ABOUT ME:

Welcome - I'm Sarah, A Therapist & Confidence Coach; spending the past 10 years teaching 1000’s of high achievers how to overcome doubt and take more confident, decisive action to live their most unapologetic life. 

Over the past decade, I’ve worked as a high level manager in the NHS & had my own challenges with imposter syndrome, self-doubt & fell into the comparison trap. 

I’ve experienced painful past relationships, been a ‘people pleaser', worked through grief and loss and I’ve overcome significant health challenges at a young age. 

I use my life lessons as medicine to practice with real understanding and now firmly believe that my softness is my superpower. 

MY EXPERIENCE

I have significant experience of working within charities with adults & young people and, within a university setting supporting 18 - 25-year old’s. I helped them to feel calm, confident & capable which has allowed them to take confident decisive action & thrive within their lives.

I’ve spent the last 8.5 years working within the NHS, as a high level manager, providing short term therapy & workplace wellbeing support to frontline NHS staff helping them to reduce anxiety, overwhelm & burnout, allowing them to prioritise their wellbeing & find greater balance in their lives.

Throughout, I’ve spent several years supporting the practice of counselling placement students, running group supervision sessions and providing mentorship to student counsellors as well as qualified volunteers & staff.

I have helped them to develop their confidence & competence which has shaped their practice & development as therapists.

I now run my own business, providing therapy, coaching, training, supervision & specialise in workplace wellbeing consultancy supporting organisations internationally.  

A LITTLE ABOUT ME (PERSONALLY)

If you're anything like me, then connection, true connection; where you feel seen, heard, accepted & understood is essential to any relationship. The therpay relationship is no different.

I also know it's important to work with a someone who get's ‘it’, someone who get's you and your unique position and this journey of life with all it's up's and downs.

I also believe vulnerability is the cornerstone to transformation.

As I share with you a little bit more about me, it is my hope that I shine a spotlight on my human side, which I believe ultimately shapes our relationship together. I always say - ‘human first, therapist second’ and this is truly how we will work together.

So, here’s goes…

I've been on, and continue to go through, my own self development, healing, and empowerment journey – a journey which I believe continues throughout our life!

I’ve had my own challenges with imposter syndrome and self-doubt within my NHS role. I’ve experienced painful past relationships. I’ve been a ‘people pleaser.’ I’ve worked through grief and loss and, I’ve overcome significant health challenges at a young age.

Yet, all of these life experiences have led me to where I am today which now allows me to utilise my own unique gifts within my work, call upon my lessons as medicine, practice with real understanding and, truly know that my softness is my superpower.

Over the past 10years years, I’ve loved working with high achievers to teach them how to swap doubt for confidence using a beautiful mix of Psychology, Spirituality & Strategy.

When I’m not working with clients, organisations or Supervisee’s, you’ll find me exploring the countryside with my 2 dogs (who are the light of my life), escaping to the ocean with my partner, lifting weights in the gym or curled up with my kindle and an oat milk flat white. 

MY APPROACH & WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM WORKING TOGETHER

I'm dedicated to my work and arrive to each session offering a calm, grounded and open energy.

By drawing upon an integrative base with an intuitive nature, I strive to provide a space that feels supportive, safe and expansive; to hold the whole of you and explore what's important.

My style is flexible, accommodating and most importantly, adapted to you and your needs.

I won’t collude with you, yet I will be your biggest supporter; offering you challenge and congruent reflection.

Working together you can expect: 

- Strategy yet intuition

- Structure yet softness

- Techniques to manage anxiety & overcome doubt

- Time to focus on you

- Logical perspective delivered with love

- Deep emotions yet empowering actions to support you to increase your confidence, create calm, be present & enjoy your life again.

SUPERVISION EXPERIENCE 

Since qualifying as a clinical supervisor in 2015, I’ve worked with supervises at varying levels.

I adapt my style to meet you where you are on your counsellor journey; whether that be just embarking on your first placement or whether you’re qualified and you’re seeking a new supervisor.

I am currently working with both student counsellors & experienced therapists who are embarking on private practice & are attached to organisations.

Throughout my career I’ve ran group supervision sessions & worked both face-to-face and online, mentoring therapists at varying stages within their practice. 

A LITTLE ABOUT ME (PERSONALLY)

If you're anything like me, then connection, true connection; where you feel seen, heard, accepted & understood is essential to any relationship. The supervisory relationship is no different.

I also know it's important to work with a supervisor who get's ‘it’; this wild counselling journey with all its ups and downs, who understands the complexities of working within organisations and the tenacity it takes to run a successful private practice. 

Ultimately, I am a supervisor who get's you and your unique position on your therapist journey.

I also believe vulnerability is the cornerstone to transformation. 

As I share with you a little bit more about me, it is my hope that I shine a spotlight on my human side, which I believe ultimately shapes our supervision relationship together. I always say - ‘human first, therapist second’ and this is truly how we will work together.

MY APPROACH & WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM WORKING TOGETHER 

I pride myself on arriving punctually to each supervision space offering a calm, grounded and open energy. 

By drawing upon an integrative base with an intuitive nature, I strive to provide a supervision space that feels supportive, safe and expansive; to hold the whole of you and your client work.

My style is flexible, accommodating and most importantly, adapted to you; your competency level and your supervision needs. I offer nurture and guidance to newer counsellors and, a reflective and expansive space for those more experienced. 

I won’t collude with you, yet I will be your biggest supporter; offering you challenge and congruent reflection. 

Our supervision sessions will gift you a reflective space which will place yourself and your experiences at the forefront of our time together. This will enable you to positively shape your practice, increase your ‘tool kit’ and self-belief, develop your service to your clients and pro-actively encourage your own wellbeing too.
