Client Stories
I've supported hundreds of LGBTQIA+ people to build confidence, navigate identity and life transitions, reconnect with what matters to them, and create lives that feel more like their own.
Here's what some of them say about working with me...
Amanda, she/her
I came to see Sarah for a couple of reasons. As a late-in-life lesbian, I was struggling with identity and figuring out who I was, where I came from, how I got here, and why. I didn’t feel able to express my truth until this later period in my life, and I was experiencing a lot of internalised homophobia.
Sarah helped me to very quickly gain a better understanding of myself by uncovering the blocks and limiting beliefs I was holding on to. The work I did with Sarah helped me expand my life and my work. Instead of just showing up and ticking the boxes, Sarah helped me to rebuild my idea of who I am and how I can show up in this world by aligning with my authentic self.
I’ve changed so much through our work together. I feel so much more stable and confident in who I am and what my purpose is.
Brinny, they/them
"What makes Sarah unique is her ability to combine extensive corporate and life experience with a deep understanding of queer work and business realities. She'll help you create a sustainable life and career without the risk of burnout and will continue to support and champion you long after your sessions are over! Her guidance helped me get realistic about my work, ensuring it was not only aligned with my values but also sustainable and viable. Before our sessions, I often found myself giving away too much, but Sarah helped me create a more balanced and realistic business model. Her coaching style is incredibly supportive and inspiring, and she helped me feel motivated and confident in my path forward."
Sharon, she/her
They say that sometimes in life the right person comes along at the right time - Sarah, for me, is that person.
I have gained so much from having coaching sessions with Sarah and am very thankful for the opportunity. I am benefiting from having a safe space in which I can reflect and talk, and be asked questions nobody else asks, which makes me think about things differently and move towards feeling better in myself and making clearer decisions and plans.
Sarah is a professional, solid, empathic, and insightful woman who is very easy to spend time with. If you are wondering whether to get in touch with her, my answer would be a definite yes!
Caz, she/her
"I really like the way Sarah combines practical business acumen with a heart-centred, values-driven approach. It was important for me to feel fully aligned in my actions, and she supported me to achieve this. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I appreciated Sarah’s commitment to inclusivity and non-judgment. She goes out of her way to champion members of our community, and I’d highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone in their corner through significant work, business, or life challenges."
Annemieke, she/her
“I had completely lost the joy in life. I had become caught up in a career that was taking me further and further away from being me. I had lost myself to work, duty and commitments. I wasn't happy, but I was busy being busy.
Working with Sarah helped me find a new perspective, understand myself better, and reconnect with what was important to me. She made me think more deeply and gently challenged me to explore whether I was really where I wanted to be.
Our work together helped me tap into my creativity again and reconnect with the core of who I am. I became clearer about how I wanted to live — with authenticity, curiosity, creativity, simplicity and pleasure — and began to trust myself again.
I now have a clear sense of purpose and a fabulous future to engage in. I know I'm absolutely worth living my best life possible.”
Leo, he/him
