“it was really beneficial to speak to someone like-minded and to someone who has been there at the beginning and come out the other end a success! I still often think back to the call and read the notes I took - such an invaluable business tool!”

- Natasha Rowarth

“Not only did she provide practical advice (she really does know her stuff!), but she was also super encouraging and really helped to boost my confidence. Her passion for helping other creatives to succeed in their chosen path was evident throughout our whole conversation. I don't think I've ever known any professional to be so generous with their time and knowledge.”

Please fill this is as soon as it is recieved.

Current months available can found in our shop.

Before The Session

To book your 1 hour session/s via Microsoft Teams* please choose from the monthly options currently available in our shop. Once you have purchased you will be directed to an online booking form. On the form you will need to fill out the topics you would like to cover in your session, your 3 preferred dates & times** & additional information. Please fill this out asap. You will also be contacted via email within 3 working days, which will contain extra information about your session, to confirm your date & time, & to ask if there is anything you want to send in before the session.

Please note: If you have not received emails from us do make sure to check your spam/junk folder & mark our email (kelly@rachaeltaylordesigns.co..uk) as a safe sender.

*If you would prefer to use another call method we will try to accommodate this. Rachael reserves the right to change & move the dates she is available if there are any unforeseen circumstances.

During the Session

With Rachael you will never be made to feel rushed. Rachael is very generous with her time & when needed will sometimes provide extra complimentary time so that you will get the very most out of your session.

After the Session

The team will be in touch with a comprehensive follow up including bonus resources, contacts, discounts from us & our creative partners, & any additional follow up support discussed in your session.

We kindly ask that you leave a recommendation on our Facebook page, making sure to choose the public option. This really provides a lot of support for the studio & it’s always great for others to see your lovely words!

The coaching sessions will not include technical based tutorials. Rachael will guide you as much as she can based on nearly two decades experience working in the design industry. Her wealth of experience, having designed for almost every product area, is widely respected & she has received many glowing recommendations for her teaching. However, there are topics that Rachael will not be able to cover such as technical advice with Adobe or digital software, as this will take more time than Rachael can responsibly provide in a 1 hour session.
Any creative coaching booked directly with Rachael will be managed by the Rachael Taylor Studio Team.
Unfortunately, Rachael will not be able to go over the time booked, as she will have other commitments to adhere to.
As Rachael has a very busy schedule & will have other appointments to honour it is essential that you are punctual for your session. If any unforeseen circumstances prevent you from attending your appointment, then you will need to let us know as much in advance as possible & another date can be arranged.
Rachael or the studio team will do a follow up email with any links, resources or answers that Rachael was unable to provide within your actual session. Although Rachael wishes to help you in any way she can, she cannot responsibly offer any more time to answer further questions outside of the booked sessions.
Refunds can only be given in extreme circumstances & at the sole discretion of the studio team.
