Thank you very much Sarah, it was a delight!
Sarah did a really great job! She managed to tell us about the theories of mental health in a comprehensive way and linked it to very descriptive examples from every-days live. I also liked very much how she managed to include discussions from the chat into her (prepared) flow of the talk, and in general the atmosphere she created throughout the whole event.
It was a well prepared and delivered workshop. One could see that the attendees felt comfortable with sharing their thoughts on the discussed subjects, which most likely was not always easy for them, but the trainer made them feel safe and confident enough to share.

I found the workshop very relaxing. Thank you. I am not sure if this was intended, but it is how it worked for me. I think it is because of the way you talked, motivating us to spend this time to focus on ourselves (instead of multi-task and attend 2-3 meetings parallel.

Sarah did a great job interacting with the audience while also going through her (already interactive) presentation. It truly felt like an interactive workshop, which is incredibly difficult to do for an audience of 250 people! Thank you!

Sarah was exactly what I needed in a time in my life, where I felt lost, standing at a crossroads to my career that affected my confidence levels! The discussions we had each week led to so many epiphany moments, ideas and thoughts, that turned into a constructive path going forward. By the end of my sessions with Sarah I felt like a different person, with keen direction, motivation, passion and confidence. I really thank Sarah for her skill set, as she has set me back on a positive path and I am excited for the future again!

Sarah engaged with me on our first session being present and totally focused on my goal and my expected outcome.
She is an exceptional coach who helped me with insights and strategies to deal with the problems I faced. Sarah's ability as a coach is very authentic which enabled me to open up and be honest with who I am. I would highly recommend Sarah to others who are looking for a coach.

Choosing InsideOut and working with Sarah was the best decision that I could have made.
I appreciate and thank you for your guidance that helped me both mentally and emotionally during the tough times I have been through. You made me discover myself through your advice and guided me to reading more and discovering my inner strength.

The sessions are a subtly powerful approach to understanding how to learn about yourself. With a degree of self-acceptance involved, I've gained a hightened awareness of myself. Sessions provided me with valuable insights, an ability to truly understand where and why I struggle academically and emotionally. You were able to lead me to go to therapy, which is already making a massive improvements in my life.

I have never felt the need to see a therpist despite some of the life challenges I have faced because I am fortunate enough to be surrounded by very supportive friends and family who have helped me overcome these challenges. I experienced a very traumatic breakup at the end of last year after a year of travelling the world. I had to face reality again and was just finding my strength again when the COVID 19 pandemic hit. I am an intensive care nurse so have been working throughout the pandemic which has been tough but has meant I have kept busy and feel very rewarded. I was feeling very lonely returning to an empty flat after busy and uncertain shifts and was really struggling to accept that my relationship was over. I have never been against the idea of counselling but I was reccomended INSIDEOUT by a friend who I connected through via a virtual community created by my personal trainer during lock down. It was quick and easy to sign up and be matched with a therapist. I instantly felt at ease around Sarah who was able to listen to my story, help me unearth my deeper emotions and process the event clearer in my mind. I only had 6 sessions with Sarah but still felt that we built a repore with one another and I feel as though I could reconnect with her if I ever needed to in the future.

, I worked with Sarah over a few sessions on how I am projecting myself at work and how to set clear boundaries. The discussions with Sarah and the frameworks we used allowed me to identify specific scenarios where I felt uncomfortable. Sarah also projected a calm and non-judgemental presence throughout, which made it easier to delve into the tough issues from our first session.

Working with you over the past year has equipped me with increasing awareness of my situation, the tactics to breakdown, priorities and solve problems I have and will face and most importantly given me confidence to, not change, rather develop myself as an independent adult.
I feel ready to tackle more of life’s obstacles like economic hardship, work life balance, interpersonal relationships and so much more.

In helping me to handle a difficult dialogue in which I tried to help my 13 years old daughter, Sarah Speziali, thanks to her great professional questions, has made emerge in me unexpected and unused personal resources to handle the situation. Thanks to Sarah Speziali, me and my daughter will surely build a new, wide and safe dialogue environment, in which to experiment future serenity and happiness. Thank you Sarah!

I really appreciate our sessions as it provides me space to think about any upcoming hurdles which may cause me to stress but also have the chance to look back on things which I have done well or situations I have coped better with, so I'm able to acknowledge achievements which I don't usually think about.
It feeling like a space which calms me down. The sessions help me in the moment but have also given me skills I can take forward so I'm learning how to work through things on my own better than before too.

