Client Testimonials
Dan says...
“From our first meeting Sarah really made me think about what it was I wanted to do, structuring my goals in a way that I’d never thought of before, helping me focus on the things that really mattered to me and how I could achieve them, ultimately finding the right job for me.”

The weekly sessions reignited a dwindling self-belief and hunger that inspired me to get back on track and find the job I wanted. I had decided to change career path completely, which in itself was totally overwhelming in the fact that I simply didn’t know what to do or how to go about it. Sarah’s pragmatic take on things was a massive help.”
Yvonne says...
“I started having career coaching sessions with Sarah after I had become unhappy and stressed at work and had spent nearly 3 years trying to find another job. Sarah helped me get my CV in shape, feel more confident about myself and my abilities, and provided me with interview techniques, useful websites and sample letters to help me when applying for jobs. Although I still haven’t found another job, this is mainly because I stopped actively looking as things settled a bit at work, but if and when I do decide to start looking again, I will feel more confident and positive about the whole process.”
Peter says...
“When exploring my new career options Sarah was invaluable. By working together we were able to find the right career possibilities and match my interests and skills to specific jobs. I am delighted with my CV, and the advice and experience that Sarah shared with me has given me all the confidence that I need in searching for and applying for new job opportunities.”
Rob says...
“I contacted Sarah after taking time off work due to work stress which had severely incapacitated me. At that time I was unable to think clearly and she helped me to organise my thought with the questions that she brought to our meetings. She helped me to re-evaluate what was important to me and whether I was willing to make the sacrifices needed to achieve what I wished to do with my working life. ”

I always looked forward to meeting with Sarah as she has such an easy to get along with personality and her sessions were always informative. She offered me lots of support during a difficult period in my life. Her positive attitude helped me eventually return to work, resign and seek alternative employment, which has greatly improved my life. I am continuing to work towards my goals that I discussed with Sarah but her practical and emotion support allowed me to make sensible practical decisions as to how to move forward with my life. Thank you Sarah.”
Caroline says...
“Sarah has an upbeat manner and is very positive. It was great to look at my life holistically and then focus down on the areas that I really wanted to improve. I found that the sessions were a pleasurable experience. The sessions provided lots of positive reinforcement and a framework to help me identify the changes I wanted to make. In summary Sarah has enabled me to transform my life and I will be forever grateful.”
Sam says...
“As a result of the coaching with Sarah I have been able to become more organised, with a positive outlook, seriously cut down my alcohol intake and exercise more. These changes have had a major impact on my life and the people around me. When I launch into the next project in my life I will definitely be giving Sarah a call. It was cheaper than gym membership and with much more benefit.”
Lisa says...
“Before I started the coaching I was looking for something that would help me move forward with my business. I defined success as having my own beauty salon and staff. I had been looking at different properties that would be suitable and was frustrated as everything seemed too much money and was unattainable. I could see no way of getting my dream salon so I contacted Sarah expecting her to give me all the answers on how to find the perfect location, shop, staff and how to market my business as well as perhaps conjuring up finance.”

I had the drive and the determination, I just couldn't see where I was going wrong. I was so frustrated at my lack of progress and just couldn't see any other way of doing things. So I went to my first meeting expecting a barrage of questions about marketing and to come away with a plan of action for getting a loan.
What I actually came away with was a totally new way of looking at my life. The first session helped me to see that my life was not just my business and that all the different parts linked to each other and had an impact on each other. My first goal was to do with a friendship issue not my business at all.
The most life changing aspect though was the exercise where I examined my perfect work scenario. After talking it through, I was amazed when Sarah read back a list of points that had come out of what I had said. After choosing my three most important points and relating it back to my dream of owning a salon, it seemed that actually owning a salon would be a chore and not a dream after all.
Until the exercise, I was so focussed on how to get there I never thought if this was really what I wanted. Subsequent sessions seemed to challenge my beliefs in a positive way and at every step of the way the solutions came from me. Not once did Sarah say that I should do this or that I should do that.
Every idea is thought through and it is amazing how Sarah can pick up on the important points and then repeat them back without you realising that you have said them. It was as if I had all the answers I just wasn't able to find them myself.
For years I had struggled with low confidence and could find any excuse for why whatever happened was my fault. I now realise when I have negative beliefs (that hold me back rather than improve my life) and coaching has helped me to deal with them. This has helped with my confidence in a range of different situations.
But the positive impact on my family and relationships has been the biggest surprise for me. I now spend more time and enjoy that time, guilt free, with my family. It was the fact that I wanted to stay at home with my baby that came out during the sessions that altered the way I approached my work life.
I found that coaching is a partnership where the goals, ideas, problems, solutions and ultimately the action comes from you however Sarah's careful questioning and challenging, combined with listening skills tease out the important issues and then together you form an action plan.
It has been an amazing journey. I am now running my business 3 days a week and it is busier than ever. I am enjoying my life more as I feel more confident and I am finally able to do the things that I want to do. I have the tools and the positive attitude to carry on with the changes I have put in place. I know that everything I am doing is because I want to do it and it is going to improve my life or my family's life in some way. All the old limiting beliefs are going slowly and I am looking forward to the future now.
I cannot thank Sarah enough.”
