Association for Coaching

Self-Developmental

We'll start where you are and I'll support you to get to where you want to be, helping you to clarify and achieve your goals while prioritising your wellbeing. I specialise in life transitions and based on my own life experience offer support for people facing, or going through, the following:

  • retirement (finding purpose in life after regular paid work)
  • redundancy (finding the positives after the shock, making decisions and acting on next steps to new paid roles) 
  • relocation (thinking through the impact on yourself, friends, family and planning practicalities) 
  • menopause (identifying and seeking support and self-help for symptoms)
  • lone parenting (re-claiming the role in a positive way and identifying the many benefits)
  • empty nest syndrome (find pleasure and happiness in life once the child/children have flown the nest)
  • sexual re-orientation (finally following your true identity and all that that entails)

 

Person-centred Coaching

Helping people create lives that are fulfilling, values-led and sustainable—for themselves and for the world around them. I trained in whole person coaching and take a human-centered approach. I will build a relationship with you that nurtures your growth as a whole person—professionally and personally.

Environmentally Conscious

I am passionate about acting on climate change and am especially pleased to offer coaching for professionals similarly driven - supporting you to be your best as you continue to make an impact where it matters most.

Here’s what my clients say.......

'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

'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

'I am really overjoyed to have the coaching rapport we have! I feel I have someone who ‘has my back’ and can relate enjoyably to the challenges and successes. It’s nice to laugh as well as address challenges' - 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

'I worked with Sarah at a transitional phase of my life, when I wanted to explore some of the obstacles to my professional success. Sarah helped me see what stories I was telling myself about my worth and supported me to create some overview in my work practice. This helped me see better where to put my energy and what had to go. It also gave me the courage to take a big next step and start writing the book I have been working on for nearly a decade. Highly recommended!' - 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

None

' I feel high levels of professional integrity and trust which enables me to be open, honest and authentic during sessions.
I value your input, guidance and perspectives on my challenges and opportunities' - client

'Sarah is a fantastic coach.  She has a very warm and open approach to her work and provided me with many reflections and insights that helped me realise and achieve goals. No matter how big or small these were, she was always willing to listen, explore options, outcomes, hopes and dreams with a warm hearted enthusiasm and drive. Sarah clearly loves her job and that helps too'.- client
