Rachel Picton Coaching

I’m Rachel Picton, an experienced leader, academic, and coach with a career spanning senior roles in higher education and the health sector.
Over the past two decades, I’ve held leadership positions that required me to navigate times of significant disruption, uncertainty, and change. From shifts in higher education policy and funding models, to the unprecedented challenges faced by the health sector, I’ve seen first-hand how even the most capable professionals can feel destabilised when the ground beneath them shifts.

I have gone through two voluntary redundancy processes, set up my own high street business, my own strategy consultancy business, lived overseas, transitioned from a clinical career to an educational leadership one, worked across board leadership and charity governance and brought up 3 wonderful children, navigating all of life’s challenges along the way. I feel well equipped to understand the seas of change and the need to keep on finding a way forward in whatever circumstances come our way.

I help ambitious, thoughtful people reconnect with their value and translate it into meaningful action. I love nothing more than seeing others thrive and reach their potential.

Over my career as an academic, clinician, leader, and mentor, I’ve sadly seen how often amazing, capable colleagues undervalue themselves, hesitate to make bold moves, or feel stuck in patterns that don’t reflect their true worth. My coaching practice is built to change that.

Together, we’ll uncover what matters most to you, strengthen your confidence, and make sure you’re putting your worth into practice: in your work, your leadership, your potential next steps and your life in general.

In addition to my many years of coaching colleagues and friends using my Certificate in Coaching, I have now completed a Diploma in Transformative Coaching with Animas, building my knowledge and passion for coaching even further.

Animas trains people in psychological-based, transformational life coaching. It is conversational in its delivery and uses a powerful combination of the psychological, humanistic, integrative and holistic approach so that the outcomes can be truly client-led.

Take that first bold step and get ready to embrace your worth. Get in touch using this Contact Form button
