Sarah listens, validates and offers advice in a genuine heartfelt way.
As well as her clinical experience, I feel she has relatable life experience to backup her understanding of her patients' concerns, particularly those with families and busy work/home lives.
I get the sense from her that she's a genuine person who wants to help and has the expertise and experience to do so confidently.
