Who Am I?

Sarah Commens is a trauma-informed life coach, applied science communicator, and the unapologetically real voice behind My Inner Compass™.

Best known for breaking free from “treatment-resistant” mental-health diagnoses in the face of immense adversity, Sarah has turned her lived experience into a blueprint for human potential.

Through her signature talks and coaching programs, she inspires audiences to rise above their past and re-align with who they truly are — guiding others out of the swamp and back to their authentic centre.

“I believe authenticity is our “North Star” — and most of us have been walking in circles trying to find it.

We spend years chasing titles, ticking boxes, and wrestling with questions like “What’s my purpose?”
But the one question that truly changes everything — we almost never ask — Who am I?”.

Who am I? is one of six deceptively simple questions at the heart of Sarah’s signature coaching framework — My Inner Compass™.
Sarah believes there is strength in simplicity.
Clarity in quiet.
And something powerful waiting for you beneath all the noise.

She wears two hats in her work — one as the founder of Sarah Commens Mindset Mastery, where she walks beside individuals ready for radical transformation. And the other as the strategist behind Mental Health Advocate, a consultancy that partners with government and organisations to improve systems, challenge outdated thinking, and drive meaningful reform in mental health and trauma-informed practice.
