LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet Sarah Giles

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

My work is shaped by a deep understanding of how stress and pressure affect people in the workplace, not just mentally, but physically and how this impact extends beyond work, shaping behaviour, relationships, wellbeing, absence, and performance over time. Having experienced the benefits of trauma awareness and nervous system regulation myself, I believe sustainable performance is built on safety, self-trust, and wellbeing.

My mission is to help leaders and individuals lead from a healthier place by creating safer, more compassionate spaces where people, workplaces, and communities can thrive.

Through my partnership with The Mental Wellbeing Company, I'm committed to bringing together trauma informed practices and positive psychology to make it accessible to all. As a Certified Trauma Informed Coach through The Mental Wellbeing Company, 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 community of trauma informed professionals in the world.

This high-level certification has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to deliver transformative workshops and 1:1 coaching sessions that prioritise the mental health and wellbeing of your team, your students or yourself.
