AS FEATURED IN
Do you maintain a professional image and are recognized for your confidence, but inside, you feel full of self-doubt and like your inner critic is getting in the way of your career success?
Am I right in saying this?
- You're worried that your inner critic might undermine your ability to handle the demands of a new role, promotion, or company restructuring, leaving you at risk of burnout or sacrificing your well-being and relationships.
- You often feel anxious about your performance and fear you won’t meet the next deadline, despite always doing so successfully.
- You play the "Good Girl" at work; say "yes" to everything, apologize unnecessarily, strive for perfection, avoid conflict, and prioritize others at your own expense, all while hesitating to set boundaries or speak up for yourself.
- You worry your work isn’t good enough and fear being criticized, even when receiving praise from others.
- You tend to dismiss positive feedback, thinking people are just being polite or not seeing the real flaws in your work.
- You might feel deeply hurt by criticism, doubting your abilities, even though you outwardly appear to handle it well.
- You fear making mistakes and doubt your solutions are the best, even though you are an effective problem-solver.
- You feel uncomfortable in leadership roles, worrying you’re not capable or deserving.
- You feel intense internal stress and self-doubt, even though you appear composed and effective under pressure.
- You feel insecure and uncertain about your decisions, fearing you’ll make the wrong choice.
- You feel isolated and unsupported, believing you must maintain a façade of confidence and professionalism at all times.
- You often feel like an impostor, doubting your abilities and fearing you’ll be exposed as incompetent, despite performing tasks instinctively and competently.
- You don't have a personal brand at work, and you have no idea how to position yourself in your new role.
You are worried that the presence of your inner critical voice and self-doubt will become the limiting factor to your success...
YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE
IN MY 10+ YEARS AS A COACH, I'VE WORKED WITH THOUSANDS OF PROFESSIONAL WOMEN WHO HAVE SIMPLY NEVER FELT AS CONFIDENT ON THE INSIDE AS THEY LOOK ON THE OUTSIDE.
My name is Sarah. I'm a TEDx speaker and executive & confidence coach.
Work (and life) can feel like an endless obstacle course—and some days, it’s like someone moved the finish line. Feeling insecure, full of doubt, or overwhelmed? I’ve been there too. The good news? You don’t have to stay there.
For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of coaching thousands of professional women who’ve faced those same challenges. They came to me feeling stuck and exhausted by their inner critic. And together, we proved that change isn’t just possible—it’s powerful.
My approach isn’t your typical “rah-rah cheerleading” session. Using my signature C.A.R.E Model (that’s Career Advancement through Resilience and Education, in case you’re wondering), we’ll quiet your inner critic—the one who’s always got something to say—and replace it with a kinder, more empowering voice (that’s yours).
We’ll also uncover your Personal Brand of Professional Confidence—the stuff that makes you, well, YOU. Forget cookie-cutter strategies; this is about owning your unique strengths, quirks, and everything in between. By the end, you’ll have a clear roadmap to show up authentically and unapologetically in your career.
So, if you’re ready to turn self-doubt into self-assurance, anxiety into calm, and insecurity into a confidence you can stand on, then you’re in the right place. Let’s make the journey fun, transformative, and, most importantly, all about YOU.
On the outside, does it appear that you have it all: a great job, a confident image, and a brilliant collection of accomplishments? But on the inside, you are drowning in doubt and insecurity.
DO YOU WANT TO LEARN ACTIONABLE STEPS TO HELP YOU REGAIN CONTROL AND CONFIDENCE? HOW WOULD IT FEEL TO...
- You want to take control of your negative thoughts, moving away from feeling consumed by your inner critic and replacing it with supportive and encouraging self-talk
- You want to learn how to break free from the shackles of people-pleasing, over-apologizing, and perfectionism at work.
- Calm your thoughts, sleep better, and wake up feeling energized every morning.
- Have more time for your hobbies? Imagine finally having the space to enjoy the things you love, whether it's painting, hiking, or playing an instrument. Learn to balance your schedule so your passions aren't pushed aside.
- Imagine striking the perfect balance between your career and personal life. Picture a life where you excel in your professional endeavours without sacrificing your well-being, creating harmony and fulfilment in every aspect of your life.
- You want to truly see and believe in your strengths and accomplishments, feeling as confident in yourself as others already do.
- You want to be able to take on feedback without feeling like you’re being judged or torn down.
- You want to trust your skills and decisions, freeing yourself from the constant cycle of overthinking and self-doubt.

HOW? THE ANSWER IS EASY...
It's time to lower the volume on your inner critic and turn up the volume on your confidence.
My Career Confidence and Clarity Coaching Programme is your opportunity to finally see yourself as the confident, capable professional everyone else already knows you are. This one-on-one coaching experience is designed to help you silence the negative self-talk, ditch the doubt and get to the root of what’s really holding you back. Through my simple C.A.R.E Model and a clear process to find direction when you feel lost, we’ll uncover the confidence that’s already inside you—it just needs the right tools and support to shine. You’ll walk away with practical strategies and real-world solutions to handle challenges and show up as the fearless, empowered version of yourself.
