Hey un-ordinary one!

It's really bloody nice to meet you!

Welcome to the place where we seek to understand what’s beneath the behaviour, where science meets soul, hearts meet heads, and where we dare to do things differently.

Because connection isn’t a reward—it’s a right.

You're here because you want to raise your children {and the ones that you teach, lead and care for} to be comfortable and confident with who they are and who they came here to be. 

But no one really showed you how to do that when you were growing up.

Control, compliance and "because I said so" has had it's time to shine.

You're here because you know that light has gone out, you're here for the un-ordinary path towards connection, authenticity and vulnerability.

I exist in this space because as a child and family therapist (and a mum of 3 fantastic kids) I understand the frustrations of modern day parenting intimately. 

You’ve got enough on your load as it is, without having to trapse around the internet trying on different scripts, practicing different frameworks and remembering the 1-2 step. Raising daring children is so much more than a creative acronym of strategies. 

I know that being human is messy and it’s more than ok to fumble forwards and stumble sideways. I won’t try to change either of you because you aren’t broken. Sometimes you just need someone to blow the dust off so that you can shine how you’re designed to, before society put you in a box and told you how this whole thing ‘should’ look shudder.

Love notes from clients

I’m Sarah,

Growing you as a parent, building children and strengthening your connection to yourself, your community and wider circle is what I’m all about.

I believe that everybody has everything they need inside them, and positive change is accessible to us all

As a Child and Family Play Therapist, with a background in Psychology I have over a decade of experience working with children and families.

 I am passionate about supporting you on your parenting journey and ready to walk alongside you. As a mamma to three I get the excessive highs and lows of parenthood, cos I’ve been there too (and still there!).

 I'd be telling you porkie pies if I said I wasn't utterly obsessed with the impact of early childhood experiences on the development of the brain, they are pivotal! I’d love to share this knowledge with you too.

These early experiences are the foundation on which our child's future is built, we all know without a solid foundation the walls fall down!

 Throughout my work and life as a parent I recognised the deep need for trauma-informed, evidence-based and attachment focused parenting supports, and from that Secure Foundations was born.
