About Sarah
Helping workplaces build practical, sustainable approaches to wellbeing
I founded The Balance Group after my own experiences with anxiety and depression at work showed me how often managers care deeply about their teams but feel unsure how to respond.
Today I support organisations to move beyond one-off initiatives and develop approaches that genuinely support mental health in everyday working life.
My story
“I know first-hand how isolating it can be to struggle at work — and how much difference the right support can make.”
My own experiences with anxiety and depression gave me a deep understanding of what people need when they’re not okay — and what often gets in the way when managers try to help.
That’s what led me to build The Balance Group: an organisation that helps workplaces create the conditions for people to thrive, not just survive.

Experience across sectors
NHS, universities, major retail, hospitality, finance and start-ups — I’ve worked with organisations of all sizes and shaped my approach around what actually works in different workplace cultures.
How I work
My style is calm, open and practical — creating space for honest conversations while giving teams tools they can use in real workplace situations.
Work directly with Sarah
You’ll work directly with me from our first conversation through to delivery—no handovers, no layers, just a consistent point of contact throughout.
Designed around your organisation
Everything is shaped around your organisation—your people, your challenges, and what you’re looking to achieve.
Practical from the start
Sessions focus on simple, practical tools people can use in real workplace situations—not just awareness.
Not clinical, not corporate
I aim to strike a balance between warmth and professionalism — making wellbeing feel accessible and relevant, never preachy or tick-box.
Built around your people
I take time to understand each organisation before designing support — so what I deliver fits your culture and lands well with your teams.
