Hi, I'm Rachel
Relationship Coach | Healed Fearful Avoidant | Nervous System + Secure Love Teacher
This is my story.
I am a relationship coach, based in London (and occasionally the US), that specialises in attachment healing. Relationships were not something I could have ever fathomed that I would be able to help people with based on my history. I had zero example of what a healthy relationship was supposed to look like. I grew up in an extremely chaotic, dysfunctional, and disconnected environment where I spent most of my energy walking on egg shells or alone. I had what you call 'the pretty typical' fearful avoidant upbringing. I know my parents did the best they could with the tools they had, but I am the poster child for generational and childhood trauma. I grew up living in fear and helplessness, without the tools, the ability, or the awareness to do anything about it. At a young age, it was very clear to me that I did not want this to be my life story and I told them I was going to therapy. I spent YEARS in therapy, devouring every self help book, podcast, new technique, thinking I was healing up a storm. That was until I got into my first long term relationship and it ending that I realised I was simply putting a bandaid on a much deeper issue. This is when I discovered Attachment Theory.
I now help turn attachment awareness into secure, connected love. Using nervous system - informed strategies I guide clients to feel safe, seen, and confident in their relationships.
I know what it’s like to feel pulled between wanting love and fearing it. My own journey through healing my fearful avoidant attachment style has taught me how much our nervous system shapes how we connect, communicate, and feel safe. It inspired and compelled me to help navigate their own relationship patterns and ultimately step into secure love.
Our attachment style directly impacts how we view, relate, and connect within relationships (and quite honestly impacts all areas of our lives). It is essential to understanding (and changing) our behaviours and beliefs around how we connect. Growing up, it served as a way to protect us and get our needs met, but now we get to relearn this in a way that doesn't cost us connection. There is nothing more empowering and liberating than reteaching yourself how to love, feel safe, and connect in a way that you've never known before (and guess what, it is possible). As I've worked with clients across attachment styles, I realised the how essential a nervous system - led approach to building secure love was.
Life and connection don't have to be something you just survive, it gets to be something you fully and safely experience.
If you’re ready to step into secure love and finally feel safe and connected in your relationships feel free to explore my coaching services and offers, in your own time, and let’s get started.
