Sarah Monk is a clinical and coaching psychologist, chartered with the British Psychological Society and registered with the Health Care Professionals Council. A 20-year career gap from psychology following developing a chronic illness associated with burnout led to her interest in positive psychology. Monk then completed a master’s in Applied Positive Psychology, trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and began working with patients again. In her private therapy and coaching practice, All Weather Wellbeing, she works with people struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic health conditions or disabilities, bereavement, or issues relating to neurodiversity – and she also has a particular interest in eco-anxiety.
