Time is an abstract concept but the incremental, cumulative steps we make contribute to healing and growth over time.
Successfully working through trauma and grief will demand a new version of you.
Change will most certainly occur, but transformation is a conscious, deliberate choice.

How I can help you
Life can be tough, and we won’t always be prepared for what it throws at us. So much is out of our control. What is in our control, however, is our willingness to work through these challenging experiences.
My core specialisms are grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, confidence, sense of Self (identity), and boundaries.
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Somatic coaching – a body-oriented style of coaching that seeks to work with the body’s intelligence to dispel outdated beliefs and adjust rigid patterns of behaviour.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.”

Get Unstuck.
Trauma and grief can keep us in a seemingly never-ending cycle of distress and frustration. I’ll help you break that loop so you can feel empowered with the mobility to move forward and grow in a way that serves you.
Get Clear.
Being able to better understand your grief and trauma will give you a heightened level of self-awareness. You’ll be able to self-identify options available to you to overcome and grow from your pain, and exercise your free-will on how to move forward.
Get Back to You.
Develop the mindset and sustain the beneficial habits and processes that will help you attain healing. I’ll help you navigate life from here so you can thrive with authenticity, confidence, and self-love.
Being a coach isn’t a job for me. It’s a calling. A calling to help others realise that they already have the answers within themselves and agency for self-healing.
My personal experiences include the death of my adopted mother at the age of 8, psychological and physical abusive relationships, homelessness, living the majority of my life as an orphan, depression and anxiety, marriage, post-natal depression, motherhood, divorce, redundancy, career change...
So, not just from a professional perspective, but from a personally lived one, I consider myself to be well-placed in understanding what it truly takes to overcome the plethora of challenges that life throws at you, and the depth of transformation required to rise victorious.
I’m a professionally trained and ICF accredited coach and draw upon a range of tools, techniques, principles and framework to guide our sessions.
I have a flexible coaching style (somatic and transformational) that is dependant on what my instincts tell me the moment needs, be that challenging you, giving you space to think deeply, inviting you to drop into your body, or asking insightful, curious, and generative questions.
I also invite you to be OK with not knowing and letting serendipity take us where it wants to.
