"I have gone through many therapists and psychiastrists but none of them have helped me the way John has. He has genuinely changed my life for the better and helped me create my own journey" S. Morris
“John's life coaching course and the tools it provided helped me enormously in dealing with lifelong feelings of rejection and being an outsider. John provided me with a new perspective and tools to redirect my emotions down more constructive pathways of self-acceptance and self-worth. I can now appreciate more of my life, despite physical problems from aging, and be thankful for what I experience rather than suffering through a daily grind. I have no hesitation in recommending John to anyone else who has tried all the self help and psychology and still been stuck.” B. Matthew

Testimonials
"I was never sure of the idea of having a life coach, but decided to jump into it both feet with John and it has been an illuminating journey. I unpacked my sense of identity, life's struggles and aspirations with John, from which he provided me a toolkit and a bag of tricks to step into the next leg of my voyage. Revive, thrive, alive!"

" I had a few amazing coaching sessions with John in regard to relationships. He guided me to more awareness around the 7 core needs, attachment theory, love language and projections and how to connect again lovingly with more consciousness. We reflected on communication, creative thinking, self-worth and self-love as foundation for good and joyful relationships. I highly recommend John's coaching to uncover blind spots and create win-win situations with loved ones. Thank you John! !"
“There’s always a lesson to learn from every relationship,” John says. He is 100% right. John's coaching helped me to gently become more self aware of relationship patterns following a recent divorce, and where they stem from. He gently challenged some of my beliefs and fears, and helped me begin the process of healing old wounds. I now feel more confident about being who I want to be in relationships in the future, with ownership of the work I need to do and more clarity about who I may (or may not) let into my life in the future. John’s approach was kind, compassionate and he shared a lot of his own relevant experiences. What I liked about John’s approach is that he didn’t tell me what to do, or how to do it. John asked good questions and explored my responses with curiosity to help me find the solutions that were already in me. I couldn’t have got there without John’s support as my head was clouded by the heaviness, exhaustion and emotion of the difficult relationship breakdown I had just been through. Thank you John. These sessions were invaluable. Forever grateful"

“Over the past 3 months I have worked closely with John to resettle myself worth after a particularly difficult time in my life.Working with John has shown me a better side of myself than I ever knew existed.Through the sessions I have come to understand how the human brain works, and in particular, how the subconscious can control my thought patterns if I allow it to.With the tools that John has introduced to me I am able to control the emotions that were at one time dragging me down.Throughout the sessions I found John to be nonjudgmental, empathetic and caring. These attributes allowed me a sense of security allowing me to open up and move forward positively.Would I recommend coaching by John Rainbird? A definite yes!”
I found John through the book of faces and thought his questions provoking and thoughtful and his perspective refreshing. I have experienced traditional psychotherapy and was curious to explore a coaching framework. I felt energised and encouraged within the conversation space he coaches from. His authenticity and humility are reflected in his insights and I felt really heard and supported. He was a wonderful guide and grounding mentor through this big a-ha moment in my journey to self love and acceptance. Thanks John”
“Every session with John pushed me beyond my comfort zone and showed me where I was caught up in habits due to trauma responses in my mind and body. He reminded me to focus on self compassion and self-respect in order to break free from outdated tapes playing in my head. He also gave me practical parenting advice and strategies to use with my teenage son, which I'm using and they are working ! I'm very grateful to have had a taster of what John offers in coaching and look forward to more sessions throughout my recovery from debilitating anxiety and trauma. John helps you to think about things differently, so you can push through resistance to achieve goals . He's pretty awesome.”
"John is wise, supportive, engaged and stute. He created a safe space to unpack the dynamics and drivers that were affecting me. Through his program I was able to understand the deeper drivers that were affecing us and our marriage. John's sessions strike a beautiful balance between deep listening and providing advice and direction. I so appreciate the support John has given me on my life journey with my partner. I have recommeded him to friends who have also gained greatly from his process."
"John has an easygoing nature style. It doens't feel like counselling, just a good conversation with someone who has your back."
FAQS
Whilst there is some overlap, life coaching differs from psychology-based couselling and therapy in a number of ways. Coaching focuses on getting you to where you want to go rather than dwelling on how you got to where you are. It is also an equal partnership between coach and client - there is no hierachy of power. As a coach my focus is to empower you to be able to solve your own challenges rather than to build a long term dependancy on my services.
Coaching operates at three levels. Many coaches focus on level 1 - helping to address a current situation and help you to achieve a goal. Level 2 coaching covers this but goes deeper to build your skills to naviagate basically any challenge that comes your way. It is often called Transformational Coaching. Level 3 coaching goes yet another step futher into our deeper relationship as energetic beings in an energy universe.
Coaching draws on many different modalities but is founded on a deep appreciation of how we as humans function, what drives our choices and what limits our potential. Its about clarity, accountability, empowerment, and peeling away the barriers that stand betyween you and the life you desire to live.
Sessions are typically between 1 to 1.5 hours.
