I spent years trying to arrive. It took me a while to notice the arriving wasn’t the point.
I’m Sara. I coach people through the stretch between who they’ve been and who a new role, country, or chapter is asking them to become. Mostly because I’ve spent a good deal of my own life in exactly that stretch.
Book a chat →I moved abroad on my own at eighteen, into a language and a culture that weren’t mine, and spent years waiting for it all to finally click into “home.” I treated the not-quite-arriving as a problem to solve: work harder, adapt faster, get through it on the way to the real thing.
What took me longer to work out is that those in-between years weren’t a delay before my life started. They were the life — the slow, unglamorous business of setting down a version of myself that no longer fit, and becoming someone the old me hadn’t met yet.
The in-between isn’t the wait before the life. It is the life.
The doubt that arrives right after the promotion. The tiredness of holding a life together somewhere that still makes you translate yourself. The quiet 2am question of who you’re meant to be now the old answers have stopped answering. Inside organisations it just wears a suit.
So I built a practice for that gap and called it The In-Between. It’s grounded in psychology, and I use art and creative methods alongside it, because people tell the truth faster when you don’t ask for it head-on. What people remember afterwards usually isn’t the method. It’s that I’m warm, and that I’ll still name the thing you’ve been circling for weeks, with a joke somewhere in it.

The unofficial version.
I read novels about people living small, ordinary lives, and quietly wonder when we all got so good at performing our days instead of actually living them. I cook like I’m feeding a family of six, then panic-deliver the surplus to my elderly neighbours because I can’t stand waste — and honestly, I think they expect it now.
I’m currently rebecoming a potter, which is to say I will soon own a lot of anything vaguely bowl-shaped. Before that it was embroidery, before that drawing, before that a phase nobody needs details on. I have never finished a hobby in my life. I’ve made peace with it. Mostly.
Bring your whole self to our sessions. I’ll bring mine.
Book a chat. That’s the whole of step one.
One honest conversation tends to move something. A knot loosens, the thing finally gets named, the next step stops hiding. This first one’s free, and worst case, you leave with more clarity than you came in with.
