Rachel Schofield - Parenting Expert

It has been wonderful working with Rachel on my parenting journey. Being a parent is challenging and it is so helpful to have someone who has seen such a broad range of situations to work through things as they arise.I love how Rachel incorporates listening time into the sessions - something that every mum / parent needs.Rachel has been so supportive, insightful and empathetic in supporting my evolution as a parent; enabling me to support my son grow into the beautiful human being he is and see the world through his eyes.We’ve worked on really practical things such as effectively setting boundaries, toilet training, preparing for the arrival of a sibling; as well as working on growing as a parent to see how to expand my own capability, patience and understanding of how to be both strong and kind as a parent.Rachel has the most beautiful energy which allows you to share without judgement. I always walk away from each session with insights and a practical action plan. Thank you so much Rachel.

I have been working with Rachel since last Mother's Day - the day of my first class in the Beginner HiH Course. I just love working with Rachel. After the course Rachel hosted another group which I joined to dive deeper into parenting in a way that felt really good to me. Since then I have signed up to one-on-one sessions with Rachel, which are like sanctuaries in my schedule. Rachel helps put parenting into perspective in such a warm, kind and nourishing way. Her listening skills, insights and practical suggestions really, really work for me. I know my children benefit greatly from the work i am doing with Rachel. Thank you Rachel.

Rachel is very patient, kind and sympathetic. She was able to guide me through a difficult patch with my daughter. It is still a work in progress but I am grateful to Rachel for her guidance. I do recommend her services:)

Dear Rachel,I want to say thank you so much for the huge difference you have made to me and my whole family’s lives!

You are so good at honing in on what the key issues are and it has meant I can focus my efforts where it has the biggest impact.As well as your lovely approach, which makes me feel safe and deeply heard, your advanced level knowledge of parenting and child development means I have huge confidence in you and in your brilliant, clear, effective guidance and advice which has helped me make great progress. The effect of this has been phenomenal. I have so much more joy to share with my boys and my husband and we are all so much happier.Thank you so muchwarm wishesMichelle x

We came to Rachel in desperation after not having slept for 2yrs (with our son). Her suggestions challenged our beliefs in what we thought we should be doing and instead encouraged a practical and heart-centered approach that focused on connection. The results have been impressive! Sleep time is now the best part of our day and the fights and struggles have been replaced with giggles, stories and a very calm and content boy. Highly recommend and can’t thank Rachel enough for her time, compassion and guidance!! She truly is amazing!!

Rachel is amazing! She is kind, supportive and completely judgement free.Reflecting on when I first met with Rachel to now there have been so many parenting shifts made that have made such a positive impact. Rachel has given actionable and realistic ideas and tools to implement, she explains things things so well it help gives me deep insight into my little ones inner workings and that helps me be a better parent and be confident in the decisions I made.I certainly feel that I still have so much to learn however I am endlessly grateful to know I have Rachel on my side to help, guide and cheer me on.

I'm not sure where to start, I am so pleased that I googled Rachel and booked in a session. I was at my limit with my son who was having very very big emotions almost constantly. Feeling on edge, worried about when the next one would happen and feeling like a failure as a parent.We are lockdown as a family and this was impacting everyone.Having found Rachel, my husband and I have been able to work as a team and pretty much transform our daily lives. We still have big emotions, but we are learning to reframe them. Its good for him to get those feelings out. We are still work in progress, we have completed the 8 week course and its fantastic.She's given us all the tools we need to continue. The problems will arise but hopefully we will know what to do.I really recommend doing the course with your partner if you perhaps have different parenting views. We are now on the same page.Working with Rachel has transformed our sons life and we are so thankful! -we were in the process of having him evaluated for SPD and our GP suggested Autism, I think now neither apply and its because he need the emotional support from us.

We really enjoyed working with Rachel and found her advice and guidance incredibly helpful and impactful. From working with Rachel I found I was more conscious of how I was responding to situations, had a deeper understanding of why situations were occurring and thus reacted with more calm and ease. Thank you Rachel!

I am so grateful for the patient, caring, non-judgmental, and supportive presence of Rachel in my life. Since working with her, I have had a compass from which to orient as a parent; even when things get hard with my kids, I know where I am on the map, where I want to go, and what the essential steps are in order to move in the right direction. I feel I can bring my whole, vulnerable self to my sessions with Rachel, and she helps me recognize my strengths and identify and work with my growth edges. To me, her generosity of spirit is remarkable.

I'm forever grateful for Rachel's guidance, the wealth of knowledge, and the keen insights she has on parenting and interpersonal relationships.I came to Rachel while looking for support on setting firm and respectful limits with my boys.In turn, Rachel provided me with a secure space to work intensely on boundaries, problem-solving and making changes, which have had a resounding impact on how we communicate as a family and on our efforts as parents to create a solid support base for boys. I can't thank her enough!
