“By creating a trusting working relationship, I can challenge and support you in making positive behavioural changes to your life. I will not tell you what to do, I act as a guide and catalyst.”

There is a school of thought that says these three questions you should be able to answer in less than 200 words…. here’s mine in 117.

Who am I?

I am Sarah Brearley, I live in SW London with stints in the North of England. I am a change and development coach.

What do I do?

I can unlock your potential by helping you to change thoughts and practices in your professional and personal life. I do this over a series of sessions, questioning your ways of operating and your status quo.

It’s a revealing and challenging experience and I do this work in order to help you find the outcome you are seeking.

Why do I do it?

Because it is incredibly rewarding and a real privilege to witness someone making those positive changes in their life.

I love coaching, I love the difference it makes in people’s lives.

Happiness is the worthiest of all goals.

As your coach, I take you through what seems a relatively simple set of principles and techniques, which when skilfully applied bring subtle and big changes in your outlook and behaviour.

I offer ongoing support to embed new habits and beliefs.

Change is really hard (New Year’s resolutions?!) and all of us, even with the best intentions, find shifting our status quo to be very challenging, which is why support makes a huge difference. Don’t walk alone.

I could help you find the clarity you need.

I specialise in…

First Job Focus

Which of these apply to you?

  • You have recently finished your education and are feeling overwhelmed at the thought of finding a job?

  • You have only vague ideas about where your talents lie and need some assistance in finding a job that suits you?

  • You are very keen to start work but how can you get that elusive first job?

  • You find yourself procrastinating rather than applying for jobs?

  • You are sitting on a pile of rejections?

I am confident I will help you overcome your blockers and it will be a positive and self-affirming process.

Corporate Ruts

Are you at this stage in your career?

  • You are working towards a promotion and need to focus on actionable steps.

  • A new position is causing you to suffer from imposter syndrome

  • There is an ongoing struggle with the conflicting demands of work and family

I act as a neutral sounding board and through a series of techniques and questions, I can help you find some solutions.

  • "Sarah helped me to focus on which areas of work would suit me and set achievable targets for my job hunting which can be very confusing post-Uni. She also advised me on how to format my CV and cover letters, which I think definitely helped me get my new job."

    James T

  • "By talking to me about my past work experiences and my two previous jobs, Sarah helped me to identify where my strengths lie and how to sell those effectively to a new employer. In the end, we only had two sessions as I got the next job I applied for!"

    Freddie M

  • "Sarah has skilfully helped me identify my strengths and shift my perspective, allowing me to focus my energies on confidently applying practical steps towards achieving my goals. This experience has been a game changer and a wonderful experience."

    Alison
