What people are saying
“Working with Ray at Drift & Design was incredibly eye opening. I went into sessions wanting to gain more balance in my working and personal life as a fashion start-up founder. Ray helped me break down these goals looking at each aspect of my life and ultimately how to plan for success with a kindness towards myself. A main area we ended up working through was a pressure I put on myself to be able to do everything, which at various times of my cycle leads me to fail as inevitably I can’t give 100% constantly. We looked at cycle syncing my life and it has been a game changer. I loved every minute of working with Ray, she brings such a calming presence to every situation and created a space where I felt heard and motivated in equal measure. I look forward to working with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Ray's empathetic approach created a space where I felt seen, supported and driven. I came to Ray creatively stuck and overwhelmed, and she helped me reconnect with my sense of purpose and confidence. Her blended approach was exactly what I needed to move from a place of stagnation to one of energy and empowerment. I highly recommend Ray to anyone seeking to work on themselves, reignite their creative flow and embrace their full potential.”

“I learned how to ask myself the right questions which has altered my outlook on foundational elements of my work and personal life. I understand myself better and that I always have choices and options if I know where to look. My most powerful discovery was the ability to look at my options - a lighter, more nimble outlook, seeing that the situation I am in is just a moment, taking a pause, assessing my options and being open to other possibilities gave huge value."

“Following significant life changes I felt stuck and was looking for a way forward both professionally and personally. Drift & Design helped me unpick where I was at and create a new vision for the future. Sessions were a space to externalise, explore and weigh up options. Practical tools and a fresh perspective helped generate a new way of thinking. Both challenging & insightful. Value for money.”
- A. Abadie, Street / Fashion Photographer
“Ray has helped me with limiting beliefs and anxiety. EFT is a fabulous tool- however, made more fabulous and effective,with Ray's grounding, 'all seeing' presence and intuitive approach. I am very greatful for Ray. I would recommend her highly!”
- Emily Handley
“A safe space to discuss my key personal neurosis! Loved hearing NLP 'state-based' techniques. These sessions are so out of my comfort zone - especially to talk so openly like this - but I feel progress doesn't really flourish in the comfort zone.”
“The coaching session was incredibly beneficial, providing the right amount of challenge and reflecting my thoughts back to me, which helped me gain clarity in areas I hadn't realized needed it. In just 45 minutes, I achieved more understanding than I had in weeks of trying to figure out the changes in myself and my career since returning from maternity leave. I now have a clear goal that aligns with the safety and comfort I need in my current life situation, allowing me to confidently start working towards my next steps.”
“I like the way Ray can help to formalize and put into actions my vision and purpose.”
“It's always super useful to be able to have meaningful conversations as we are "forced" to pause and think on what we want to achieve in the end of each session. This approach makes it always effective. Thank you for helping this achievement very nicely.”
“Ray helped me think more strategically about how to be successful when working with internal stakeholders. Through our conversations, she guided me to understand that when both parties are set up to succeed, the outcome is stronger for everyone. Her coaching helped me uncover how mutual success leads to collective success.”
“Loved getting in to the psychology of 'choice' and existentialism!”
“Ray is a brilliant coach and I get a lot out of our sessions. She's insightful and creates a productive environment for reflection and growth.”
“So helpful to gain tips to focus on the internal and my core values/what's influenced me as a child, so I can focus on being a better version of me - someone I'm proud of, not based on others’ affirmation. Practical links to external resources help me.”
“It has been a very positive experience; actually productive in terms of take away for me as a professional.”
