Founder - Phoenix Training & Consultancy Ltd
Sarah is recognised for her ability to design and deliver training programmes that do more than meet compliance. Phoenix programmes are person-centred, trauma-informed, and challenging of organisational culture, equipping staff at every level to reflect critically, adapt their practice, and embed sustainable change. Each course is taught by professionals with deep, first-hand experience in the sectors they serve, ensuring training is credible, practical, and grounded in reality.
Her work has influenced both policy and practice, from grassroots initiatives through to contributing to national legislative developments such as Domestic Abuse Protection Orders. Sarah continues to work closely with underrepresented communities, including travelling communities and women in the probation system, amplifying their voices in government and academic arenas.
As a business leader, Sarah has built Phoenix into a trusted partner of organisations such as the Ministry of Justice, Senedd Cymru, local authorities, and national charities. She also oversees the strategic development of Phoenix Group, which brings together training, consultancy, psychotherapy, and future growth ventures in property and supported living.
At the core of Sarah’s work is a commitment to delivering training and consultancy that is not only legally and professionally robust, but also practical, human, and transformative for both staff and the people they support.
