My Approach to Coaching
Depth coaching for identity, purpose, and meaningful change.
Whether you're navigating a major transition, questioning what's next, or feeling disconnected from the life you've built, coaching can help you reconnect with:
who you are, what matters most, and the direction you want your life to take.
My Background:As a therapist in Ontario for over 12 years, I’ve supported others’ mental health, healing, and personal growth.
That experience shapes how I work—grounded, nuanced, and deeply attentive to the patterns that shape our lives.
Alongside that, I’ve spent 20+ years studying depth approaches, frameworks, and personality systems, including:
Archetypal frameworks
The Enneagram
Attachment patterns
Neurodiversity
Through more than a decade of supporting personal transformation, I've developed a coaching approach that bridges deep insight with meaningful, practical change.
How is coaching with me different?
Not only mindset work, my coaching involves deeply improving self-understanding.
My coaching philosophy isn't about becoming a different person.
It's about understanding yourself more deeply so you can make choices that reflect who you are and the life you want to create.
Many people spend years adapting to expectations, roles, or circumstances that once made sense, but no longer fit.
Together, we'll create space to explore questions like:
• Who am I becoming?
• What belongs to me, and what have I inherited from others?
• What kind of life actually fits who I am now?
Together we’ll explore what creating a life that reflects who you are now and what you've discovered might look like.
Why This Work Matters to MeI don't just guide this work—I've lived it.
For much of my own life, I've been drawn to questions like:
What do I actually want?
What matters most to me?
What kind of life would genuinely feel like mine?
I've spent years exploring those questions—not just intellectually, but practically. Through the choices I've made about my work, relationships, travel, creativity, and the way I spend my time, I've come to see that a meaningful life rarely happens by accident. It's something we intentionally shape over time.
I know what it's like to long for a life that feels deeply authentic rather than simply successful or expected. I also know how easy it is to lose sight of your own desires beneath expectations, responsibilities, old patterns, and the roles you've learned to play.
That's one of the reasons this work means so much to me. I don't believe life design is about creating a perfect life. I believe it's about creating a life that reflects who you are and what truly matters to you.
Today, I have the privilege of helping others explore those same questions. Not by telling them what their life should look like, but by helping them understand themselves more deeply so they can make choices that genuinely feel like the right fit for them.
Who this is forSome people come to this work because they already understand themselves—but still feel stuck.
Others arrive because they know something needs to change, even if they can't yet explain why.
You might be navigating:
• A major life transition
• Questions of identity or belonging
• A career or relationship crossroads
• Reinvention after loss, burnout, or change
• The feeling that you've outgrown the life you've built
You’re tired of feeling stuck and ready for the next chapter in your life…
Meet Rebecca Steele, MA, MSW — Depth Coach™.I work with people who have reached a point where the life they've built no longer feels like the right fit.
Perhaps you're in a major transition. Maybe you're questioning what's next. Or maybe, from the outside, everything looks fine, but something inside you keeps saying, "There has to be more than this."
• Who am I becoming?
• What matters most to me now?
• Why do I keep finding myself here?
• What kind of life do I want to create?
Together, we'll explore what you've outgrown and help you create a life that fits who you are now.
Why People Come to Depth Coaching
People reach out at different points in their awareness:
Some are looking for clarity and insight.
Some are ready for change.
Most can feel both—and aren’t sure what to do with that.
"I don't fully understand what's happening, but I know something isn't working."
"I feel that something is missing, and I'm not sure what it is."
"I feel I need something more—perhaps more creativity, meaning, or fulfillment—but I'm not quite sure what that looks like yet."
"I've outgrown the life I built, and I'm not sure what comes next."
"I understand myself, but I still don't trust my own choices."
"I keep ending up in the same situations and wonder why."
"I'm reinventing myself, but I don't know what that looks like day to day."
"I want a life that meets more of my needs."
Dreams, Symbolism & Inner Reflection
For clients who are drawn to a more symbolic or reflective approach, our work together may also include exploration of:
Recurring dreams
Emotional imagery
Intuitive associations
Personal metaphors
Themes that continue to emerge in your inner and outer life
Rather than approaching your dreams as literal predictions or fixed truths, I view them as meaningful psychological and symbolic material that can offer insight into identity, emotional needs, relationships, creativity, and personal growth.
For many people, engaging with dreams and symbolic themes can become a powerful way of deepening self-understanding, reconnecting with overlooked parts of themselves, and accessing forms of insight that are sometimes difficult to reach through logic alone.
Dream work testimonial:
"I had a dream analysis with Rebecca and walked away with so much more than I thought I would. Rebecca tracked and provided insight to the various themes throughout my complex dream. Not only do I have a greater understanding of this dream, I also have a better understanding of my subconscious mind and how I can continue to listen to it."
