m still able to meet the needs of those I care for.

Emma

Business Owner and Carer

I had a fantastic Coaching Session with Rae yesterday. It gave me the time and space to focus completely and unselfconsciously on me, which is something that’s surprisingly rare when you run your own business. I felt so comfortable, like I was chatting to a trusted friend. Rae has a very calm, relaxed way of working and asked thoughtful questions that helped me unlock thoughts and feelings about how to move forward in my business. I came away feeling lighter, clearer and equipped with a framework for the next steps. I’d recommend Rae to anyone who struggles to make time to step back and work on their business, rather than constantly working in it.
