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.

It was absolute bliss! ALL of it. The nourishing food, amazing gob smacking nature, the breathing, the hiking, the dipping, the snoozing, the laughing, the mindset sessions and all the like-minded souls I have met on this journey.
And that all held by the most amazing people on this earth!
I am heart-full and grateful."

Having worked with Sarah for the last six months, it has hands down been the best decision I've ever made in my life! Sarah is so knowledge, inspiring and incredibly supportive. She made each weekly session a fun, structured and truly motivating environment, making you excited for the future. Sarah is a top-class coach and I cannot recommend her enough!"
I chose to study psychology at university for a simple reason — I found it genuinely fascinating. If I was going to dedicate four years to studying something, it had to spark my curiosity and challenge the way I thought.
After completing a BSc in Psychology, I went on to earn an MSc in Sport & Performance Psychology, where theory met practice. Those academic foundations were brought to life through hands-on experience in elite sport, working both nationally and internationally, including with British Equestrian and Olympic and Paralympic athletes.
Alongside my work in performance psychology, my career has always been deeply rooted in the outdoors and adventure. I’m a qualified Mountain Leader, Retreat Host, and Swim Guide, and I’ve spent years leading people in wild, challenging, and inspiring environments. These experiences continue to shape how I work — using nature, movement, and challenge as powerful tools for growth, reflection, and resilience.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve also built and run multiple businesses, learning firsthand what it takes to grow something from the ground up. That journey taught me as much about mindset, pressure, and balance as it did about strategy — insights I now bring into my work with coaching clients, retreats, events, and workshops.

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.
