Rebecca McNeill
Coach and facilitator
Hi there, I'm Rebecca McNeill, director of Peace by Design. Through coaching and facilitation, I support people to find clarity, strength, and meaning, not in spite of their experiences, but through them.
My work has been shaped by a life that hasn't always been easy. I lost my husband to suicide, have been a carer, a step mum in a blended family marked by instability and complex mental health challenges, and worked as a social worker for many years. I have learned how to navigate chaos with compassion, boundaries and steadiness.
Today, my business is built on everything I survived, everything I learned, and everything I refused to let go of: hope, humanity, and the belief that every person can transform their story. Through coaching and facilitation, I create spaces where people feel safe, seen, and supported as they navigate their own turning points.
Peace by Design is not just the name of my work — it is the philosophy that saved me, shaped me, and continues to guide how I help others. I am a professional coach certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) specialising in Cingery conflict management coaching and transformational coaching. I am also an experienced facilitator that offers bespoke retreats and workshops.
Together, we’ll explore what’s unfolding in your life, uncover fresh perspectives, and take confident steps toward meaningful change. I create space for curiosity, insight and growth — supporting you to move toward a future that feels aligned and authentic.

Bec's approach is not only backed up by her extensive knowledge but also her deep commitment to her work and those she helps.
