  • Before I started working with Sarah, I had completely lost my confidence at work. I’d stopped paying attention to what I actually wanted from my career or where I was heading, and I felt disconnected from my sense of direction. Through our work together, I’ve regained confidence in my abilities and, importantly, in myself. Sarah helped me reconnect with my “why”, which brought real clarity. I feel grounded again and back on track, with a much stronger sense of purpose and direction. The impact of Sarah’s coaching has been genuinely transformative. It reminded me of my own capability, helped me rebuild self-belief, and gave me the confidence to take positive steps forward.

  • Coaching with Sarah has helped me unlock a different way of applying my energy across the working week. Typically, I found it difficult to say ‘no’ to requests, usually to the detriment of my own time and happiness. Now, I’m more consciously managing my own time and the expectations of peers – this has enabled me to confidently consider myself and my own time, rather than putting the needs of others first. If you’ve not considered coaching before, you should certainly give it a try – it’s possible that you’ll already have the answers you’re looking for, but coaching with Sarah gave me a credible perspective that my own advice should indeed be taken.

    Jake, Agency Account Director

  • As an introvert, I often feel hesitant to open up, but Sarah creates such a comfortable space that I truly feel I can be myself during our sessions. She challenges my thought process in a way that helps me uncover blind spots I hadn’t considered.

    A, Hello Fresh

  • Sarah gave me a chance to explore my options in a safe and non-judgemental way at a time when I was looking at where to go next in my career. She listened, asked questions and helped me rediscover an inner confidence in my own abilities and experience. I would totally recommend Sarah as a coach.

    Caroline Richardson, Head of PR & Comms

  • I had trouble dealing with standard interview and job application routines, and being able to frame my skills and mindset as a strength that could be understood by people with different approaches to work. It was refreshing to speak with someone who could appreciate my viewpoint as a person with introvert tendencies, and who could offer methods and tools to navigate the professional world.

  • Sarah’s coaching sessions are like a little gift to yourself, a way to gain self awareness beyond the limits you were able to reach on your own. By asking the right questions, through careful listening and thanks to a gifted empathy, Sarah is taking you on a journey to discover yourself, every question one step deeper.

    Kasia Cortes-Gebala, Head of Marketing

  • Sarah is a natural coach. She has the right combination of ‘reassuring and friendliness’ that allows you to relax and trust her; and ‘expert and professional’, that gives you the extra level of confidence that you are in very capable hands. She puts you at ease from the beginning and it allows you to open and dig deep into yourself to be able to fully leverage the coaching experience.

    Caterina Bonfiglio , Learning & Development Director

  • Having coaching sessions with Sarah has been a magical journey of finding myself, like being led by someone with a torch to explore your inner thoughts. Along the journey, I have identified and removed imaginary obstacles I recreated for myself, which I was not even aware of before. Sarah’s coaching leaves no trace during the session but always has a profound impact afterward. Her coaching style makes you feel like being with a trusted old friend.

    Audrey Qin, Brand Manager

  • Through our sessions, I've gained greater clarity, purpose, and confidence. I've emerged from our time together feeling more empowered and equipped to navigate my professional journey. Thanks to Sarah, I now possess renewed energy and self-belief. I would recommend Sarah to anyone in search of coaching and mentoring that is both supportive and grounded in real-world applicability.

    Steve K

  • I was in need of a career change and had no idea where to start. After working with Sarah I am excited to be embarking on a new career path and feel confident about my decisions. It is easy to connect with Sarah because she is such an empathetic person, and is able to ask tough questions in a way that is kind and reassuring. I was able to explore my relationship with work in a way that I could never have managed on my own.

Your Questions, Answered

  • Because I genuinely understand what it’s like to be an introvert in workplaces that reward the loudest voices. I spent two decades figuring out how to succeed in ways that suited my strengths and my energy.

    I trained with two of the UK’s leading coaching schools and now bring together professional coaching, lived experience, and a deep understanding of introversion to support others on their career journey.

    I care about helping introverts avoid the pitfalls I faced, find confidence in their own voice, and build careers that feel good. I even wrote a book about it!

  • My approach is mostly coaching-led, which means our sessions focus on what matters most to you. You choose the goals, I create a supportive space for you to explore them.

    I’ll help you spot your strengths, untangle challenges from new angles, and stretch yourself just enough to grow but never to overwhelm.

    When it’s helpful, I can also bring in light mentoring: sharing experiences from my own career so you can see what’s possible and decide what might work for you.

  • Anyone who wants to develop confidence, navigate change, or move forward in their career will benefit.

    I often work with people who are:

    • starting a new role

    • stepping into leadership

    • navigating tricky team dynamics

    • feeling stuck or overlooked

    • wanting more confidence in high-pressure situations

    • preparing for interviews or promotion

    You don’t need a fixed goal to start, you just need the sense that something could be better.

  • Not at all. While many of my clients are introverts, anyone is welcome.

    If my approach resonates and you want a calmer, more thoughtful space to figure things out, we’ll be a good fit.

  • Common themes clients tell me they gain:

    • greater confidence

    • more clarity

    • feeling calmer and more in control

    • practical tools for tricky conversations and situations

    • the courage to take the next step

    Coaching isn’t a magic wand—you’ll get the most from it by reflecting between sessions and putting new ideas into practice. But you won’t be doing it alone. I’ll support you every step of the way.

  • The programs give us a clear framework to start from, but they’re not rigid. Every client brings different goals, strengths, and challenges, so we shape the sessions around what you need.

    Think of the programmes as a guide rather than a script: they provide structure, but the pace, focus, and depth are tailored to your personality, energy, and situation.

    If you’re not sure which programme fits, we can talk it through in an introductory call.

  • My pricing varies depending on whether you’re booking as an individual or through your organisation. Individual coaching and corporate coaching have different structures, levels of support, and requirements, so I provide tailored pricing for each.

    If you’d like an estimate, just get in touch. I’m always happy to outline options so you can decide what feels right for your goals, budget, and timing.
