Hello, I’m Sarah, an End of Life Doula supporting individuals and families across Brighton and Sussex with thoughtful, practical and compassionate care at the end of life.

I trained as a Doula in 2017 and bring over a decade of experience supporting people through end-of-life care across community settings, voluntary work, and private practice. I am also trained in counselling, which informs my approach and helps me offer support that is both emotionally attuned and grounded in practical reality.
Alongside this work, I am also a Birth Doula. It is a privilege to accompany people through some of life’s most profound transitions, and this has deepened my understanding of how important steady, reliable support can be during times of vulnerability and change.
My role is to help ease the pressure at a time that can feel overwhelming. This may include advance planning, exploring the full range of options available to you, advocating for your wishes, and helping you make informed decisions with greater confidence and clarity.
I have extensive experience working alongside healthcare professionals and understand how to help maintain your voice, dignity, and preferences within the system. I have also co-run a monthly Death Café in Brighton, creating a welcoming space for open and honest conversations about death and dying.
I offer a grounded, warm, and down-to-earth approach. I understand that every person, family, and situation is different, so my support is always tailored to your individual needs, values, and pace, while helping you feel more resourced and resilient during a challenging time.
Alongside my professional work, I’m a mother of three and a creative person, which keeps me connected to everyday life and the importance of balancing care with normality, humanity, and moments of lightness.
