About Me

I would describe myself as an author, teen advocate, parent confidant and a Rebel with a Cause. I challenge current stereotypes with a mixture of campaigning, crusading and championing of young people.

Others would describe me as Britain’s best known teen coach due to the high profile that I enjoy. I am the only Teen Coach to have hosted my own eight part TV series ‘My Teen’s a nightmare – I’m Moving Out’ and have been seen on most channels with one of my programmes being watch by 1 in 4 of the UK population (not that I’m bragging). I am the first choice of experts when it comes to teenagers and being interviewed by national newspapers and magazines has become part of my everyday routine.

My first book, " Help! My Teenager is an Alien - the everyday situation guide for parents" was launched in March 2007 and rarely drops out of the top ten parenting teenager books. I have just learnt that my book is to be translated into Polish which is great news however, I am slightly nervous that my strange sense of humour will not translate so well. :-)

have dedicated the last ten years of my life to helping teenagers and their parents address the issues they face. My interest in helping teens and their parents began in the Metropolitan Police Force where I witnessed at first hand the harsh realities, and the point to which teenagers can be driven because they feel alone and isolated.

My success has come from challenging conventional thinking and worn out "fix it" approaches that diminish the inherent goodness and value of our young people. Instead, I teach skills so that the young people and the adults in their lives can self-coach and self-correct their own behavior. My unique approach to coaching takes the skill set of traditional coaching and transposes it into everyday communication in a simple and easy-to-adopt process. I am passionate about the impact a healthy adult/teen relationship can have on all those concerned and ultimately society as a whole.

Whilst I have a natural flair and pragmatic approach to resolving issues I have been diligent in developing my professional skills. I have been professionally trained through Coach U, Comprehensive Coaching U and I was the first U.K. graduate of the Parent as Coach Academy.

After starting my business (Sarah Newton Consultancy) in 2002 I have become one of the world’s best known and most experienced teen and parent coaches developing a world wide client base. Sarah Newton Consulting has developed programmes that deal with common issues as well as individually tailored coaching programmes. At the heart of everything we do is the commitment to build healthy relationships with all teenagers. The consultancy employs my proven proprietary methodologies which are designed to develop positive long term outcomes.
