About Sarah
Mental Health Coach for Women
I coach women (35–55) who want less overwhelm and more momentum—without burning out. My clients want calmer days, clearer priorities, and the confidence to follow through on what matters at work and at home.
What I help with
Stress management and sustainable energy
Work–life balance and realistic routines
Mental health coaching (non-clinical, future-focused)
Career clarity: promotion, pivot or purpose projects
Gentle accountability that respects your bandwidth
How I work (non-clinical, future-focused)
Coaching with me is practical and compassionate. We get crystal clear on the outcomes you want in the next 30–90 days, then turn them into small, powerful actions that fit your real life (meetings, school runs, deadlines, load-shedding). Sessions blend simple nervous-system regulation (breathing/grounding), habit design, values-led decision tools, and weekly “guardrails” so progress continues even on messy weeks. Between sessions, I offer light WhatsApp check-ins and simple trackers so the next right step is always obvious.

Approach & experience
I draw on a psychology/philosophy background (Rhodes University), ongoing NLP training, leadership coaching tools, and years of supporting people through career transitions, burnout recovery and complex life seasons. I’m trauma-informed and happy to collaborate with your therapist or GP when appropriate. Coaching stays in the “now and next”: clarity, action, accountability.
What clients gain
Calmer mornings and steadier energy
Clear priorities and protected focus
Work–life balance that’s actually sustainable
Real momentum on the goals that matter most
If you’re ready for a turning point, I’ll bring structure, support and smart guardrails. You bring your goals. Together we make them doable.
