Rabiya has always been passionate about reducing health inequalities, improving individual’s quality of life, learning, developing herself and others. It is these passions that have been the steer of her career.

For almost a decade, Rabiya has worked in Health Policy mainly Drug and Alcohol Policy for various London Authorities. She has experience working directly with service users, parents, communities, police, social services, NHS, Central Government and a host of voluntary partner agencies. Her most recent role was as Training and Workforce Development Manager at Lambeth DAT. She championed the use of Drug and Alcohol National Occupational Standards, rolling out a learning programme for practitioners working with the largest and most complex drug using community in London. It was during this time as workforce lead where she started to consciously pursue developing her coaching and NLP skills. Rabiya completed an MA in Applied Coaching with distinction focusing on the use of Coaching and NLP to accelerate recovery from substance misuse.

Since then, Rabiya has started focusing her skills and experience into coaching women particularly those returning back to work after maternity leave via one to one coaching and a series of personal development workshops. Her aim is to make this transition in life easier for mums and help organisations support and retain their maternity female staff.
