Testimonials

“I noticed an immediate benefit from the Growth Collective. The time for self-reflection, the safe space, and learning from others made a real difference. I’ve gained a deeper understanding of my strengths and leadership style, built confidence, and realised self-reflection isn’t selfish — it’s essential for growth. It’s not scary — just a group of like-minded people exploring their beliefs and leadership together.”

Ali Miller - Managing Partner - Pizza Pilgrims

I had a wonderful experience. In a world where everyone's a coach, Sarah is absolutely one of a kind. Her ability to hold space for all aspects of my personality, including the messy parts, created a sense of psychological safety. This allowed me to open up far more than I initially expected. From that openness, I discovered so many insights and growth opportunities, enabling me to achieve breakthroughs I never thought possible. I wish everyone could have the chance to experience that, it's incredibly grounding and empowering at the same time.

“Sarah has been a huge support as the organisation and I go through some big changes. This is when coaching is vital and Sarah has been an important part of my managers toolkit. She is the coaches coach and balances professionalism with empathy beautifully. I look forward to working with her again. Thank you Sarah”

Maria Varallo - Founder, Illuminate Charity

“Sarah is an excellent coach. She is incredibly perceptive and gets to the heart of an issue quickly.

She challenges in a beautifully supportive way and her coaching has brought tangible benefits.”

Elizabeth Henegan - Finance Director, Playful Promises

“I love that Sarah nudges and guides me into taking action and responsibility around the challenges we have discussed. I am already seeing the rewards and feel so much stronger and resilient. I am energised to continue on my quest to strengthen my overall ‘work self’ not to mention the knock on effect on my ‘whole self.’ I can’t recommend Sarah enough. Her capacity to empathise, support and challenge whilst making you feel so at ease and comfortable is a wonderful skill. “

Jan Roberts - Director, Commercial and Customer Relationships, BELU

Working with Sarah helped me to separate a lot of my priorities out into buckets and enabled me to focus on the most important. She applied her business knowledge over the years which meant the coaching and mentoring had a lot of value, rather than someone who has come back off some retreat and been enlightened!

I’d recommend Sarah to anyone who is feeling stuck and in a bit of inertia, and also to those who have a bit of an idea of what they want to do next but just not sure how to get to that next stage.

Mark McCulloch - Founder, Supersonic Inc

“Sarah provided me with clarity and helped get me on track. Every session I looked forward to.

I cannot thank Sarah enough. My journey has just started for sure, but I can see the light and a destination.”

Robbie Bargh - Founder, Gorgeous Group

"Coaching with Sarah helped me reset and move forward with clarity. I felt supported whenever I reached out and was challenged in just the right way.

At first, I wondered if Sarah’s operations background would influence the coaching but it didn’t. I felt stuck, doing the same thing every day, unsure how to move forward. Our sessions helped me see it was okay to admit I’d been unmotivated, and that taking time to reflect and prioritise myself was essential.

My mindset shifted. I started to see opportunities instead of obstacles, and I understood that the most important work often starts within. Sarah is reliable, trustworthy, and has a gift for knowing when to push and when to hold space. I always looked forward to our sessions."

"I’d resisted coaching, thinking it wasn’t for introverts - or for me. But working with Sarah has been genuinely life-changing. She supported me through a tricky career transition, helped me build confidence, and clarified what I really wanted from work and life.

Sarah was easy to talk to -zero judgement - and struck the perfect balance of challenge and support. I don’t believe I would have gained the promotion I did without her help."

“Working with Sarah helped me grow both professionally and personally. It challenged me to think differently about myself and my approach, and gave me the confidence to step back, reflect, and lead with more balance.

Sarah has a brilliant way of taking you out of your comfort zone while creating a space where you feel safe to be open and vulnerable. It was a journey I didn’t expect, but one of the most valuable things I’ve ever done.”

Jamie Welch - Retail Business Manager - Mitchells & Butlers

“Being part of the Growth Collective was a lovely experience that gave me space to step away from ‘business as usual’ to reflect and learn from others. The 1:1 session with Sarah and reflective exercises helped me understand different perspectives and develop tangible ways of thinking and working to support my growth. I learned how to overcome a fixed mindset and turn it into a growth mindset, while connecting with others in a space that encouraged openness, accountability, and self-motivation.”

Katie Mortley - Area Operations Manager - WatchHouse

“I gained so much personally and professionally through the Growth Collective. I experienced a real spurt in growth - giving up smoking, adopting a more can-do attitude, changing small habits, and recognising my barriers to connection. I gained critical insights into what nourishes me, what I do well, and how to live and lead more intentionally, in ways aligned with my values and goals. I surprised myself with how much I was able to grow - it really flexed my self-reflection muscles!”

James Togut - Co-Founder - Limin

“It was a great experience and well worth the time and effort. I met amazing people and learned from everyone in the programme. The way Sarah unpacked familiar concepts gave me fresh ideas and a new approach to my day-to-day life. It made me stop and face some hard truths I’d been avoiding by keeping busy, and reminded me that no matter the role or industry, we all share similar challenges. Bringing my true self to the process made it deeply impactful - both personally and professionally.”
