LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet Sarah Giles

Hi, I’m Sarah. I’ve spent over 20 years working in HR, supporting leaders and teams in high-pressure environments, particularly within professional services.

In my journey as a Certified Trauma Informed Coach, I’ve witnessed the profound impact that comes from understanding the nervous system and recognising the quieter signs of stress and overwhelm.

In my years working in high-pressure environments and HR leadership roles, I saw firsthand how stress affects both individuals and organisations. I noticed it in myself at times; the subtle physical signs that appear long before we slow down enough to notice them, and I saw it in the business leaders and teams I supported, often reflected in rising sickness absence, performance challenges, and increasing emotional load.

Those experiences showed me how vital it is to understand the nervous system and create environments where people feel safe, supported and able to thrive.

Through my partnership with The Mental Wellbeing Company, I bring together trauma-informed practices and positive psychology to make it accessible to all. As a Certified Trauma Informed Coach, I’ve completed the ICF and CPD accredited Somatic Trauma Informed Coaching Certification and am part of the Trauma Informed Professional Network, which is the fastest-growing global community of trauma-informed professionals.

This high-level certification equips me to deliver transformative workshops and 1:1 coaching that prioritise the mental health and wellbeing of individuals, teams, and organisations.
