✦ Authentic ✦
Know Yourself. Trust Yourself. Go After What You Want.
When You Know Deep Down…
Something Needs to Change.
Do you feel like you’ve lost your mojo?
Maybe you’ve lost some of your confidence, or perhaps you’ve spent years second-guessing yourself and never really felt confident in the first place.
Maybe life looks fine from the outside, but something doesn’t quite feel right on the inside.
You feel stuck. A little stagnant. You know you want something to change, but you’re not quite sure what, or even what you actually want.
Here’s the thing about confidence…
There’s a difference between looking confident and actually feeling confident on the inside.
Confidence isn’t about pretending you have it all together or simply acting “as if”.
Real confidence is built from the inside out.
It comes from knowing yourself, accepting yourself and trusting yourself — and making choices that are aligned with what genuinely matters to you.
That’s the work we’ll do in Authentic.
“As I accept myself more fully, I become more creative, more spontaneous, more innovative, more adventurous, more interested in life.” – Carl Rogers
Introducing
Authentic
Confidence-building is an inside job and it starts with self-connection.
Real confidence isn’t about pretending to have it all together. It’s about knowing yourself, accepting yourself and trusting yourself enough to make choices that feel right for you.
When we’re disconnected from ourselves, it’s easy to lose sight of what we actually want. We can end up living according to other people’s expectations, old beliefs and endless “shoulds”.
Self-connection gives you a different starting point.
Authentic is grounded in the psychology of self-connection — the idea that having a strong relationship with ourselves helps us navigate life with greater clarity, confidence and authenticity.
The Self-Connection model identifies three key elements:
Self-Awareness
Recognising and understanding one’s thoughts, feelings, values and behaviours to gain a clear understanding of oneself.
Self-Acceptance
Embracing and accepting all aspects of oneself, including strengths, weaknesses and imperfections, without judgment.
Self-Alignment

Content & Topics Covered
Reconnecting With Yourself
Knowing What Matters
Challenging What Holds You Back
Taking Courageous and Aligned Action
In Authentic, you’ll move from insight into action. Using greater self-awareness, clarity and self-trust to make decisions and choices that feel right for you, you’ll identify what you really want, set meaningful goals and challenge yourself to do things that may feel uncomfortable or a little scary.
The result? You’ll stop second-guessing yourself and waiting for the “right” time, and start making choices that feel genuinely yours, even when they stretch you.
How it works
This 8-week coaching programme consists of 8 x 2-hour group coaching sessions delivered online over eight consecutive weeks. Sessions are semi-structured, highly interactive and focused on application and growth rather than simply absorbing information. You’ll be supported by a small group of like-minded women as you reconnect with yourself, build self-trust and confidence, and take courageous, aligned action.

What Clients Are Saying About Sarah’s Coaching
“I felt I have achieved everything I was looking for; it was a great experience and really gave me the tools to gain back control of my own life. l have really learned to take the time to look after myself physically and mentally- something I have found hard since becoming a mum. Sarah’s approach has helped me more than I ever thought when first starting. After every session I felt so uplifted and motivated. Sarah is fantastic at what she does! Thank you so much for everything. It was so helpful and truly a lovely experience. I learnt more about myself and really learnt how to look after myself and be kinder to myself“
“l 100% achieved the results I was looking for-it was life changing for me. I am more confident in saying no and I view some of my relationships completely differently. I was always putting other people first but I no longer feel that pressure anymore. It was like a weight lifted off my shoulders. I am more relaxed and no longer feel I have to please others (it’s a work in progress). I have changed many habits and working on improving myself which is the result of putting myself first more often. My confidence has definitely increased and I value my time and worth more.”
“I really enjoyed every aspect of this programme with Sarah. So many things were fantastic, from the 1:1 sessions to the group sessions. So many great topics explored and teaching me simply how to live a better life. I've had a huge shift in my mindset and look at everything differntly now. I am delighted that i completed it and will do more in future."
“Sarah has great warmth and compassion combined with a clarity of thought, which is wonderful. She has a depth of knowledge in the area of psychology and wellbeing and a trove of resources to share. This was my first experience of coaching and l was really impressed! I have learned a lot about self- compassion – how important it is and strategies to increase it. l have come to recognise how ‘excessive people pleasing’ as a strategy is no longer useful or appropriate in my life today and I am much better at identifying my own needs and desires and creating space to provide for them. I am proud of having overcome some of my fears. I am proud that am learning to take the ‘to do’ list in my stride. “
“Sarah’s Authentic, Aligned & Empowered course has honestly been life-changing. When I started, I felt a bit broken and was desperate to “fix” myself. But over a few months, I realised, with Sarah’s support, that I didn’t need fixing, I just needed to understand myself better. The course helped me get clear on my values and strengths, and that’s had such a knock-on effect in my life. I’m happier day-to-day, I’ve started a new job that feels like a great fit, and I’m still learning and growing all the time. It’s not just a course, it’s a catalyst for real, lasting, positive change. And not only could I not recommend it more, I genuinely think everyone should have to do it. It should be taught in schools!"
Kelly C.
“I honestly feel huge improvements in my habits and thought processes and more confident in my own judgements. I was very unsure of my decisions and felt a little bit lost but I have gained a lot of clarity in trusting myself more and checking in with what I want. I have really prioritised my self care and doing gratitude journaling and recording what I’m proud of has really improved my mood and outlook. I do things because I want to, not because I feel like I should! I am proud of these changes in myself as I would automatically people please.”
FAQs
“How long before I start seeing results?”
…and answers to other commonly asked questions:
I've never done group coaching before. What can I expect?
Lots of people on the program are in the same boat as you. After the inevitable nerves that precede the first session, it gets a lot easier- and enjoyable! Group coaching is interactive, semi-structured and dynamic. This is not an information-heavy program, but rather, the emphasis is on embodiment, practice and integration of the practices so that compassionate self-acceptance becomes a habit rather than a concept. You can expect to feel inspired and motivated by being part of such a supportive group of women, many of whom are feeling just like you do. The group is small, warm and collaborative and is the perfect environment to grow into yourself!
I’m wondering what the benefits of group coaching are compared to one-to-one coaching. Which will suit me best?
This particular form of personal development coaching lends itself very well to a group setting and a pre-determined curriculum. This is one of the reasons why the program was created- as a way of addressing common needs efficiently for a wider client group.
In group coaching, there are opportunities to learn, connect and gain personal insights which you would simply not get from a one-to-one context. If you are looking for a very tailored approach to your specific context, then this may not be the best option for you. On the other hand, if you are open to a collaborative learning experience, enjoy meaningful connection with others, are willing to grow individually while supporting each other for a fixed period of time, then this may be a great option for you.
I’m not sure that I will be able to attend all sessions. Will I still be able to attend?
This is a live program and full attendance is required in order for you to gain the most from the program. If for some unavoidable reason you cannot attend a session, please notify Sarah in advance. However, missing a session, while sometimes unavoidable, is not ideal and participants are asked to consider their availability carefully before booking.
I’m quite shy and not comfortable speaking in groups. Will this be an issue?
Many participants of the program are naturally shy, introverted or socially anxious. A climate of warmth and respect is created right from the beginning to enable participants to feel safe. It is up to you how much or how little you engage. Generally speaking, participants are encouraged to engage and participate as best as they can.
What is your refund policy?
Once the first session has started, we regret that no refunds will be possible.
