Sarah Taylor

LGBTQIA+ Life, Career & Wellbeing Coach

Hi, I'm Sarah (she/her), and I help LGBTQIA+ people stop shrinking themselves and start creating lives, careers, and relationships that feel authentic, fulfilling and sustainable.

Together, we'll uncover what's keeping you stuck, reconnect you with what truly matters to you, and create meaningful action that moves you towards the life you want.

Whether you're navigating identity, confidence, career decisions, visibility, relationships, purpose or life transitions, I'll support you to move forward with greater clarity, courage and self-trust.

Coaching with me isn't about fixing you because you're not broken. It's about creating space to explore who you are, what you want and what's getting in the way.

Together we'll build awareness, confidence and practical steps that help you create meaningful change in a way that feels sustainable and achievable.

Coaching with me is a collaboration. I support you to dig deep into what truly lights you up and create a life that feels exciting, aligned and fulfilling.

About

Hi, I’m Sarah (she/her), a queer woman, LGBTQIA+ coach and inclusion specialist, and the founder of Proud Wellness CIC.

What’s coaching with me like?

I’m warm, empathetic and intuitive (with reassuring light-hearted humour if things get a bit too serious!) I’ll gently challenge unhelpful patterns and assumptions while ensuring you always feel supported and in control of the process.

I believe in working with the whole person in our coaching together, which means not only do we explore what’s going on in your head, we notice and understand what’s happening in your body too. And how this is impacting your emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.

Approach

I bring over 25 years’ experience in leadership, people development and organisational change across major UK organisations, alongside my work in coaching, wellbeing and LGBTQIA+ inclusion.

I trained through an International Coaching Federation (ICF) accredited coaching programme, with additional ICF CPD training in Mindfulness Coaching, and trauma-informed practice. I am also qualified with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and trained in Reiki.

My coaching combines practical thinking with compassion, curiosity and deep listening. I work with the whole person, supporting you to understand not only what’s happening in your mind, but also how your thoughts, emotions and experiences may be impacting your overall wellbeing.

As the founder of Proud Wellness CIC, I work nationally to improve access to inclusive, affirming wellbeing support for LGBTQIA+ communities. This means I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my coaching, creating a space where LGBTQIA+ people can feel fully seen, understood and supported.

Whether you’re navigating questions around identity, confidence, visibility, career direction, purpose or life transitions, I’ll support you to develop greater self-awareness, build confidence and take meaningful action towards the life you want.

Experience

I’ve helped hundreds of LGBTQIA+ people build confidence, navigate life transitions, live more authentically and take meaningful action towards the lives they want.

As founder of Proud Wellness CIC, I also work nationally to improve LGBTQIA+ inclusion across workplaces, wellbeing services and communities.

Alongside my coaching work, I bring more than 25 years’ experience in leadership, people development and organisational change across major UK organisations.

I completed my coach training through an ICF-accredited programme and have additional ICF CPD training in Mindfulness Coaching, trauma-informed practice, and wellbeing approaches, including Reiki.
