Rachel Ferguson Coaching
Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I provide training, coaching and consultancy services to individuals, teams and organisations. I work in a way that is compassionate and courageous, with warmth and curiosity, working alongside you so you can get to where you want to be while making meaningful connections along the way.
A wee bit about me...

Coaching that creates space for clarity, courage, and change
​
I first experienced coaching while serving as a Director in a Community Development Charity. It gave me a rare, steady space to make sense of what was going on, get unstuck, and move forward with an actionable plan. That experience shifted my work and life in meaningful ways. When I reached a professional crossroads, I chose to leap into the unknown, complete my coaching qualification, and create new areas of work aligned to my values and my life. You can too!
​
Today, I work with individuals, organisations, and communities to co-create change that is both warm and practical. My approach blends trust, a deepened awareness, and a way to shape a clear path forward, pairing vision with compassionate action.
