Bio
Gillian Andale ✨
I have worked with Rita for the past nine months and it has been an amazingly productive experience. Her coaching approach keeps you accountable in a friendly but constructive way. She has a vast amount of experience which she customises specifically for your business, focusing on the areas that will provide the biggest return on investment. I loved working with Rita and highly recommend her as business coach.

I would highly recommend Rita to anyone who is looking for a professional, supportive, empowering, life coach. With Rita’s belief in me, I was able to make the changes in my life that I needed to take. I was able to reflect on my life, what I wanted from it and where I wanted to be. During each meeting Rita listened as I talked about the mistakes I kept falling into with my life, things that stopped me moving forwards. Rita’s way of working allowed me to be in full control of the decisions I was taking by giving me exercises where I was able to evaluate and reflect on things. After each meeting, Rita was excellent at summarising what we had discussed. I really enjoyed each session and have moved forward to follow the career path I want. As a result, I have just received, Artist in Residence status for my photography which allows me to combine my career of community development, my teacher training and my photography and art. I am really seeing the results of my actions in so many positive ways. Rita is understanding, empathetic and very skilled in her work. I was able to work at a pace that suited me, which really helped me fit sessions around my busy life.

I don't know where to begin but all I can say is Rita changed my life. When I started my life-purpose coaching sessions I was sceptical & didn't understand how this would help me at my lowest. I was in such a vulnerable place but there was something different, completely different in how Ritas coaching sessions made me feel. Till date I still use the principles of what she taught me in my everyday life; be that business or personal. I would recommend Rita to anyone and everyone because her approach is kind, friendly and non-judgmental. Her knowledge is phenomenal and she always went above and beyond for my needs. Trust is something that was a key factor for me and to find someone that I instantly clicked with, whom I could share anything with was the deal-breaker. Thank you Rita for being my coach for guiding me and reminding me of my self-worth. I owe you a lot more than just a review.
