Why Founder Wellbeing?
• 93% of founders report signs of mental health strain
→ This is 5x higher than the national average
• The demands of entrepreneurship can lead to burnout
→ Businesses don’t thrive unless their founders are also thriving.
• Entrepreneurs often face stigma when seeking help for mental health
→ Because the ecosystem re-enforces unhelpful narratives of hustle culture
Wellbeing isn’t a “nice-to-have” – it’s a key performance driver.
Why TDR?
Entrepreneurship is hard. Mental strain doesn’t have to be the cost of ambition.
Most startup support overlooks the human behind the hustle. We don’t.

What Our Clients Say
Working with Rachel gave me clarity and confidence to move forward when I may have been stuck or unsure which way to turn. Without her coaching, I think I would have wasted more time sweating the small stuff, overthinking, and taking longer to make decisions. I love Rachel’s soft and no-nonsense approach - absolutely non-judgemental, genuinely interested, and always to the point. She’s a master of asking great questions.
Nicky Runeckles, Founder, King's Start-Up Accelerator
Rachel was such a great support right at the start of my entrepreneurial journey where I was fresh out of university and didn't know anything about what was to come. It was really valuable having someone independent of the business who could give me advice and be my champion. I always found her approach refreshingly personal and human-centric
Josephine Phillips, Founder & CEO at SOJO | Forbes 30 under 30
Rachel has been a great coach, helping me to map out my various commitments and prioritise them. Working with her has helped me through a transition period in my working life and also has created the foundational building blocks for a new venture. She is good humoured, ensuring that I am always looking forward to a session
Hannah Elsy, Founder of Impresario, King's Start Up Accelerator
Rachel has so much great knowledge which she has shared with Launch It’s budding entrepreneurs in a friendly and informative way. She is careful to pitch the training at the right level for each client, which can be difficult as many of Launch It clients are at different stages of their entrepreneurial journey. We would happily recommend Rachel to any other entrepreneurship support organisation.
Amber Wright, Development Director, Launch It
If I hadn’t had coaching with Rachel, I’d still be second-guessing my approach to sales and product-market fit. She helped me build confidence, stay motivated through tough stages, and create systems to avoid burnout. Her insight and support have been game-changing.
