Teenologist, Celebrity Parent Coach, Speaker and Family Peacemaker
Hailed as “The Supernanny for Teens ” by TV Times
Sarah Newton has been helping youth and families for over 17 years of her life, initially as a police officer in the Met and for 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 (which has aired in America, Australia, New Zealand, Poland and Scandinavia), been involved with campaigns for such companies as MTV, Paramount and the BBC and has sat on future thought panels for ITV.
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.
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 all mixed together with equal parts of sensitivity, wonder, common sense, and humour to touch people’s lives.
Sarah is passionate about educating, enabling and empowering young people to make better choices. Choices that are better for them, their families, their friends and society as a whole. She is a strong proponent of taking personal responsibility for our lives and the decisions we make. She is driven by a desire to help adults create environments and conditions that allow youth to thrive. This desire drove her to join forces with Lisa Warner, 2009 Entrepreneur of the Year, to educate families on communication skills.
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. Her love of restorative justice and her obsession for information on generational theory, neuroscience and technology are slowly turning her into a closet Geek! Sarah is also the creator of the exciting new Teenology Model and the editor and creator of Celebrity Parent Advice.
Sarah lives happily in Northampton, England with her two daughters Bronte (14) and Freya (10), her husband and a menagerie of animals.
“You would be happy to hear – that hourly conversation has changed everything for us! By changing my approach there has been no major issues with my son! I only had to use the first step of the four step method as he would respond well to me pointing out that he is shouting or getting stressed unnecessarily! But I also know it will only work if I don’t shout either, and so far I have managed that most of the time… Amazing what influence we parents have no them and how MUCH we are to blame!! Yesterday I came home to find all washing up done, trash taken out and tea waiting for me! I didn’t even ask, and it seems he does know what he has to do and the less I ask the more he does!Many thanks for this enlighten session. It has totally changed our life at home. ”
