Sarah MacSwiney

Hello, I am Sarah MacSwiney, a trauma-informed life coach dedicated to supporting women as they navigate the complexities of post-divorce recovery and life transitions. My journey has been shaped by profound experiences that taught me the importance of reclaiming one’s identity and finding joy in the aftermath of life’s challenges. This passion drives me to empower others to rediscover their worth and create lives filled with purpose and fulfilment.

What Makes My Coaching Different:
My coaching is rooted in a deep understanding of how past as well as present experiences influence adult lives. I combine a range of techniques, including NLP, brainspotting, and trauma-informed approaches, to create a unique and comprehensive healing experience. By addressing the emotional and cognitive aspects of recovery, I help clients uncover their true selves and pave the way for lasting change.

What I Do:
I specialise in guiding women who have faced significant life challenges, particularly those navigating the emotional aftermath of divorce and other transformative experiences. My coaching provides a safe and nurturing environment where you can explore how these past experiences influence your present struggles. Together, we will work to rediscover your self-worth, heal old wounds, and develop the confidence to navigate your path forward with clarity and purpose.

Who My Coaching Is For:
My services are designed for women experiencing:

• Post-Divorce Recovery: Navigating the emotional aftermath of separation and rebuilding your life.
• Life Transitions: Finding clarity and direction during significant change, such as midlife transitions or personal reinvention.
• Emotional Dysregulation: Addressing feelings of anxiety and hyper-vigilance resulting from past experiences.

 What I Help You Overcome:
Together, we will work to recognise and release the emotional baggage shaped by your childhood or other past experiences, focusing on:

• Healing the Hidden Wound: "I Am Unlovable" - Understanding your true value beyond past neglect.
• Reclaiming Your Value: "I Am Worthless" - Reconnecting with your inherent worth and self-confidence.
• Overcoming Perfectionism and Self-Doubt: "I Am Not Good Enough" - Letting go of limiting beliefs and embracing your authentic self.
• Reclaiming Your Voice: "I Am Not Important" - Setting healthy boundaries to prioritise your needs and desires.
• Rewriting Your Life Story: Empowering you to identify and let go of narratives that no longer serve you.

My Coaching Programmes:
Unpack to Get on Track:
This in-depth programme addresses not only the aftermath of recent events but also explores a lifetime of experiences that have kept you feeling stuck and unsure of your identity. Over several sessions, we will delve into the root causes of your challenges, providing a holistic approach to healing and personal growth.
 
Helping Hand for Healing Hearts:
Designed for those seeking immediate support after divorce, this programme provides essential tools to help you keep moving forward. With a focus on actionable strategies, we will work together to navigate the initial emotional upheaval and set the foundation for a brighter future.

Testimonials:

Sarah’s approach is both empathetic and empowering. She truly understands the challenges we face and provides the tools to overcome them. — Victoria. 

I also specialise in coaching individuals going through divorce and separation, as well as those dealing with trauma-related hypervigilance. My work focuses on helping clients navigate these difficult transitions with compassion and effective strategies for healing.

While I am open to working with clients for a single session, I prefer to establish a minimum commitment of three sessions or the use of my coaching packages. This approach allows us to delve deeper into the complexities of your situation and facilitates lasting change. By engaging in this more comprehensive process, clients can experience the full benefits of our work together, fostering greater understanding, healing, and personal growth.

Particular Interests:
I have a keen interest in working with women on emotional dysregulation, anxiety, the impact of childhood experiences on adult relationships, midlife transitions, personal reinvention, and those who have faced privileged abandonment and boarding school trauma.
