Most of us want to feel connected to our loved ones, feel a sense of calm, be healthy and happy and enjoy being confident so we can pursue our dream with a sense of freedom.

Anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship breakdowns are on the rapid increase. The constant busyness of life, distractions, stress and trauma play havoc within our bodies, zap our creativity and drain our energy let alone our childhood programmes which constantly play out in our lives and relationships.

When you feel tired, worried, overwhelmed and don't have enough time for the important things you love to do life, your life and relationships become difficult. Your dream feels impossible.

The hope is... this can change. Because change is difficult on your own, seeking a professional can really make a difference.

Reach out today we are to help! Investing in yourself and your relationships is the most valuable thing you will ever do.

What is life coaching and why do we need it?

Life coaching is action orientated and focuses on setting future goals, building positive habits and personal development. It focuses on the present and helping to resolve current issues in order for you to gain clarity and a purpose at the same time accelerating personal growth and change. A life coach helps you create your vision and plan for your dream life and supports you to start to move into it. By helping to close this gap from where you are to where you want to be it helps you to create a life which works emotionally, psychologically, physically. With guidance and support over a time period you will uncover your blindspots and gain awareness to develop positive habits and new ways of thinking at the same time helping you break any negative patterns, beliefs and habits which do not serve you. With continued encouragement, accountability and a wealth of resources you will learn, build courage and confidence to step into your positive future and move towards living the life of your dreams.

Whether it is your health, happiness, issues with relationships, money and career, a coach can help and support you towards creating balance and focus to resolve life issues through working closely with your needs and wants.

Making a decision to work with a life or relationship coach is a life saver.

What is Therapy and when do we need it?

Therapy looks at how your past impacts your present and helps repair emotional foundations and resolve emotional distress. It helps strengthen and reassess interpersonal dynamics. When Stress, anxiety, grief or past trauma or any emotional or psycholical issues are interfering with daily life or relationships or work therapy is most beneficial.

Art and Equine therapy bypass "sit down" talk therapy making it highly effective if you find it difficult to articulate your thoughts or are seeking a somatic and non -judgemental way to process trauma or unconscious patterns.

Couples Imago therapy-for a conscious intimate relationship

The Latin word “imago”—meaning “image”—refers to the “unconscious image of familiar love.”

When “core issues” repeatedly come up with a partner, they can overshadow all that is good in a relationship and leave us to wonder whether he or she has chosen the right mate or whether they are compatible. We often start off in romantic love and move to the power struggle as our relationship progresses. We develop a negative pattern or dance in the relationship and this is repeated over and over and we wonder what happened.  We can not seem to break this pattern no matter how much we try. Imago therapy gives hope by helping couples to understand it is incompatibility in relationship which has the potential to create the most growth possible in relationship and in the individual. Couples learn to understand each other’s feelings and “childhood wounds” more empathically, allowing them to heal themselves and their relationships so they can move toward a more “Conscious Relationship.”

During Imago Relationship Therapy, couples learn it is the space in between which needs healing and they learn healing takes place by a new way of speaking to each other called Imago dialogue. This dialogue creates the feeling of being heard in the relationship and brings back trust and respect.

It is through the learning of “Imago Dialogue” the space in between is healed. It is a new way speaking and listening to one another and allows couples to move from blame and reactivity, to a feeling of safety, understanding and empathy, so they can create a deeper and loving connection with each other. This knowledge of dialogue turns conflict to hope.

The Dialogue must also be turned into action. In a conscious relationship we agree to change in order to give our partner what she or he needs. This is a radical idea. Conventional wisdom says that people don’t change, that we should simply learn to accept each other as we are. But without change, there is no growth; we are confined to the fate, to remaining stuck in our unhappiness. Stuck in the power struggle.

An Imago therapist offers a safe space for you to start your journey as a couple and helps and supports you in the Imago process of learning dialogue. The reward is the very romantic love you felt in the beginning yet there is no end.

Art Therapy

Art therapy is a experiential, non-confrontational and gentle approach to work through deep emotions. It is exploring emotions, understanding conflicts and feelings which are causing distress through the process of art, drawing painting and clay modelling. Art provides a wonderful tool to be able to interpret, express and resolve emotions and thoughts and help find resolutions to issues. Using this creative method deep unconscious patterns, trauma and many locked emotions are released to allow for deep healing. Aids in PTSD, anxiety, trauma, depression, conflict, ASD behaviours, grief, relationship issues, psychological concerns. For all ages and very popular with children who find it difficult to open up in a talking office situation.

With many years of experience with art therapy and working with all ages Sarah delivers a very effective programme.

Equine therapy is using the experience of being in the presence of a horse to find access to our own sense of presence. Horses offer an extraordinary opportunity to show us how to become more aware and self-regulate. Being outdoors in nature and listening to an animal of heightened senses allows us to be fully present to who we are. Interacting, connecting and caring for a horse can help people open up emotionally and process painful emotions or resolve difficult issues. Not only is it highly beneficial for healing, it is a wonderful alternative for team building and leadership training and learnings can be taken back to the workplace and applied.

It is an experiential approach and aids in the treatment of personal and psychological concerns and can help in the healing of PSTD, trauma, ASD behaviours, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, stress, ADD and ADHD symptoms, emotional dysregulation, emotional awareness, issues with boundaries, assertiveness, attachment issues, substance abuse and addictions, bullying, relationship issues, self confidence and self worth concerns. Equine therapy offers a therapeutic environment which is less threatening and more inviting than traditional talk therapy office. It is a popular with teenagers and children because the non- confrontational methodology. This valuable time gives an opportunity for people to experience presence intensely and feel into their emotions deeply.

"Horses carry the wisdom of healing in their hearts and offer it to any human who possess the humility to listen"

Testimonial

"I can not recommend Sarah more highly. She really has changed my life. I found her an amazing communicator, so easy to talk to. She listens carefully, understands and really cares. She has a gentle nurturing approach which is nice to experience. I felt fully supported.

Her focus, commitment and engagement to me was incredible. I have attended her workshops and gone through her coaching programmes a few times.

I now know what she kept saying about meditation and mindfulness being life changers. I practise meditation regularly. I am living my life vision and believe it is primarily from Sarahs coaching. When I feel I need a tune up, I have found Sarah available to help."
