COACHING
Let’s Get Started
I am an ILM Level 7 qualified Executive Coach. My passion lies in helping others to be their best version. I do this by building strong relationships with my clients, for me it's all about the rapport. Our professional relationship has to be a true partnership, we are on the journey with each other, we turn up, we are fully present and we break down barriers together.
EXECUTIVE COACHING SESSION
Meaningful & Memorable
My Personal Vision Statement (PVS) is;
'Igniting passion, purpose and excellence in others'
What's your PVS? Start thinking as we will be building one together!
Coaching assignments typically consist of six sessions and sessions usually occur every three to four weeks. You will complete a pre-chemistry questionnaire prior to the assignment commencing. This will allow me time to get to know you and understand your current challenges, before the sessions begin.
Our partnership starts here, so I need you to be open, honest, transparent and vulnerable (yes it's ok to be vulnerable!). Share as much information as you can in the questionnaire and then let's get to work.

CLIENTS
What People Are Saying
JENNY HAND - CHIEF OF STAFF, DEEPMATTER
I started coaching with Sarah when I was promoted to Chief of Staff from being an Executive Assistant. As I had worked for the company for a while, I worried I would not be taken seriously in a role with more responsibility. Sarah coached me through the options for ensuring I remained visible in the organisation and helped me to understand how I could use my skills to influence decision making and transition myself to become a leader of the company, rather than being viewed as support. My time with Sarah was super helpful and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anyone needing to make the next step up in their career or assist in allowing them to focus on their strengths.
SIMON HARNAMAN - DIRECTOR, ABSOLUTE WEALTH MANAGEMENT
'Working with Sarah has proved to be one of the most valuable things that I have done over the last 25 years in business. It has not only proved to be a useful exercise in terms of reflecting on my own path, but it has enabled us to really focus on the key aspects that will help drive the business forward. Above all, the most valuable part of the process was just being able to set aside time and talk things through with Sarah, away from the day to day running of the business. Spending this time away from the business has been one of the best investments we have ever made to date, and as a direct result we have an exciting future ahead of us......'
PARTNER, COMMERCIAL LAW FIRM
“I began my coaching sessions with Sarah, having recently been promoted to Partner in a large commercial law firm. Due to the pandemic our sessions were virtual rather than face-to-face, although at no point did that detract from how valuable I found them to be. By the end of the first session Sarah had expertly pulled at the threads of the themes most personal and pertinent to me at that time. Sarah then seamlessly and skilfully wove those threads into the fabric of her coaching, cleverly sewing the whole programme together so that the benefit I took away from the whole was even greater than that which I took from its parts. I felt supported and encouraged by Sarah from the moment we began our coaching sessions; feeling instantly at ease. Even via Zoom, Sarah was able to create a safe, reassuring and confidential space within which I could speak freely. I started my sessions with Sarah believing that the benefits would come from finding the right answers; I finished my sessions with Sarah appreciating that the benefits came from asking the right questions. That’s something only a brilliant coach can teach you - thank you Sarah!”
