grief and trauma-informed coaching
From surviving to flourishing: reclaiming your power, your peace, your joy; where your fullest self awaits.
How I can help you
Life often unfolds in ways we least expect, its twists and turns uninvited and unpredictable. While we can’t always choose the storms we face, we hold the power to choose how we meet them. In the quiet courage of facing life’s challenges, we find the strength to transform the weight of our experiences into the foundation for a future reimagined.
My core specialisms are loss and grief, trauma, race, and identity. The latter two naturally intersect with my primary areas of focus, deepening the work I do in these spaces.
GRIEF
Bereavement – helping you process and mourn the death of your person.
Loss – supporting you through grief that comes with sudden life changes and transitions – for example, the loss of a job, home, relationship (romantic, friendship, familial etc.), and health.
TRAUMA
Guidance through healing with a focus on what body-mind recovery looks like for you day-to-day, and nurturing a healthier, authentic sense of Self.
MENTAL HEALTH
Supporting you to achieve psychological and emotional balance in a range of areas including work (e.g. imposter syndrome, confidence, burnout), parenthood, relationships, personal life (depression, anxiety, addiction).
What is transformational and somatic coaching?
In my work, I integrate a range of coaching methodologies and approaches. The two main modes I flex between are transformational and somatic:
Transformational coaching – a style of coaching that seeks to bring about increased awareness of a person’s model of the world – going to the core, deeply exploring their experiences and filters such as beliefs, values, attitudes, assumptions, behaviours etc. – in order to create new possibilities for how one sees oneself, other people and the world around them.
Somatic coaching – a body-oriented style of coaching that seeks to work with the body’s intelligence to dispel outdated beliefs and adjust rigid patterns of behaviour. It’s an experience that allows us to be present with our body, process and release trapped emotions, and integrate new ways of experiencing life.
“Rebecca-Monique’s cool, level-headed approach gave rise to me feeling relaxed and held throughout our sessions. Her insight and observations were fluid and controlled, with the ability to recognise old patterns and give room to new ways of self-awareness...Her compassion and understanding drives the sessions, and you always leave feeling listened to. Most importantly, you take away tools that help change your life.”
“The sessions with Rebecca-Monique were fantastic from the chemistry call right to the end. I’m not someone who quickly or easily feels at ease with new people, but Rebecca-Monique was warm, empathetic and understanding throughout and I felt I was able to open up pretty immediately.”

A mirror for your truth – see the reflection:
I will help you confront and embrace your truth, however raw or complex it may be. Through compassionate reflection and powerful coaching exercises, we’ll shine a light on the parts of you that have been hidden or neglected. In this process, you’ll gain clarity and a deeper understanding of who you truly are.
This could look like:
Uncovering limiting beliefs that have shaped your decisions and actions.
Gaining insight into your emotional patterns and behaviours.
Developing a clear vision of the life you want to create, rooted in authenticity.
A key for your becoming – meet the reckoning:
Transformation requires courage, and I’ll support you as you unlock the door to your becoming. By facing your fears and unresolved pain, we’ll open pathways to growth and possibility. This reckoning will empower you to step into your fullest self with strength and authenticity.
This could look like:
Challenging long-held fears and confronting the discomfort that keeps you stuck.
Letting go of old stories and identities that no longer serve you.
Embracing new ways of being, and taking aligned action to create meaningful change.
A map for your return – embody the reclamation:
Healing is a journey of reclaiming what was lost and rediscovering your power. Together, we’ll navigate the terrain of your inner world, grounding you in your own wisdom and sovereignty. With each step, you’ll reconnect with your sense of purpose and step fully into the life you were always meant to lead.
This could look like:
Rediscovering your sense of self-worth and personal power.
Cultivating resilience and grounding practices that sustain your growth.
Developing a life strategy that aligns with your values and vision, empowering you to live with intention.
Being a coach is not just a job for me — it’s a calling. A calling to help others awaken to the truth that the answers they seek already lie within them. It is my privilege to support you in reclaiming your agency for self-healing, knowing that while healing begins from within, it is never truly complete without the care and connection of others.
My journey has been shaped by profound experiences — the loss of my adopted mother at the age of eight, the weight of psychological and physical abuse, homelessness, and the challenge of living much of my life as an orphan. Alongside these, I’ve navigated the complexities of depression and anxiety, marriage, post-natal depression, motherhood, divorce, redundancy, and career change. These experiences, though deeply difficult, have gifted me with invaluable insights into what it truly takes to overcome life’s many challenges. They’ve shown me the depth of transformation required to rise, not just to survive, but to thrive.
I am a professionally trained, ICF accredited coach, drawing upon a wide array of tools, techniques, principles, and frameworks to guide our work together. My approach is flexible, somatic, and transformational, adapting intuitively to the needs of each moment. Whether I’m challenging you to confront your limits, offering space for deep reflection, inviting you to tune into your body’s wisdom, or asking insightful and generative questions — I follow the flow of what feels most needed.
And, just as importantly, I encourage you to embrace the unknown — to welcome the serendipity that arises, trusting that we will be gently led where we need to go.
