Hi, I’m Sarah Daviesā
ā
Psychologist for Women & Business Coach
ā
If you’ve found your way here, there’s a good chance you’re holding a lot.
You might be running a business, leading a team, supporting clients all day - and still carrying the mental load at home.
From the outside, you likely look capable and composed. Internally, you may feel stretched, second-guessing yourself, or quietly wondering how long you can keep operating at this pace.
ā
Or perhaps you’re simply feeling anxious, depleted, low in mood, grieving loss, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel sustainable.
ā
You don’t need to be in crisis to seek support.
Many of the women and leaders I work with reach out because something feels “off” - even if they can’t fully explain it yet.
A bit about me
ā
I’m a registered psychologist with over 20 years’ experience working with individuals and organisations under pressure. I began my career in organisational psychology and spent several years living in Darwin, working as a Psychological Services Manager within an Employee Assistance Program. In that role, I supported professionals navigating high stress, complex workplaces, decision-making fatigue, and burnout. My background means I understand both performance pressure and emotional strain - and how closely they’re often connected. After returning to Adelaide, I worked in a private secondary school before moving into private practice - wanting to make a deeper impact while also creating more flexibility in how I worked while raising a family.
ā
Over time, my work naturally evolved into psychology-informed business coaching, shaped by what I was consistently seeing in capable service-based business owners: high standards, heavy responsibility, blurred boundaries, and quiet exhaustion.
āā
I’m Adelaide-based, a mum of two, and someone who understands firsthand the mental load that comes with juggling work, family, responsibility, and expectations. Outside of work, I recharge through movement, nature, and time with the people who matter most. I’m a sucker for all things interior design and love spending time with our sausage dog Lola.
Why this work matters to me
ā
So many capable business owners and professional women are operating in survival mode.
They’re responsive to everyone else’s needs.
They’re productive.
They’re reliable.
They care deeply about their clients and families.
ā
But underneath that competence, there’s often:
• decision fatigue
• self-doubt
• resentment about boundaries
• overcommitment
• difficulty switching off
• anxiety about income or performance
• or a quiet fear that they’re the bottleneck in their own business
ā
For others, it presents as stress, anxiety, low mood, burnout, relationship strain, or emotional overwhelm.
ā
My work is grounded in helping you step out of reactive mode and into a way of living and working that feels more intentional, regulated, and sustainable - without needing to burn everything down.
How I work
āā
My approach is warm, practical, and evidence-based.
I’m not a “just talk and nod” therapist.
And I’m not a hype-driven coach promising overnight reinvention.
ā
I work ethically and collaboratively with you to:
• identify the patterns driving stress or self-sabotage
• build emotional regulation and resilience
• strengthen boundaries and decision-making
• develop sustainable ways of working
• increase clarity, confidence, and capacity
ā
Whether we’re working in a therapeutic context or a business coaching context, my goal is to help you move forward in a way that actually fits your life and your values.
