What our clients say

I had never thought about a life coach until a friend recommended Sarah and i'm so glad they did. I was stuck in what felt like an endless cycle of work, work, kids, work which left me exhausted and feeling like I wasn't 'doing' either very well. I had my head down and seemed to no longer be in control of how my week, month or year went, just constantly reacting to demands. I spent time with Sarah who skilfully and patiently encouraged me to take a step back and start to explore what is important to me. In the initial weeks, sessions with Sarah led to me, reconnecting with friends and starting to incorporate some fun back into my week. We then went on to look at my confidence at work and how I was interacting with others and why I may not be communicating clearly. Reflecting on challenging work situations we began to make small practical changes to put me back in control of my work and focus my time and energy on the parts of my job which are in my control. Talking through situations with Sarah, I started to think differently and understand why colleagues were acting the way they were. This gave me the confidence to take a different approach. Our sessions are relaxed yet challenging and Sarah uses her vast experience in medicine and medical leadership to skilfully help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of working within the NHS.

Sarah is a highly skilled and competent coach who immediately puts you at ease with her caring nature and compassion. Sarah is an empathetic listener who is fully engaged and has a genuine interest in helping you. Sarah uses a considered questioning approach which leads you to set clear actions and enable you to reach your own goals and remain motivated throughout the process. I could not recommend Sarah enough.

You have helped me so much both personally and professionally. When I met you for the first time I felt weighed down, and definitely had a case of imposter syndrome. You have helped me to change my mindset and recognise what is really important to me. I would recommend everyone to take up coaching, really useful for slowing down and re-evaluating! Thank you Sarah

I felt so much better about my situation following today's session with Sarah. She genuinely cares about helping me improve how I feel about a really sensitive issue that is very emotional to me. I am able to talk openly and honestly with her and feel safe to say whatever is in my mind. She always listens and gives me attention. I have never experienced this before at work. She has a great way of allowing me to see other options that I wouldn't have considered without her and I have gone away feeling really happy with a few actions that I am going to take. I will continue to work with her and I know that I will achieve even more than I believed was possible prior to this. I can't wait to see what I can achieve. If you are considering working with Sarah I encourage you to stop considering, and go for it.

Coaching with Sarah has helped me see that I am prone to thinking the worst about what colleagues think about me, and seeking their validation for what I bring. This is unhelpful and through coaching I am learning to spot these negative thought patterns and nip them in the bud before they gain hold. This leaves me freer to own who I am unashamedly and be confident in what I bring, even if it is different to others. These changes are priceless in terms of my mental health and energy levels.

Coaching with Sarah has been hugely helpful. With her support I have developed a greater understanding of self and how to balance work and home as I took on a more senior management position in my organisation. Her approach is professional, kind and reassuring. I would recommend Sarah to anyone looking for coaching. Having not experienced coaching before, I now tell everyone they should go for it!

Coaching with Sarah has helped me enormously in develping my confidence and managing imposter syndrome. Sarah is always non-judgemental, empathetic and creates an environment in which I am able to speak honestly and openly about how I feel. Her coaching skills have guided me towards both moments of real revelation as well as more quiet but consistent shifts in my thoughts and behaviours. What sarah has helped me to achieve through coaching will ensure that I am able to have a long and successful career and, more importantly, be a more confident, happy and true version of myself. I would recommend coaching with Sarah to everyone

Sarah and I worked together for approximately 10 months. It was a time when I was experiencing difficult personal circumstances which adversely affected my ability to work properly and indeed my whole life.

Sarah’s kind, patient approach enabled me to think rationally and helped me to refocus my energy to find a positive way forward. Working at my pace, she helped me strengthen my self-belief and to view my situation from different angles so I felt empowered to again take control of my future path. Heartfelt thanks for your encouragement, support and compassion.

I have had experiences of therapy in the past but never coaching. Her appraoch was kind, professional and refreshing. With her support, I have been able to learn to implement boundaries in my personal and professional life. As a self- confessed people pleaser, this did not come easy. However, Sarah’s approach and guidance has helped me to implement boundaries that make me feel comfortable: ‘Would you rather be uncomfortable for five minutes stating boundaries or uncomfortable for days or weeks in a situation you did not want to be in?’ That is something I will carry with me. Coaching has made me feel at peace with myself and the way my life is. I am learning to appreciate things as they are in the moment. Sarah never made me feel silly or stupid, even when I felt like I was repeating myself or talking about pointless things. The conversations always flowed so seamlessly. Coaching has helped me learn more about myself and how I approach situations - I have learned to approach challenges with confident uncertainty. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone - Thank you!

I am using the theoretical stuff we discussed to keep me in my rational brain which impacts on my effectiveness and communication to colleagues surrounding me. The sessions really changed so much for me and helped me remain in control of my work life which feels good. I can also report that I used our coaching sessions in various answers in a recent interview and got offered the job! Thank you again for your expertise in getting me back on track.
