❝ Thanks Sally, it's been fantastic being coached by you, you have a very insightful way of working which has given me space to understand myself better and start making changes. And be more supportive of myself!! The tools you introduced me to have helped me better recognise, understand and regulate my emotions. I'm prone to fixating on an issue, ruminating and overthinking situations and potential outcomes - usually kicking in very inconveniently at bedtime! I now have strategies that help me manage this and gain some perspective - and some sleep! I am learning to live more bravely and wholeheartedly and not be scared to show my vulnerabilities, rather than sit on the sidelines. This has had a really positive impact on relationships, especially at work. Thank you for all your support!❞

❝ When I first met Sally, I had recently gone through a traumatic period in my life and I was really struggling with day to day things. I was lacking confidence and feeling overwhelmed and alone. Sally is a great listener, compassionate, professional and easy to understand. Through her coaching I have learned a lot about myself:-I have begun to trust in my decisions and feel happier. She has helped me with everything from severe anxiety, lack of confidence, finances and achieving my long-term goals. I can’t thank Sally enough for her help. If you want long term change and to truly move forward in your life, then I recommend having some coaching with her.❞

❝ I couldn’t recommend Sally more highly, the sessions were invaluable.They left me not only feeling clearer and calmer, but also much more determined in achieving my goals. In the past I would often set myself up for failure and then be hard on myself. I am now able to set more achievable goals and be much more forgiving on myself if I do fail.❞

❝ I loved my sessions with Sally, I found them so relaxing and she made me feel like I mattered. One of the most important things I've learned is how to really listen to myself. I’ve just had three sessions so far, but I am feeling much more positive and confident.❞

❝ I would highly recommend Sally's coaching as her approach is amazing. I was initially quite nervous but she was so patient and supportive, she completely put me at ease.❞

❝ I first met Sally when I attended her face to face pilates classes, then during the pandemic I joined the zoom sessions which were a calming and relaxing lifeline.

In January this year, I reached out to Sally & The Liferaft as I knew I needed something but wasn’t sure what that looked like. I was feeling lost, lacking clarity and direction and had definitely lost my sparkle. Sally responded quickly to my enquiry and since then I have been enjoyably involved in group and one to one sessions. I began my journey on a group Mindfulness & Mediation course and have since continued on to one to one coaching sessions.

Sally is extremely approachable, professional and honest. Her warm, calm, caring and non-judgemental nature allows the perfect environment to be open and truthful about life experiences and challenges.

Sally is extremely good at listening, remembering and recapping, so is able to personalise sessions based on what has been shared. She is constantly studying and has a wealth of ideas and ‘tools’ which she willingly shares, backing up with her own experiences.

I am benefitting greatly from working with Sally and can see I am calmer, have more direction, a greater awareness of myself and my needs, as well as a bank of strategies to use. My confidence is definitely growing and I can see some of my sparkle and personality returning.

I would definitely recommend talking to Sally to see if she can help you. Her compassionate and genuine kindness allows an atmosphere that is perfect for open, truthful and sometimes difficult conversations.❞
