You are here to be yourself, to live a full and caring life.

Welcome to this site! Based in Auckland, New Zealand, I am a life and career coach and counsellor working in private practice. I am committed to helping people break free of limiting beliefs, clarify what they truly want and be empowered to achieve their goals.  

The fact that you are here reading this means you are looking for life and/or career guidance. This is an exciting point for you to reach because it means, no matter what your current circumstances are, you are ready to commit to your own learning, development and growth. 

Here are some of the reasons clients want to work with me:

• They have hit a roadblock, are feeling a bit lost and uncertain about things in general and need understanding to clarify next steps.
• They recognise that they can be and do more and are looking to empower themselves.
• They acknowledge a repetitive pattern in their work/life challenges and are ready to learn and transform their career and their life.
• Their corporate role has been disestablished and they need to move on to a new and better role.
• They are a small business owner ready to expand and need deeper self-awareness and business coaching to do so.
• They want to be a better leader and need coaching, guidance and skills development.

I strongly subscribe to the notion that if you "give a person a fish you feed them for a day; but teach a person to fish and you feed them for a lifetime". I provide you with carefully tailored support and guidance and skills development that will serve you well for the rest of your life. 

I would love to work with you.

Best Wishes,
Sarah

What are you looking for?

This is the first question I ask my clients and it is usually not an easy question to answer. My own career has evolved through several iterations as I have learned and gradually grown into my own skin. I am driven by a love of ideas, like truth, beauty and integrity, living my own path, and constantly striving to achieve more than I thought I was capable of, not just for myself but to be an example for my family. So far it has been a colourful, often exciting and fulfilling journey with many peaks and troughs that have taught me courage, resilience and some wisdom. All this I also hope for my clients and I love seeing people have great personal insights, grow and achieve their own goals.

For over a decade I worked solely with corporate clients. Since 2019, with the onslaught of the pandemic, I tend to work privately and have my coaching practice in Herne Bay, Auckland. Largely though, I provide coaching and counselling online using Microsoft Teams and Zoom.
