Hi there, I’m Sarah!
Through psychology, coaching and adventure, I help individuals and organisations navigate change, overcome challenges, and achieve sustainable high performance. Whether through one-to-one coaching, leadership development, wellbeing workshops or immersive retreats, my approach creates the space to think more clearly, reconnect with what matters, and move forward with confidence.

“I worked with Sarah to structure and grow my coaching business while maintaining a healthy work–life balance. Her unique blend of business coaching, wellbeing, and accountability pushed me just enough for real growth.
Since working together, I have a clear plan, renewed motivation, and more confidence in my results - achieving maximum impact for my clients without burning out. Sarah’s support has been transformative for both my business and how I live.
She is a true game-changer.”

"It was a truly incredible week and something that will stay with me forever. I've not laughed so much in a long time. A week dedicated to myself, surrounded by beautiful places, wonderful people, moments of stillness, and the most incredible food."
joanne withers, retreat guest
"A transformative retreat that helped me reconnect with myself, gave me confidence I'd forgotten I had, and reminded me to prioritise my own wellbeing. Every detail, from the hikes and cosy accommodation to the food and coaching, was exceptional."
I chose to study psychology because I’ve always been fascinated by what makes people think, feel, and perform the way they do. After completing a BSc in Psychology, I went on to earn an MSc in Sport & Performance Psychology before beginning a career supporting people to perform under pressure and navigate change.
Since then, I've worked across elite sport, business, and leadership, supporting Olympic and Paralympic athletes, professionals, entrepreneurs, and teams to build confidence, resilience, and sustainable high performance. Alongside my coaching, I work within the UK high-performance sport system, helping athletes develop their careers beyond sport.
Adventure has always been just as important to me as psychology. As a qualified Mountain Leader, Wim Hof Method Instructor, and Swim Guide, I've seen firsthand how time in nature creates the space to think more clearly, recover more effectively, and reconnect with what matters. That's why the outdoors is woven into so much of my work.
I've also built and run my own businesses, so I understand the realities of balancing ambition with wellbeing. It's this combination of psychology, practical experience, and adventure that shapes everything I do through Big Sky.

I launched Big Sky Adventures, hosting wellbeing retreats in the Isle of Skye and the Lake District. Bringing together adventure and mindset coaching, it’s incredible to witness the huge transformations that happen in the guests over just a few days.
Alongside Olympic Performance Psychologist Charlie Unwin, I co-founded Centre10, a consultancy delivering sport psychology training to equestrian coaches and riders. Working with Charlie was great fun and inspired me to set up my own coaching business.

2026
Alongside my role with the UK Sport Institute (UKSI) as a Careers Specialist I now focus on one-to-one coaching as well as hosting workshops and retreats.
I live near Brighton with my partner Laurie and our two cocker spaniels, and you’ll usually find me running the South Downs, sea swimming, or heading off on a campervan adventure in Europe!
I guide ambitious individuals - from business owners and professionals to those seeking their next chapter - through an integrated approach delivered via coaching, retreats, events, and workshops. My work blends proven performance strategies, mindset development, and holistic performance coaching to support sustainable growth, clarity and wellbeing.
