Hello, I’m Sara-Louise, an AuDHD Neurodiversity Therapist and Coach here at Zoe Clews and Associates.
I trained for five years in my early thirties, and I have been practicing for over 11 years. (Although I knew from the age of 13 that I wanted to be a therapist and coach and support others). I am proud to be a therapist and coach who has worked in the ‘real world’. When I left school, I initially worked in professional theatre (at 16!), then luxury hospitality and then I went into employability and working with people with long-term disabilities as an Employment Coach.
My core training was in Psychosynthesis Coaching and Counselling at UK Diploma level (France) and Integrative Counselling at Certificate level (UK). I have studied family systems and also grief counselling at post-qualifying level and I am currently working towards my Level 7 in Leadership Coaching. Aside from this I have trained in Domestic Abuse survivor support with four different organisations; debt work, hidden disabilities and Leadership and Management. I am also a Politics graduate with a strong social conscience (because… The ND sense of justice!)
I regularly work with people experiencing issues relating to understanding their neurodiversity, communication, relationships, disability, domestic abuse, trauma, autism, ADHD, work, employment and in-work support. I also work to support people with physical health conditions, poor self-esteem, and self-confidence issues.
Having an entrepreneurial instinct means I tend to attract coaching clients who are also entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, leaders in all sectors and tech-minded people. I have a particular interest in helping to prepare young people to live independent lives.
Do I sound right for you? If you’re someone who feels they just can’t move beyond the emotional obstacles blocking their path to a richer and more rewarding life, my own lived experiences and my extensive training and experience make me ideally placed to help you to finding your path once again.
