About Rachel Knightley

I’m a fiction and non-fiction author, creative writing lecturer, professionally certified business and personal coach (PCC) and founder of The Writers’ Gym membership and podcast. There is nothing I love more (apart from writing) than supporting others to enhance, develop and celebrate their voice — whether that’s on the page or out loud, in life, work or art. My lifelong love of communication and performance began with acting and directing in theatres, schools, workplaces, charities and universities. It formed my fascination with perception and reality (leading to my PhD and to my PGCerts in Business and Personal Coaching with Barefoot and Teaching Creative Writing with Cambridge): how do the roles we play inform our identity? How much can our self-belief inhibit, or enhance, how we bring that self to our life, work and art? I bring all my knowledge and love of writing and speaking – and of how worthwhile the journey into creative confidence is for work and life – to every client relationship whether we’re together for a workshop, a course or a coaching session or programme.
