Sarah Naidoo-Banks

I am an experienced Business Psychologist and Holistic Coach who is here to help you navigate all things work related. This could be building your business, seeking greater work satisfaction, navigating a difficult work situation or building your confidence and resilience. I bring psychological insight and over 10 years of working as a coach to support you in your journey. I am warm and empathetic, and will seek to challenge you in a positive and supportive way to help move you forward in the situation at hand.

Often there are inner barriers (perfectionism, self-doubt etc.) that can hold us back but it can also be external practicalities (lack of time, money etc.). Either way, in our sessions we will first seek to understand what it is you would like to change (your intentions), then to identify what it is that is getting in way (the obstacles). From here we can create a plan for you to move forward and achieve your goals.

It is very important to me that we work together in partnership to find the approach that fits you best and I have outlined different ways of working below:

Working with the brain: Exploring helpful and unhelpful mind habits and thought patterns, this can involve cognitive-behavioural or NLP methods.

Working with emotions: Our emotions can act as a powerful guide showing us what we want or don't want in life, understanding our emotions can be useful to help diagnose the situation and find an effective solution. 

Working with our intuition: We can all relate to times we just had an instinct about a particular person or situation, or an inner knowing. Our intuitions hold great wisdom and when used alongside logic of the brain can be a powerful force for change.

Working with the body: Our thoughts and feelings are intimately bound up with our somatic/body experience including tension, pain or other physical sensation. Exploring these sensations can sometimes be the best way to create awareness and transformation.

Working with the visual or metaphorical mind: Using visualisations or working in a metaphorical way can be an effective approach for tapping into our creativity and our unconscious or sub-conscious mind.

Working with our past self: Exploring our past experiences can be a powerful method to understand how we became the person we are today and identify any experiences that still require processing and resolution. Time-line techniques and working with the inner child are helpful tools that might be used with this approach.

Working with the future self: Thinking about the person we want to be in the future can be a powerful mechanism for building clarity and mobilising our energy for change. 

I find that committing to work together for a minimum of 6 sessions provides the most effective experience, as it provides opportunity to dive more deeply into your intentions and find creative resolution. I am available for a free 30-minute exploratory call so please do get in touch if you would like to meet.