And don’t worry, this isn’t your typical coaching program. I bring a mix of humor, authenticity, and energy to every session, so even the heavy stuff feels approachable and empowering. We’ll laugh, we’ll get real, and we’ll tackle whatever’s been holding you back—together.
You Are Not Alone...
According to a report by KPMG International, Mind The Gap, "Effective leadership is not only grounded in individual competence, but also
confidence in the ability to speak up, share their own point of view, make sound decisions and act in the right way at the right moment. It is clear that confidence plays a key role in many aspects of a person’s career journey and trajectory.." "Gone are the days of heads-down working and hoping you will get recognized."
"CONFIDENCE IS A LEADERSHIP TRAIT".
My C.A.R.E model—Challenge Your Inner Critic, Adopt Self-Compassion, Reconnect with Your Values, and Embrace Continuous Learning—provides a structured approach to overcoming the inner critical voice and fostering confidence, resilience and empathy in your career. By applying my principles, you can enhance your personal and professional growth, leading to greater career advancement. This empathetic approach can create a supportive, inclusive environment that fosters personal growth and resilience.
Generic, one-size-fits-all confidence training, self-help books, and podcasts don't address the root of the problem.
Your lack of clarity and confidence is unique to you, and it needs a personally tailored approach that will take into account your unique circumstances, fears, strengths and more.
THE ACTION OF CONFIDENCE COME FIRST, AND THE FEELINGS OF CONFIDENCE COME SECOND. FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, YOU NEED SUPPORT, GUIDANCE, ACCOUNTABILITY AND A COACH WITH EXPERIENCE!
In my approach, you're at the centre of everything we do. Together, we'll create a strategy to help you overcome doubts and build confidence. To make this happen quickly and effectively, you need a coach with experience. I bring over ten years of coaching experience and four years as a project manager at one of Ireland's top universities. This background has helped me develop a proven method for quieting your inner critic and uncovering the confidence that's always been within you.
THE OLD METHODS LEAD TO
FRUSTRATION AND A LOSS OF HOPE THAT THINGS WILL EVER IMPROVE
1. TRYING ALL THE THINGS BUT FINDING NO LONG-TERM OR MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCES
You might experience a temporary boost in your confidence and a tiny bit of hope that things are starting to take shape, but all it takes is one bad night's sleep, a critical word from your boss or a tough conversation with your colleague for all your hard work to unravel and to feel like you are right back where you started.
2. CONSTANTLY BEATING YOURSELF UP FOR BEING THE WAY THAT YOU ARE AND FEELING LIKE YOU ARE A LOST CAUSE
When you think about it, like really think about it, you realise that you might be your own worst critic and the reason why you aren't where you want to be or doing what you need to do! Instead of getting the right kind of support, you start to think that maybe this is just the way things are always going to be, and you start to feel a little hopeless and even more full of doubt and insecurity than ever before.
3. BELIEVING THAT YOU’LL FINALLY FEEL WORTHY OF YOUR POSITION IF YOU JUST COMPLETE ONE MORE COURSE, READ ANOTHER BOOK, OR LISTEN TO YET ANOTHER PODCAST.
Relying on yet another CPD course to solve your challenges won't get you where you need to be if you don't feel enough just as you are. True leadership success comes from within, and confidence is a crucial leadership skill that must be invested in and nurtured. Instead of searching for external solutions, it's time to focus on building the self-assurance that drives effective leadership from the inside out.
There Is A Better Way; A Proven Way.
Using my signature C.A.R.E model, I will guide you through 4 key steps that will help you to ditch the doubt and escape the grip of your nagging inner critical voice in just 12 weeks or less.
THE 4 STEPS YOU'LL TAKE IN CAREER CONFIDENCE AND CLARITY ™️ ARE:
#1
Challenge Your Inner Critic
Discover how to challenge the validity of your inner critical thoughts by gently and non-judgmentally pushing back against them.
#2
Adopt Self-Compassion
Discover the life-changing role that self-compassion plays in helping you turn the volume down on your inner critic and unleash your confidence.
#3
Reconnect With Your Values
Discover unwavering clarity by reconnect with your personal and professional values.
#4
Embrace Continuous Learning
Discover your 'Unique Brand of Professional Confidence' and create CAREER-DEFINING CONFIDENCE.
I already have the plan—you just need to follow it. Together, we’ll quiet your inner critic and replace it with real self-belief and unshakable confidence, step by step. With my support (and a few laughs along the way), you’ll bring self-compassion and trust into your life without adding more stress to your plate. This programme is perfect for someone in a busy, high-pressure role who needs clear guidance and practical tools that fit seamlessly into their life. Many of my clients say they feel instantly at ease working with me, grateful for the safe, relatable space I create—and they often wish they'd started sooner.

