Meet Rebecca Layla

Helping you get unstuck and move forward.

I’m Rebecca, and I help people rebuild after heartbreak, understand the patterns that keep them stuck, and become someone they can trust to make better choices in life and relationships.

​

But first, I’m going to let you in on a little secret…

​

I used to be a MASSIVE people pleaser, I was literally the poster girl for daddy issues. I seriously lacked confidence, so when it came to relationships I settled for bare minimum BS. Repeatedly.

​

Eventually, I realised something had to change. So I started doing the work — understanding my own behaviour, rebuilding my self-worth, learning how attachment and old patterns were shaping my choices, and becoming far more intentional about what I would and wouldn’t accept.

​

That process changed far more than my relationships. It changed how I saw myself, how I made decisions, the boundaries I set, and the life I was willing to create.

​

Now, that’s the work I help other people do.

My Credentials

I’ve spent the last 15 years working in behaviour change in all sorts of settings, from social care and offender rehabilitation to working as a Behaviour Manager in a high school.

​

Basically, I’ve spent a very long time being fascinated by why people do the things they do, even when those things are clearly making their lives harder.

​

That interest started in my twenties when I studied Social Science at the University of York. I’ve always been a bit of a nerd when it comes to human behaviour.

​

Then after my divorce, I did the deeply inconvenient thing of holding up a mirror and realising that, in quite a few ways, I was the fucking problem.​

 

So naturally, I decided to do what any normal person would do…

​

Undertake a Master’s degree in Applied Positive Psychology.

That gave me an even deeper understanding of behaviour, mindset, identity, wellbeing and what actually helps people create lasting change.

​​

Since then, I’ve taken everything I’ve learnt professionally, academically and through my own spectacularly imperfect life experience, and turned it into the way I coach now.

​

No jargon. No pretending change is easy. Just helping people understand themselves properly, break the patterns that keep tripping them up, and start making choices that actually move their life forward.
