Rachael Shorten Coaching

What I Do

You don’t need fixing — you need space.

I work with individuals and groups who are navigating change, pressure or transition and who want to live and work with greater clarity, balance and purpose. My coaching gives you space to pause, reflect and reconnect with what matters, so you can move forward with confidence and intention.

Based in Cork, Ireland, I offer one-to-one and group coaching in person and online.

Clarity and Direction

Support when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about what’s next.

Balance and Wellbeing

Creating healthier boundaries, easing pressure, and finding steadier ways to live and work.

Change and Transition

Steady support through personal or professional transitions, with space to think clearly.

Who I Work With

Coaching can help when life looks fine on the outside, but something feels off on the inside.

People stretched by the demands of life, work or leadership
People at a crossroads personally or professionally
People who want more balance, fulfilment and clarity
People who feel successful on the outside but unsettled on the inside
People who know something needs to change, but aren’t sure what or how

Coaching offers a supportive space to explore what matters most — confidentially and without judgement.

Approach

Human, calm and professionally grounded.

I am an ICF ACC–accredited coach with training across personal, business, executive, team, career, and mental health and wellbeing coaching. My style is calm and respectful, guided by professional coaching standards and focused on awareness before action.

I believe you already hold the answers you’re seeking. My role is to help you slow down, listen more deeply, and take your next steps from clarity rather than pressure.

Testimonials

“Our life coaching sessions were incredibly beneficial and always strengths focused, especially during times when I struggled to see all of the positives in my own life. Rachael offered a wide range of practical tools too and worksheets that helped me stay grounded and reframe my negative thinking. She is genuinely wonderful to work with, kind, supportive and insightful. I would highly recommend Rachael to anyone looking for meaningful personal growth and positive change.”

— Fia, Cork

“Rachael provided valuable guidance and helped me set clear goals, which made it easier to stay focused and motivated. The accountability she offered pushed me to work harder and stay committed. The coaching sessions allowed me to identify areas for improvement and develop my skills more effectively. Overall, having a coach was instrumental in my personal and professional growth.”

— Christine, Cork

“I found Rachael extremely helpful throughout these sessions. She would often ask me one simple question which would bring out a whole essay in response from me. She was great in putting me at ease. I really went into this thinking it would not be for me and not only would I recommend it but I think I might even look at continuing this style of coaching in the future. I think Rachael was the perfect mix of humour and professionalism that set me at ease and really made each session extremely beneficial for me.”

— Kevin, Kildare

“The practical benefits I've seen in both my professional and personal life make it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to grow in their career or develop themselves personally.”

— Billy, Kerry

“Rachael was understanding, patient, and really good at asking the right questions at the right time. She didn’t just listen - she challenged me in a way that felt safe and supportive. Her presence made it easier for me to open up and start being honest with myself.”

— Mark, Dublin

“From my first session with Rachael, she immediately made me feel comfortable and just let me talk, her style of questioning and the points she raises, really made me think and look at situations in a different light. She gave me the tools and the strength to change things and to know my own worth. Rachael is excellent at what she does, and I would highly recommend her.”

— Veronica, Dublin
