Personal Philosophy
Behaviour is a language – what is the behaviour telling us? Gaining a greater understanding of human behaviour and what is driving it/what it is telling us, can lead us to increased empathy and understanding and a shift in how we view the child/young person and ourselves in order to support positive change.
Personal Interests
Sarah enjoys time with family and friends. She loves the outdoors and nature as well as cooking and exploring different cuisines. Walking her dog is one of her favourite activities.
