Working with Me

Rajni smiling in a woodland-inspired space

Rajni Patel

I offer coaching and business mentoring for people who want their work to be both effective and aligned. Drawing on emotional intelligence, reflective practice and strategic thinking, I help you develop clarity, adaptability and resilience.

Throughout my professional life, I’ve been drawn to supporting personal growth — in people, in organisations and in the communities they serve. Over the past 30 years, I’ve worked across community development, the arts and regeneration, leading projects and programmes, mentoring others, helping to foster resilience and challenging the status quo.

My experience in professional development and organisational transformation has given me a deep understanding of how people find their way through challenge and change. I work with people at all stages of life and focus on attuning clients with their flow.

Ways of Working

Coaching — A focused journey over 6–12 individual sessions to help you map your goals and the routes to achieving them
Business Mentoring — Ongoing strategic and relational support that stays with you as your business grows.

My Approach

I believe meaningful work grows from attention, not urgency — from listening, not forcing and from relationship, not isolation.

I work with what is present: the questions, uncertainties, ambitions and values shaping your livelihood intentions. I offer structure, challenge and reflection that leads to purposeful action, without rigidity or pressure.

I don’t impose models or quick fixes. Instead, I support clarity, discernment and emotionally intelligent relating, so decisions are made with integrity and actions remain sustainable over time.

I respect complexity. Growth happens in cycles, not straight lines. My work honours natural rhythms of action and rest, helping build resilience rather than burnout.

Above all, I work in partnership — a collaborative process grounded in trust, honesty and care, where what’s possible is shaped patiently and intentionally.
