What my clients say

“I have recently been working with Sarah over Zoom, I am an NHS doctor who during the recent pandemic had reached the brink of burnout in both work and my personal life. Sarah has been an absolute lifesaver in giving me a safe space to decompress and helping me develop coping mechanisms to deal with anxiety, overwhelm, stress and lack of assertiveness. Sarah is so welcoming and her previous experience within the NHS is invaluable, I highly recommend for anyone considering! Worth her weight in gold!”

Carrie, NHS Consultant 

“I first turned to Sarah when I felt like my life had stalled, my career, marriage and enthusiasm for life. I was suffering from low self-esteem, depression and anxiety.

The first time I met Sarah, I instantly knew that I had chosen the right person to help me turn my life around.

Sarah is excellent at listening and therefore getting to the heart of your problem. She then talks you through methods and tools to help you initiate change, and the tools are long lasting, I still use many of them to this day.

Thanks to Sarah I have transformed my life, my career is taking off, I am in a new amazing relationship and I have a new vigour for life and new adventures.

I still keep in touch with Sarah as a friend and mentor, who will happily give advice if I need it.

I would strongly recommend working with Sarah, I truly believe she is the best life coach in the business.”

Neil, Project Director

“In October of this year I was doing a google search for Psychologists in my area and I thankfully stumbled upon Sarah Connell - Minding Me Psychology in Maghera. I was so lucky to have found Sarah. From the moment I met Sarah I knew our sessions were going to be extremely worthwhile. I have struggled with my mental health for 15 years and I have never challenged my thinking until now. The sessions were structured and linked closely to my objectives/goals but they were also fun and extremely liberating. I loved the fact that not only did the work touch on me but also covered my relationships with family, friends and work colleagues. I am now excited for the future and feel that I can better manage the challenges in life. Sarah challenged me and questioned my thoughts and behaviours. This has totally changed how I see things. Sarah faces her own challenges on a daily basis and this makes her so authentic. She is so genuine and professional but more importantly she cares so much about her clients.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone wanting to change how they live their life. You will not be disappointed with the results they will be life changing. Thank you, Sarah”

Bronagh, HR Director 

“I can’t thank you enough for all of your help so far. You took me out of a dark place in my life and I can’t thank you enough. You have equipped me with all the tools I need to be happy. I’m sure I will be back to you if I get down again, but for now I think I am in a good enough place to move forward alone.

Thank you so much, I will forever be grateful for all of your help”

Charlie, Sports Nutrionist

“I feel like after all the sessions that I have had with Sarah she has boosted my confidence and I feel like I was able to open up to her about all my worries. Once each session was over, I felt better about myself having talked to someone that was willing to listen to me without judging what I had to say.”

Annette, Waitress

"I do want to let you know how grateful I am for our sessions. We started them in 2020 during the first strict covid lockdown, a time filled with so much hysteria that my anxiety was through the roof. I was also struggling a lot with exercising boundaries with the people in my life and a fluctuating sense of self worth. During our sessions I developed so many valuable skills in fighting negative thoughts and calming anxious moments, but possibly the thing I am most thankful for was the realisation that it wasn’t selfish to protect my space and set boundaries. You were so patient in helping me see how I was talking to myself was damaging my confidence and helped me gain back my self esteem which enabled me to see that I was capable of living a life bigger than I was allowing myself to. I finally was able to realise that the only person I need to live my life for is me and as long as I am happy with how that looks, then that’s all that matters. I’m now living on the other side of the world! There were so many times where my anxiety felt crippling to the point where I didn’t think I’d be able to do this, but you helped me push past my fear and see the value in stepping out of my comfort zone. I can’t thank you enough.”

Megan, Self Employed

“I am pleased to say the presentation went REALLY well. I didn't get that anxious panicked feeling but was practising the techniques you shared beforehand, which really helped. 

Thank you so so much for all your help with this. I can already see a huge improvement.”

Stephanie, Project Manager

“Sarah has an amazing ear, is non-judgmental and has a wonderful ability, encouraging you to work through problems in your own mind. Her approach was so effective, and I left every session feeling energised and focused.”
