Coaching and Masterclasses for Entrepreneurs, Founders & Leaders

You could be one bold move from the success you dream of.

Imagine if you could:

1. Show up in your business with unshakeable confidence,

even when situations feel stressful or scary.

2. Make wise decisions without overthinking, second-guessing yourself

or worrying what others will think.

3. Be visible in a truly authentic (and magnetic!) way and

attract your ideal clients or customers with ease.

4. Take bold, courageous actions, rather than procrastinating or

trying to do everything perfectly.

Coaching and EMDR-Informed Coaching to help you be bolder

and more authentically you in your work

Have you noticed how some people seem to get all the lucky breaks?

They make the right connections, get invited onto podcasts, form collaborations and get the sales.

What's the difference? One key factor is that they take courageous action, or bold moves and another is that they show up authentically.

Being courageous and taking bold moves help you get noticed, they create opportunities and, importantly, they enable you to become the person you want to be, they help you thrive.

Born to be Bold was founded by Dr Rachel Lee, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, and offers coaching, EMDR-informed coaching and masterclasses, such our Bolder in Business Masterclass, to help you play bigger in your business, team or life.

If you find that self-doubt, "imposter syndrome", limiting beliefs or anxiety are holding you back from making bold moves, get in touch to discuss how we can help.

Our thoughts, beliefs and emotions can stop us from realising our potential, growing our business and/or progressing our career.

Self-doubt is often deeply rooted in cultural messages that have taught women and other marginalised groups to play small and doubt their worth, it can also be related to past experiences.

We can help you identify and break through the thinking patterns that are holding you back, so that you can lead with courage, clarify and confidence and step into your truest, most authentic self.

You were born to be bold, so if you feel like there is a bolder you just waiting to emerge, contact Rachel to discuss how we can help you.

Meet Dr Rachel Lee: Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Coach in West Yorkshire

"I am so grateful to Rachel for all the help she's given me, my life is transformed."

I'm Dr Rachel Lee and I'm a consultant clinical psychologist with over 20 years' experience of helping people unlock their potential, overcome difficult thoughts and experiences and navigate life's challenges.

I'm also a founder and know how it feels to manage the ups and downs of running and growing a business.

I've delivered thousands of hours of therapy and have helped executives, leaders, founders and business owners overcome a range of psychological barriers, become more assertive, find their purpose, have better work-lfe balance and lead with confidence.

Running a business, or leading a team, involves taking risks, making difficult decisions, tolerating uncertainty, bouncing back from failures and having challenging conversations. It's not easy.

I've founded Born to be Bold to give mission-led female founders and leaders like you gain the psychological insights and tools you need to be more courageous, reach your potential and make a difference in the world.

""Rachel listened to me and skilfully questioned me to help me realise the things I could let go and the things I needed to actively address. Perhaps the biggest impact that Rachel had was in giving me strategies to be more assertive."

How can I be more confident at work?

Breaking through your unhelpful thinking patterns, avoidance, procrastination or perfectionism will help you regain your power and take charge of your future. It can help you:

💫 Gain more clarity about your decisions, so you can be more effective.

💫 Take bold moves, so you can create opportunities for success.

💫 Develop a deeper confidence in yourself, so that everything feels easier and more enjoyable.

Imagine what you could achieve if you could let go of self-doubt, cope better with stress, be more courageous and make decisions based on who you want to become, rather than what you think you should do.

Born to be Bold offers masterclasses and coaching, based on the latest psychological science.

Our approach to coaching and improving performance : EMDR-informed coaching

I have specialist training in a range of evidence-based psychological therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and also ADHD assessment and I bring these skills into my work with founders and leaders.

My coaching and masterclasses draw on over two decades of clinical experience, plus my own insights from a range of leadership roles, including being an Associate Non-Executive Director in the NHS and developing my businesses.

I am an accredited EMDR consultant and I'm excited to offer EMDR-informed coaching, which brings the specific techniques from EMDR into coaching sessions.

EMDR is a powerful way of addressing psychological blocks to success and works at a deeper level than traditional coaching methods. You can read more about it here.

EMDR-informed coaching can be delivered intensively, across a day. We can meet online, you can come to my clinic room or we can meet at a suitable venue convenient to you.

Book a call or contact me at hello@borntobebold.co.uk if you would like to know more about working with me.

What stops female founders and leaders reaching their potential?

I know from my clinical experience, personal experiences and from working with leaders and founders, that many women:

  • Struggle with self-doubt, "imposter syndrome", and perfectionism.
  • Have faced upsetting life experiences that impact on their confidence.
  • Internalise societal expectations about how women should behave.
  • Overwork or set excessively high standards to cope with insecurity.
  • Find it difficult to say no or break unhelpful habits.
  • Avoid anxiety-inducing opportunities or situations.
  • Prioritise being liked over pursuing personal goals.
  • Experience emotional and cognitive challenges during perimenopause or menopause.
  • Feel lost during life transitions, such as children leaving home.
  • Balance running a business with a demanding personal life and caring responsibilites.


The Born to be Bold masterclasses and coaching programmes have been designed with these experiences in mind.

"I feel that I have re-gained my previous life in terms of my confidence, energy, motivation and joy in day to day things. It's simply amazing. Rachel's approach is transparent, interactive and above all friendly and reassuring."

I can help you unlock your psychological power in three ways:

"I could not have hoped for a more positive experience! Rachel was so kind and patient with me, and I will be forever grateful for her help. I was pleasantly surprised to make such quick and effective progress."
