"Your teenager has so much potential.. but sometimes they just need someone in their corner who isn't mum or dad — to help them figure out what they want, and feel genuinely ready to go get it!"
Hi, I’m Sarah — an ICF-accredited career coach with over 26 years’ experience helping students and graduates make confident, informed decisions about their future. I support young people at every stage, from Year 11 subject choices and sixth form planning through to university applications, degree apprenticeships, internships, graduate jobs and early career decisions.
Before becoming a coach, I spent much of my career on the employer side of graduate and school leaver recruitment, so I know exactly what organisations are looking for — because I was often one of the people doing the hiring! I combine that insider recruitment experience with a deep understanding of universities, apprenticeships, applications, interviews and career planning to help students move forward with clarity, confidence and a stronger chance of success.
WHO I HELP — AND HOW!
I work with:
- Students in Year 11 and Sixth Form navigating A-level choices and university decisions
- Young people applying to university via UCAS — including Personal Statement writing
- Those weighing up a Degree Apprenticeship versus a traditional university route
- Students and recent graduates seeking internships, placement years or graduate jobs or their first (or second!) career move
- Professionals looking to refresh their CV/LinkedIn profile or clarify and enhance their career direction
Sessions are available in person in Cobham, Surrey (serving families across Surrey, including Esher, Weybridge, Leatherhead, Guildford and the surrounding area) or via Teams video call — working with students and families across the UK and beyond!
WHAT PARENTS SAY...
"Sarah was absolutely outstanding. She helped my son clarify what he truly wanted to pursue and write a strong Personal Statement — something I, as a mum, had struggled to help him achieve. She removed a huge amount of stress from our family."
Michelle — mum of Year 12 student
"Thank you so much for your considerable and significant role in bringing about this miracle! Justin said that he went into the assessment centre feeling confident and really well prepared. The sessions gave him concrete strategies and helped him to feel comfortable in demonstrating his skills."
Eliane- Mum of graduate job hunter
"Thank God for Sarah! My daughter was never receptive to any suggestion I made — but Sarah connected with her, gave her the confidence to apply, and helped with the whole UCAS application. In all honesty, for me it was a breeze. Money well spent."
Amanda — mum of 17-year-old
"Ben would not be in the position he is now without Sarah's excellent support. He is feeling so much more positive and has an incredible Degree Apprenticeship — thanks in no small part to all your hard work, encouragement and positivity. We cannot thank you enough."
Melanie — mum of Apprenticeship seeker
