Client Reviews

Client feedback demonstrates my ability to engage with people in a friendly, warm, caring way, underpinned by coaching skills, tools, techniques, an understanding of climate issues, a sprinkling of humour, a touch of spirituality and challenge - in a confidential, supportive, non-judgemental way.

'Sarah Mumford is an excellent Head, Heart & Soul coach & I highly recommend her services! I found Sarah to be warm and caring, insightful and present. I had the blessing of working with Sarah through a very difficult time personally while also going through the challenge of creating a purpose-led enterprise in a different country. Her coaching was fundamental to achieving my personal & business goals. Thank you Sarah!' - client

'I find you to be very easy to talk to, you have a warm demeanour, but with an edge of authority which is easy to respect as you are very generous about your own experiences of life. I find that you come very well planned to each session, and are good at bringing the conversation back to the original point, which is good for someone like me who can often steer off into different directions. You are patient, and adaptable and I do feel very comfortable talking to you' - client

'Sarah is a friendly coach who listened to my ideas and issues in a balanced way. She gave me a safe space to explore my future and helped me by prodding me into action after at least eight years of indecision about my future' - client

'Sarah has helped me to clarify the scope of my (start-up) consulting offer – narrowing down the many ideas and avenues to the areas that best align with my core values.  It has been very valuable to have Sarah to question, challenge and support my decision-making process – I now feel more confident in my next steps and as a result, better able to support my clients' - client

'Sarah is skilled in holding the thread of the story throughout which she does through clarifying and summarising.  She ‘celebrate the wins’ and helps clients see the positives in their experience and gain fresh insight. She ensures forward momentum and a sense of how clients can use their learning going forwards' - Trainer