Sarah is a very intuitive coach, as she knows exactly the right question to ask. Her calm and reassuring presence enabled me to think through a situation properly. I felt that she gave me the time and space to do this, that I wasn't allowing myself. Her background in art therapy combined with her coaching means that she is comfortable holding space for clients on particularly sensitive issues.

I found sessions with Sarah really beneficial because I was able to find time to reflect on my life. This made me more aware of myself and I improved in the areas I was struggling with. I liked the consistency of support over three years and found it helpful with my wellbeing, plannig, stress management and self-belief.

Sarah has a wonderful way of guiding you to ask yourself the difficult questions; she listens intently and is very good at finding and helping you work on the points that you're struggling with. She will help you approach what you want from life with even more conviction, and help you find the framework to support yourself on your way to your goals. Most importantly, she will gently encourage you to change your life in small ways, so that making the big changes doesn't seem as daunting.

Il ricordo del mio viaggio in Finlandia ha il colore limpido del cielo che si riflette nel lago Jyväsjärvi; il sapore della carne di renna soffice; la musica di Ronda alla turca di Mozart suonata con delle bottiglie di vetro da un artista di strada ad Helsinki.
È il ricordo vivo di Sarah, che aveva la freschezza di un tuffo nel lago dopo 40 minuti di sauna.
Il mio viaggio è stato un incontro di culture: dagli studenti finlandesi di varie origini; dal musical africano, i cui suonatori seguivano la musica ritmicamente; alla serata dedicata dell'America latina.
È stato apprezzare spettacoli di ogni tipo, dalla danza aerea; alla recita di pinocchio dei bambini di una delle scuole visitate; all'emozionante concerto di musica classica.
Un immersione tra la spirito finlandese fatto di giri in canoa, passeggiate tra i boschi e la ballata tipica di coppia, humppa, eseguita ad alta velocità.
Non ho mai ringraziato abbastanza Sarah per averci dato l'opportunità di far parte di questo progetto. E sono convinta che riusciremo, attraverso questa esperienza positiva, a comunicare l'importanza dello studio e del viaggio, per una comunità più solidale e cooperante.

Cara Sarah, grazie ancora davvero… non è solo perché sei giovane e piena di energia che “spacchi”, ma anche perché sei una seria professionista, competente, coerente, una persona sensata, di spessore … umano e culturale. Ringrazio Dio e l’universo intero di avermi dato l’occasione di incontrarti. Ti abbraccio
Al corso residenziale di Bajardo sono stata davvero bene! Non ho trovato solo quello che cercavo, ma sono stata sorpresa da tante piccole semplici cose: mi sono commossa per una piccola foglia ricevuta in dono; ho fatto parte di una spirale umana aggrovigliata e urlante, sentendomi libera; ho sperimentato tanti modi di esprimere emozioni, riflessioni, suggestioni; ho riso e ho pianto. E poi ho guardato i miei limiti con occhi nuovi e scoperto di poterli perfino considerare come opportunità di salvezza. È successo davvero… grazie alle proposte di Sarah e al suo discreto e delicato modo di porsi con tutti, grazie agli straordinari compagni di viaggio che ho avuto la fortuna di incontrare e grazie anche alla bellissima cornice bajocca con i suoi profumi, sapori e colori si è creato un cerchio magico che ci ha accolti e coccolati tutti, dal primo all’ultimo momento… indimenticabile!!!

Carissima Sarah, il corso è stato intenso per le emozioni che sono uscite e per gli esercizi sperimentati. Molti esercizi possono essere trasferiti nel nostro lavoro quotidiano. La cosa che ho sperimentato di più è che la parola con i sentimenti e con le emozioni non è indispensabile: ho "sentito " vicino il gruppo che non giudicava, accettava e incoraggiava. Vorrei approfondire il tema dell'ascolto, del corpo che comunica e come far provare con esercizi e giochi ai bambini il " non giudizio". Con tanta gratitudine ti mando un caloroso abbraccio,

La conduzione del per-corso attenta e discreta, la vicinanza di persone accoglienti e stimolanti, la bella cornice del borgo... tutto ha contribuito a fare di Bajardo un'esperienza per me ricca e profonda che mi ha fatto intravedere nuovi spiragli di felicità. Ho intenzione di guardare a Bajardo come a un nuovo inizio e una "carica" a cui attingere nei momenti di difficoltà. Grazie.
