Sarah Newton has been helping youth and families for over 15 years of her life. Initially as a police officer in the Met and the last 10 years running her own youth consultancy business. She has worked with and transformed some of the most difficult and empathetic young people and regularly appears in the media, giving her expert opinion. She has been featured on most UK TV channels (with one of her programmes watched by 1 in 4 of the UK population), hosted her own TV series, been involved with campaigns for such companies as MTV and the BBC and has sat on future thought panels for ITV.
Sarah’s passion is for empowering the next generation and she regularly writes about youth success, youth empowerment and how to impact the future leaders of tomorrow.
Her first book, “Help! My Teenager is an Alien – the everyday situation guide for parents” was launched in March 2007. This book has now been translated into Polish and Chinese. Sarah is currently working on her second book which delves into the life of “The Screenagers”- the children of today, a subject she has been diligently studying for the last two years. Working side by side with a world leading social media expert Sarah has immersed herself into the on-line world, read countless books about the subject and spoken to leading experts all with the intention of discovering the impact technology is having on family life. The result is tech geek, youth expert and family peacemaker all rolled into one.
Whilst Sarah has a natural flair and pragmatic approach to resolving issues, she has been diligent in developing her professional skills. She has been professionally trained through Coach U, Comprehensive Coaching U and was the first U.K. graduate of the Academy of Family Coach Training. Sarah is currently getting certificated in the teaching of William Glasser’s Choice Theory. She combines this knowledge with her police experience, her love of restorative justice and her obsession for information on generational theory, neuroscience and technology. All mixed together with equal parts of sensitivity, wonder, common sense, and humour to touch people’s lives.
Sarah is considered a thought leader among her peers and her futuristic attitude allows clients to benefit from her forward thinking, whole-person approach to everything she does.
Sarah has just been included in a list of the “The top 50 youth marketing and trends people to follow on Twitter”.
Sarah lives in Northampton, England with her two daughters Bronte (12) and Freya (8), her husband and a menagerie of animals. In her spare time she lives the life of a 1950’s diva with car, hubby and a whole lot of handbags to prove it.
