Testimonials
Sara's coaching was incredibly helpful.
She gave me practical tips and methods to protect and improve my voice as well as a better understanding of how breathing can affect projection and control. This is especially useful for anyone working in the broadcast journalism industry.
Her calm and kind approach made each session enjoyable and tailored to my needs. I would highly recommend working with her.
The awareness Sara brought to my own body language, voice and communication skills has helped me in all kinds of situations both in and out of the workplace.
Sara’s kind and calm approach in our sessions made me feel very at ease. She created a space where I felt listened to and validated.
Sara has brought to light factors I have never considered before in my own skillset and gave me tools to effectively improve my skills.
I would really recommend Sara to anyone looking to improve their communication skills.
I was always self-conscious of my lisp and finally decided to take action and make changes. I am so happy I decided to book in sessions with Sara and noticed changes quickly. My only regret is putting it off for so long!
I was really nervous about my university interview. I booked in sessions with Sara to help me feel as prepared and confident going into it.
I learnt so much about all of the ‘good stuff’ I’m doing already and how to do more of this. We also worked on the areas which could make me ‘even better’ and practised these in functional scenarios.
I also got my university place
The personalised communication skills assessment was very insightful. I learned so much about my own style of communicating and the areas I needed to work on (my expression and pace of talking!) to really refine my presenting style. The sessions were always tailored to what I needed and fitted around my schedule easily.
Working with Sara has single-handedly improved my confidence. Her patient and supportive approach along with her focus on small, manageable steps helped transform my speech. I no longer struggle with my pronunciation. It’s all thanks to Sara’s guidance and expertise. I am truly grateful for the incredible progress I’ve made.
Sara’s sessions were more beneficial than I imagined.
She helped me understand how things like breathing properly could help my [voice] projection and my mindset.
She has a calming, personable demeanour and always caters sessions towards my individual needs.
I would definitely recommend her.
Sara deploys her experience across multiple therapeutic disciplines in creative and ingenious ways to help me navigate high-pressure speaking engagements and reflect on challenges to come in a more productive way.
She excels as a communications coach because she knows how to dig deeply into what fears and personal barriers might be limiting my performance.
She takes a holistic approach to my needs in this space which means I feel supported as a whole person and no matter how busy I am I always make time for our sessions together because I look forward to them so much!