Is My Career Confidence and Clarity Coaching Programme Right For You?
I work with executives and managers, typically in their late 30s and beyond, who are in high-pressure industries like finance, law, medicine, and education. They’re often mid-level or moving into executive roles, or they’re already at the executive level. These women have worked hard to get where they are, but despite their success, they struggle with a cruel and unrelenting inner critic, self-doubt and overthinking. They want to feel more confident, clear about their next steps, and in control of their careers, while also finding balance in their personal lives.
My programme is for you if ...
- You are mid-level or moving into executive roles, or already at the executive level.
- You crave support, accountability and dedicated focus and attention.
- You are ready to gain the clarity and confidence you need to accomplish your goals.
- You have tried mindfulness meditation, journalling and even therapy, but nothing has given you the results you want or need.
- You need time for yourself, away from the chaos that is your life and for someone to hold a safe space for you to work on yourself.
- You want to stop standing in your way and achieve the success and confidence you have dreamed about.
My programme is not for you if ...
- You are at a junior or entry-level position.
- You’re looking for an overnight solution. Sadly, there are no quick fixes when it comes to this.
- You’re not really ready to face the hurdles that are holding you back.
- You want to do it alone, without the help and support of an experienced and expert coach.
WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING
The Investment
With my tailored guidance, unwavering support, and a good dose of humor to keep things real, I’ve seen clients make jaw-dropping transformations. Imagine this: stepping into an executive role where you belong, or leading with ease and confidence—all without the usual anxiety, overthinking, or that pesky inner critic holding you back. This isn’t just career growth; it’s stepping into your power, and it’s not for everyone.
Here’s the thing—investing in yourself might feel a bit bold, but bold is exactly where the magic happens. Picture a single victorious salary negotiation or a strategic career move bringing you a return 10 times over. That’s the kind of transformation we’re talking about here. This isn’t a cookie-cutter programme; it’s an exclusive opportunity to work with someone who gets it. If you’re ready to stop playing small, ditch the self-doubt, and step into your career with clarity, confidence, and a whole new energy, this is your moment. Let’s make the kind of change that turns heads and opens doors.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I've got A's for your Q's
What are your qualifications and experience?
I am a fully qualified Life, Executive & Career Coach. I have trained in mindfulness, fitness and coaching with neuroscience. I hold a B.A in Politics and Philosophy and an M.A in Human Rights. In my work, I infuse coaching with psychology to get a complete and holistic understanding of your life (including your needs, desires, fears and goals). I leverage my ten years of coaching and research in psychology and professional development to help you find clarity, confidence and certainty in life.
Will there be things I can do or should do between sessions?
Yes. And to make this as straightforward for you as possible, I will give you simple pieces of homework for you that are relevant to your goals.
Why six sessions?
This is how we ensure you’ll experience lasting, meaningful and sustainable results. If, after six sessions, you would like to continue working together, I will invite you to join my 3-month Accountability Programme.
How can you help me with my specific challenges?
I specialize in working with professional women in high-pressure industries who struggle with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, inner critical thoughts and overwhelm. My unique C.A.R.E framework (Career Advancement through Resilience and Education) helps you develop the tools to gain clarity, build resilience, and approach your career with compassion and confidence. We’ll work together to address your specific challenges, ensuring that you not only manage your inner critic but turn it into a source of strength.
What makes your coaching approach different?
My coaching blends a practical, no-nonsense approach with compassion and humour. I help you not only understand but work with your inner critic, instead of trying to silence it. We’ll focus on building a sustainable mindset shift, where you’ll feel both supported and pushed to grow, all while staying true to your authentic self.
I don’t have the confidence to do this course even though I would really like to.
The first step (with anything) is always the scariest! You don’t need to be 100% confident to start my programme… you don’t even need to be 1% confident to start! You just have to want it badly enough that you are prepared to act even though you feel fearful. During this programme, I can help you understand your fear and empower you to change your relationship with it so that you are in control of your life.
I really like the sound of what you offer, but I don’t think coaching will work for me!
Maybe it’s not for you, but you know what’s DEFINITELY NOT for you? Playing small and lacking the confidence to take up space, saying “'I'll apply next year” as you wave goodbye to yet another opportunity for a promotion at work or comparing yourself to your colleagues and you wondering where you went wrong.
What happens if I want more than six sessions?
If you would like to continue working together after the six sessions, you will be invited to join me on my Accountability Programme.
How will we measure my progress?
To keep you on track, we'll have weekly check-ins and utilize progress forms to closely monitor your development. These tools allow us to celebrate your wins, identify any challenges, and adjust our strategies as needed, ensuring you're consistently moving toward your objectives.
What results can I expect from coaching?
With the C.A.R.E framework, you can expect to feel more confident in your decisions, clearer about your next steps, and better equipped to handle the demands of leadership. Many of my clients improve their ability to communicate, feel more positive and in control, lead with empathy, and manage stress more effectively, creating a balanced, resilient mindset for long-term success.
