🦋 From From Anxious & Overwhelmed to Empowered & Self-Compassionate: Hattie’s Transformation with Sarah Tombs

“I’m so glad I took the decision to get in touch. It’s been such a special journey and you were the perfect person for the job!.”

“It was a great personal investment and such a special journey, I'm more empowered, more confident and manage life completely differently!"

Hattie came to coaching feeling anxious, deflated, sad, and completely consumed by worry. She had spent a whole decade of her life feeling this way, was about to enter her 30's a new something had to change.

She had, had previous therapy before working together in coaching and had multiple rounds of CBT and felt like nothing worked!

Like so many high-achieving, heart-led women, she was functioning on the outside but struggling internally - overwhelmed by pressure, self-expectations, and the constant push to “hold everything together.”

Through our coaching together, Hattie reconnected with herself, built emotional resilience, stopped the cycle of harsh self-criticism, and learned how to meet herself with compassion instead of pressure.

With a blend of psychological coaching, in-between ongoing messaging support, and personalised tools, she rediscovered her strength, softened her inner world, and stepped back into her life with more calm, clarity, and confidence.

This case study shares her words, her experience, and the profound transformation she created within herself.

It has been such a privilege to collaborate and work with Hattie and I am so proud of all she is and all she is becoming!

Before working with Sarah I was…

Anxious, deflated, sad, and completely consumed with worry. I didn’t feel like myself and I didn’t know how to get back to her. I'd felt this was for so long, over 10 years and I didn't know how to make change.

What are the most tangible results you've seen?

I’ve developed so much self-compassion.

I’m genuinely kinder to myself now - which is something I never thought I’d be able to say. I’ve stopped expecting myself to function at 200% every day.

I allow myself space, rest, and permission to slow down when I need it.

I feel more grounded, more centred, and more emotionally balanced.

I'm way more calm and confident!

How would you describe my approach and style?

Your approach is incredibly gentle, but in the most powerful way. You have this ability to challenge my thinking without ever making me feel judged or wrong.

It’s like you help me see things I couldn’t see before, but in a way that feels empowering and supportive rather than overwhelming.

You hold space with so much compassion and I always felt completely safe to be honest about what was going on for me - even the things I’d never said out loud before.

Your style is a blend of warmth, intuition, and real psychological insight, and it makes the whole process feel grounding, nurturing, and deeply transformative.

What have been the most supportive elements of our work together?

Without doubt, the ability to text you throughout the week. That in-between support was a lifeline.

Knowing I could reach out on the days where things felt heavy and that you’d always respond with reassurance, clarity, or a gentle nudge when I needed it most - made such a difference.

It bridged the gap between sessions and helped me stay grounded, supported, and connected instead of spiralling back into old patterns.

All the additional resources you offered too with the programme were amazing and helped so much!

Do you think that I did everything I could to support you?

Absolutely, 100%.

You went above and beyond. I’ve never had someone show up for me with so much genuine care and commitment. I felt supported in every single moment, the good, the messy, and everything in between.

How did you find the additional resources in the programme?

You provide so many brilliant resources - genuinely things that people would find incredibly helpful.

But honestly, for me personally, the calls were the most powerful part. I process things best by talking them through, and you always made space for that.

Even though I didn’t use every document, I loved knowing they were there and that you'd thought through everything someone might need on their journey.

How did you find WhatsApp coaching?

I absolutely loved it. It felt like this beautiful extension of the work we were doing. The messages you sent in between sessions came through at exactly the right moments - like mini boosts of clarity, grounding, or encouragement when I needed them the most.

It genuinely helped hold me through the ups and downs, and made the whole coaching experience feel incredibly contained, personalised, and supportive.

Did the package meet your expectations?

It was exactly what I wanted and expected - if not more. It felt like the perfect balance of support, guidance, space, and challenge.

How do you feel at the end of our work together?

I tryuly feel empowered, I am more confident, I just feel free!

I can handle life's stressors with calm and clairty and I don't let things bother me, I'm way more self assured. It was a truly great personal investment and a really special journey.

I'm so grateful!

How would you describe Sarah as a person and coach?

You are such a cheerleader - in the most genuine, heartfelt way.

You're also just a beautiful human being.

Getting to know you on a personal level has been such a gift.

You bring sunshine into the space, but you’re also deeply real, grounded, and human. That was so important for me.

What would you say to someone considering working with Sarah?

DO IT. Invest in yourself - you won’t regret it! 🦋 🦋 🦋

Hattie's Testimonial:

“Having you beside me while I navigated some of life’s hardest moments has been incredible. Ending our work felt bittersweet - because I’m so grateful for everything you’ve supported me through, but also because I finally feel like I’ve found myself again.

You’re one of a kind. Truly. You see the good in people, and you reflect it back so naturally that it helps you see it in yourself.

You’ve taught me how to process things that were stuck for so long, and you’ve given me the drive to want better for myself.

I’m more self-compassionate, more grounded, and finally able to see who I am - not who I’m not.

You really are sunshine in human form and I can’t thank you enough for supporting me, being patient with me, and equipping me with tools that I’ll keep using as I grow.

I’m so glad I emailed you. It’s been such a special journey — and you were the perfect person for the job. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sarah!"
