★★★★★★★★★★Stephen JamesJun 2026

Very disappointing experience overall. The sessions felt generic and lacked any real structure or personalised approach. Rather than listening carefully to my specific challenges and goals, she seemed to rely on vague, one-size-fits-all advice that offered little practical value. I was hoping for professional guidance tailored to my sporting performance, but the techniques suggested were basic and failed to address the issues I was seeking help with. Communication was poor, and I often left sessions feeling no clearer or more confident than when I arrived. Considering the cost involved, I expected a much higher level of expertise and support. Unfortunately, I saw no meaningful improvement and felt the sessions provided very little value for money. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this psychologist and would advise anyone considering their services to look elsewhere.

Had a recent consultation, but Sarah had no idea what she was on about. She must have been drunk. Would not recommend at all, please look elsewhere.

Sarah provided our undergraduate sport psychology class with a wonderful guest lecture, ‘Mindfulness in Sports Performance.’ Sarah was insightful, energetic, clearly an expert in the subject matter, and gave one of the clearest and most practically valuable accounts of mindfulness and its applicability to performance contexts that I’ve heard. I’d highly recommend Sarah as a guest speaker and to any organisation looking for a consultant to enhance the performance and well-being of their membership through mindfulness. Simply excellent.

Sarah’s advice and support and the practice of mindfulness meditation helped me believe in myself and ultimately become the No1 in England in my age group for Table Tennis. Although I fractured my ankle 6 months ago, rather than having self defeating thoughts, through Sarah’s compassionate meditation techniques, I was able to understand that this was just a challenge that I needed to overcome on route to my quest to become the No1. Through mindfulness meditation Sarah helped me to practice controlled breathing techniques and to become in the present moment, which allowed me to focus on 1 point at a time when I was playing competition which was important when there were tight matches. The techniques I have learnt from Sarah are not solely used in my sport but are easily transferable to all parts of my everyday life. Thank you Sarah for all your help so far! Michele Reeves

Sarah kindly volunteered her expertise and time to teach our Regimental Cycling team about mental resilience. Absolutely incredible lady and clearly a leader in her profession. Thank you so much Sarah

★★★★★★★★★★Adam StrattonApr 2021

Sarah's input has been life changing for two of our teenage children who have struggled with anxiety over lockdown with high performance sport & starting Uni. She has taught them techniques which will continue to serve them throughout their lives. Highly Recommended.

★★★★★★★★★★Jenny ClarkMar 2021

Sarah has an inviting and reassuring approach to sessions and as we explored meditation, I was impressed by her extensive background knowledge and openness to questions. Very professional and I certainly started a great journey into the world of meditation. Thank you.

★★★★★★★★★★Rafael VerdiguierFeb 2021

I have attended the workshop of Sarah about Visualisations and I found it EXTREMELY USEFUL for sports and for any area of your life. With scientific understanding of the effectiveness of the Visualisation and the different kind of Visualisations according with their purpose. I recommend Sarah's service and her trainings; I am just waiting for the next one!!

★★★★★★★★★★Jess PeaceJan 2021

Sarah has really helped me with my tennis mental game and she has played a huge role in my recent tennis successes. She was great at showing me a whole new way of looking into how I think and how I can change my mental game that would work for me. She is such a lovely person who is very dedicated to her patients and Is very good at adapting the way she conveys her knowledge depending on the client. She is a great person to be in contact with and I know she shows such a deep interest and understanding towards people’s sporting struggles and is a very relatable person to speak to!

★★★★★★★★★★Sue AtkinsOct 2020

Sarah has been so helpful to my daughter Lucy who had a riding fall where she and the pony fell through a fence which made her lose her confidence and she was due to be in a final within 3 weeks! she kept visualising the fall each time she approached a fence so Sarah helped to change her mindset which she did in only a few sessions she helped her to focus on the positive and to treat the final just like any other competition. She gave her breathing exercises and talked to Lucy in such a relaxed but confident manner enabling Lucy to create headspace! Sarah was very professional but at the same time has a very friendly and positive approach which enabled Lucy to get to the final with so much more confidence, she did not win but she took part and got round and came out and said ‘I want to do it again’ which was a good sign. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone as she has great knowledge having competed at top level herself and she is so easy to talk to we would certainly use her again and she followed up sessions very well. Thank you again Sarah! Martin, Sue & Lucy
