Sarah Newton

Sarah is a Teen Coach and Gen Y Guide who helps parents, schools and companies connect with, engage and motivate young people for lasting results.

Having spent the last 14 years immersed in the culture of youth, Sarah is the person when it comes to all things teen and youth related. A recognised thought leader in this field, Sarah is passionate about presenting her thinking and ideas in practical and useful ways, that allow people to guide the behaviour of the next generation without crushing their spirits.

Regularly appearing in the media, Sarah is best known for her 8-part TV series, 'My Teen’s a nightmare – I’m moving out'. She’s been seen by 1 in 4 UK television viewers. Sarah’s approach is authentic, loving, firm, and compassionate - she is not looking to place blame or to shame anyone into change. Her work with clients is to find solutions that will last beyond the immediate situation and help guide young people to grow into conscientious citizens of the world. She incorporates equal parts of sensitivity, wonder, common sense, and humour to touch people’s lives.

Sarah’s first job was at Disney World in Florida and her last as a police officer in London. That sums her up; one side, a fun adventurer and the other, a serious voice with an overwhelming message about the social responsibility we all have to the next generation. She stands by the words of Pliny the Elder; “What we do to our children, they will do to society.” She believes in workable, everyday solutions, not concepts or ideas that just don’t relate to real life.

Her first book, “Help! My Teenager is an Alien - the everyday situation guide for parents” was launched in March 2007 and has now been translated into Polish and Chinese
