About Space to Think

Guiding you through the wood, the trees and the spaces in between.

Welcome

Hi, I’m Sarah, a Psychologist and Coach based in East Lothian, Scotland.

With almost 20 years of experience in psychology and education, my coaching psychology practice builds on my belief in guiding individuals, businesses, and organisations to gently support themselves in their lives and work. My business, Saorsa Psychology, draws its name from the Gaelic word for 'freedom', reflecting my commitment to creating a space for my clients that resonates with depth, ease, quality and impact.

I firmly believe in the boundless potential of each of us and strive to assist my clients through their own experiences of growth and change. My approach is to be fully present for them, helping us collectively appreciate the broader picture – the wood, the trees, and the spaces in between.

Here on Substack, I plan to share my experience as a coaching psychologist, wild swimmer and coastal lover, and my conversations with creatives, educators and storytellers. As I shift my monthly Space to Think letters over to Substack, each issue I plan to dive into a subject inspired by my work and the conversations I have.

You’ll also find my podcast: Space to Think - Where Ideas Grow Wild. Having co-hosted the successful Changing Conversations podcast for the last four years, I’m excited to enable others to share their ideas and insights, learnings and unlearnings.

The tagline ‘where ideas grow wild’ is a nod to the power of conversation. People come alive when they talk about what matters to them, and conversation is the oldest vehicle for change and improvement. When you listen I want you to feel part of the conversation, as if you’re sitting here with us. Thinking together.

This space blends my original newsletter with my interests, and I hope you enjoy being here.
