It took a Woolworths Saturday job, breeding Welsh ponies and HR roles in construction and medical foods before I found mine.
It’s the feeling of being utterly aligned between who you are, what you do and how you do it. It feels amazing. It’s motivating, it’s exciting, it nurtures and sustains focus on what’s important.
When you connect to your purpose, you find strength in your values and unlock the motivation and energy that likes to hide in your busy brain.
Grow your resilience and confidence, recognise and develop your strengths and find your path. When stuck at a career crossroads, enriching or improving your current role, engaging your team or taking a step into the unknown.
Coaching can be transformational and empowering. I offer this on virtual platforms, phone and in natural environments. Nature gifts us with proven benefits to mind and body that enhance coaching outcomes.
I specialise in behavioural change and mindset to support success and to increase wellbeing. I use various methods and tools that are pretty common in coaching but I also bring in narratives, tools and metaphors from nature and offer 121 coaching in outdoors spaces across the South West within 50 miles from Wincanton, Somerset.
If you’re further away, fear not – there are ways and means to integrate these benefits. Even if we’re not physically close..

Are you a coach seeking to develop your practice further?
Coaching is a dynamic profession, filled with ambiguity and unpredictability. When this is the reality, how do you stay at your learning edge? Coaching supervision or super - vision as I prefer to think of it, is the ability to step back from the work. To stand shoulder to shoulder with another trusted professional and scrutinise things from multiple viewpoints. From the long view that looks at the whole system, to the micro analysis of thoughts and feelings that arise in our work. In a safe, confidential environment, supervision supports the exploration of themes, challenges, and ethical conundrums in addition to celebrating and nurturing successes to fully leverage the learnings to be mined. Group sessions and individual sessions available. New group sessions starting in April - £50 per 2 hour session with a discount for pre-booking 3 or more sessions. Contact me directly to secure a space. For testimonials, visit my website via the link below

Let’s get the smart-alec stuff out of the way. I’m very well qualified and take continual learning very seriously.
I have an MSc in Coaching and Behavioural Change, I am accredited by the European Mentoring and Coaching Council as a Senior Practitioner, I’m a member of the Association for Coaching and an affiliate of the International Society of Coaching Psychology. I sit on the International Editorial Board for the Journal of Eco-Psychology (which means I get to read and review new research before it's published!)
Because I’m a glutton for punishment, I qualified in coaching supervision which means I also support and enhance the development of other coaches.
That’s enough of that.
I’m a massive fan of the natural world, occasionally feral and a slave to two lurchers and a cat that treats me with nothing but contempt. I have a problem with garden centres; in that I can’t leave empty-handed.
Consider these statements
You're at a crossroads ... Maybe you feel pigeon-holed or stuck, or you've been overlooked and can't work out why. Your job may be safe, comfortable and well paid but unfulfilling. You might feel guilty even thinking about leaving during uncertain times. Maybe you're bored and want a complete change but are fearful of taking the leap. I can help you identify what's holding you back, and connect you with your sense of purpose, to identify opportunities and select the things that align to who you are and who you want to be.
You're facing big changes. Restructures, career transitions, redundancy, retirement, promotion. Whatever the reason for the change, life will be look and feel different. That's nearly always unsettling, often downright scary. Maybe you have a new role and greater responsibility or you're starting a business. Maybe you have a new team or you're planning how to wind down and move on. Maybe redundancy is on the cards for you or for those you employ. I can help you acknowledge and appreciate your feelings, give some airtime to your worries and be your thinking partner to use what's helpful to define your onward plans
There's something that's holding you back. As uncomfortable as it might be, the first step in releasing what you are really capable of is becoming aware of the assumptions that are holding you back. The good news is, you don't have to do it alone. I will help you to find the shift that needs to happen safely and confidentially Together we find the most effective way for you to recognise limiting beliefs, challenge your assumptions and release your potential.
It's all on you. You are expected to role model positivity and stay strong for your team. It's important that when you're the one in charge that you have an outlet for your thoughts and worries. It's healthy to have a thinking partner whose interest is not vested in the organisation and who can remain detached from office politics. It's a high pressure, lonely place and as your coach, I am a secure confidant, a trusted ear, safe container and partner unafraid to ask you the difficult, yet critical, questions..
You're in a pickle. We've all been there, a sticky problem that seems to have no ideal solution. I can provide methods that help you view the problem through a multitude of new perspectives. One or more of these is will shine a light on the answer you need or give you the clear air to create a new solution.
Don’t just take it from me
Rachel was amazing in helping me reach the crux of a problem that was causing me to question the best way forward in an important life choice. Her approach is warm and engaging, she will not leave you hanging after a session but will guide you, by clever questioning, towards a tangible and realisable conclusion. Thanks Rachel.

Thanks for the coaching time, your presence and your interest in me and my situation was both reassuring and encouraging. I feel much more able to move forward with my plans and deal with any unexpected hiccups

My time with Rachel helped me focus on what I needed to do next. I had no trouble with ideas but needed some space and structure to work them through. Rachel's approach using the outdoors and her knowledge of mindfulness in nature was exactly what I needed to move my business forward. Thank you Rachel!

Rachel was very kind to me during a call this morning. Although what Rachel does is not quite what I’m looking for at the moment, she offered to point me in the right direction of people who could assist. To me, this shows great business skills but also integrity in her profession that she wasn’t only in it just to get me as a client. That’s true professionalism right there. Thank you, Rachel,

Working with Rachel was very enlightening. While apparently in simple conversation, she gently startled and redirecting me to a significant shift in perspective. There is very little structure and as a result, I received very powerful solutions. I love this living systems approach to coaching. Highly recommended

I have been so privileged to have worked with Rachel, her approach is gentle but productive. Having coaching is always a very personal decision to make and in many ways very brave. To open yourself up to someone coming into your life and then allow them to guide you is a big choice to make. My experience with Rachel is that she makes this move very easy and relaxing, the idea of then doing this in a natural and unbiased location like the great outdoors is in fact a perfect choice.
Rachel Woods has a wealth of knowledge and her approach to coaching is gentle but affective. To be able to talk in nature is a massive plus as it may for many be an easier way of opening up. I have had many walk and talks with Rachel and lots of great energy and goals has opened up from those sessions.
Thanks Charlott, it’s been a joy to walk with you and I look forward to many more, social and professional.
