Testimonials:
"Sarah offered safeguarding support and supervision during my time in a high pressured national safeguarding role, and was incredibly helpful, challenging, supportive, connected, and worked alongside me to find solutions to complex situations. Sarah’s approach helped me to push through some important developments and to reflect on why some things are so challenging. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with Sarah and the way she challenges is so supportive and important. Her challenge can be both discrete and direct, always from a motivated, meaningful, helpful intent that feels holding, containing, solution focused, and always provides what is needed. That can be planned and practical, or unplanned and dealing with “in the moment” needs. Sarah is somebody supportively challenges your assumptions to enable positive and meaningful change, and holding safety at the core of everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sarah or to engage her incredible service and support again”.
