Rachel is my ADHD-whisperer. Coaching with her has been the best decision I’ve made since late-life diagnosis upended my world. She is skilful and compassionate, combining lived experience with professional expertise. It is because of Rachel’s empathy, wisdom, support, and well-pitched challenge, that I have had significant insights. More importantly, I‘ve found the courage to undo some life-long, debilitating coping/ masking patterns, and instead experiment with different ways of being and doing. I’m feeling more easeful and authentic, less stressed, and I’m re-writing my dysfunctional operating manual: to work with – rather than fight against – my neurodivergent brain.

I’ve been working with Rachel for nearly two years now. She managed to create trust from our first conversation, and it’s been growing ever since, leading to deeply personal and meaningful sessions. Rachel has the rare blend of genuine listening skills and ability to ask deep questions. With my AuDHD, Rachel never knows what to expect from me on the day, but she’s always adapted her style, tone and content to my mood and needs at the time, so I ALWAYS benefit from our time together.

Rachel Westerbeek is a fantastic coach for late-discovered autistic/ND women – I can’t thank her enough for making me feel seen and valuable and reminding me that I’m not broken and can keep bringing my unique mix of skills to any table.

I have genuinely found the sessions really helpful. I can see how coaching has impacted on not just my ability to perform better, but also on me personally. Key to that has been the fact that we have had a good and open relationship … I felt able to be open and honest, always feeling that what I had to say would be valued, treated with respect and confidentially.

Rachel coaches with a wonderful presence that provides time and space to do great thinking. She’s curious and inquisitive in helpful measures, and I completely trusted her to help me to solve some tricky challenges that I was working through.

I wanted to thank you for your coaching and support which has been unquantifiable. You have helped me see myself and helped me gain more self-confidence.

You completely changed my career trajectory with these coaching sessions, and I’m so very grateful for that – the power of an exceptional coach!
