Hello, I’m Sue
I’m Sue Sarkar, a wellbeing practitioner with a background spanning more than 30 years in education, psychology and cognitive science.
Throughout my career as a teacher, lecturer, teacher trainer and senior leader, I have been fascinated by how the mind works, how we learn, what shapes our behaviour and, ultimately, what enables us to reach our potential.
I hold a Master’s degree in Cognitive Science and a first-class BSc (Hons) degree in Mathematics, and I have lectured in psychology to degree level. I bring a deep understanding of the relationship between the brain, mindset, behaviour and human performance.
Today, I bring this knowledge together with my training in Nada Yoga (the yoga of sound), Yin Yoga and sound meditation to offer an integrated approach to wellbeing that explores the relationship between sound, vibration, awareness and the mind.
My philosophy
Awareness creates the opportunity for change
A central philosophy underpinning my work is the belief that meaningful personal growth begins with self-awareness.
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
So much of how we think, feel and behave is influenced by past experiences, learned beliefs and habitual patterns that operate beneath our conscious awareness. These can shape how we respond to relationships, challenges, opportunities and the world around us, often without us realising it.
When difficult emotions arise, our instinct can be to suppress them, distract ourselves or push them aside. Yet sadness, fear, anger and anxiety are all part of the human experience. Learning to acknowledge, understand and work with these emotions, rather than simply avoid them, is an important part of personal growth.
Through meditation, sound, breathwork and movement, I aim to create opportunities for people to become more aware of their thoughts, emotions, beliefs and habitual responses. By bringing these patterns into conscious awareness, we can begin to question them, challenge unhelpful behaviours and make more intentional choices about how we think, feel and respond.
I believe wellbeing is about far more than finding moments of calm. It is about developing a deeper understanding of ourselves, strengthening our mindset, cultivating a positive outlook and building the emotional and mental resources to navigate life’s challenges.
It is about moving beyond simply coping with life towards embracing it, finding joy and fulfilling our potential.
The principles behind these practices extend beyond everyday wellbeing. Breathwork, mental focus, movement and self-awareness are also valuable tools in high-performance environments, including elite sport, where the ability to manage emotions, maintain focus and develop mental resilience can make a significant difference.
My aim is to make these tools accessible to everyone, helping children and adults alike develop the foundations not just to cope with life, but to grow, flourish and thrive.
My purpose
I believe every individual has the capacity to grow, change and flourish.
We cannot always control what happens to us, but we can develop a greater awareness of how we think, feel and respond.
My purpose is to help people become more conscious of themselves, more intentional in how they live and better equipped to embrace life’s opportunities and challenges.
Ultimately, this is about more than wellbeing. It is about helping people become the best version of themselves.
