‘I had some idea about coaching, but I know much more about it, thanks to our great trainer Rachel, she was knowledgeable, calm and a great teacher.
I definitely would recommend the course to other people.’
Coaching Skills for Counsellors The Refugee Council
‘Just completed the [Rowan] two day course facilitated by Rachel. Rachel has a very relaxed delivery style which allows you to feel at complete ease throughout. It is abundantly clear the experience Rachel brings to the training, whilst allowing you the opportunity to explore your thinking. I thoroughly enjoyed the two days and I would highly recommend anyone who is thinking about Mediation training to engage with Rowan.’
