What coaching with me feels like — from those who have been there
These words are shared with permission from people who’ve stepped into bigger roles, rebuilt their confidence, returned to work after leave, or simply found a clearer way to lead.
They show what can happen when you’re given the space to think, be seen, and start trusting yourself and what you already know.
Hannah
CEO of SME
“I worked with Sarah during a pivotal time in my career after being internally promoted into a senior role. I was facing challenges around leadership, self-doubt, and how I was perceived. The coaching felt completely tailored to me. I gained confidence, practical tools, and a better understanding of how to lead in a way that felt authentic. I left feeling empowered and far more equipped to face what was ahead.”
Rachel
Senior Manager, Private Sector
“I walked into coaching unsure if I even deserved the role I’d just been promoted to. Within three sessions, I started seeing myself differently. Sarah didn’t give me the answers — she helped me hear my own voice. Now I lead without constantly second-guessing myself.”

“It wasn’t therapy. It wasn’t fluffy. It was focused, honest — and sometimes uncomfortable. It was exactly what I needed, without knowing I needed it.”
– Focus Coaching Programme Client
“I didn’t think coaching was for someone like me — someone who, on the surface, seemed to be doing fine, but quietly struggled with louder voices in the room. I’m reflective, not showy. But from our first chat, I felt understood. It turned out I was exactly the kind of person Sarah supports.”
