Sara is a Consultant Genetic Counsellor and a nationally recognised leader in the field of genetic counselling. She has more than 25 years of experience supporting individuals and families through complex genetic and reproductive decisions in both the NHS and private sectors. Sara began her career at Guy's Hospital, where she worked within the Regional Genetics Service, supporting families affected by a wide range of inherited conditions, including inherited cancers and neurological conditions. Over time, she developed a specialist interest in reproductive genetics, prenatal testing, carrier screening and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT).

Since 2005, Sara has worked extensively within fertility services, helping patients understand genetic risks and explore their reproductive options. She previously led the PGT service at one of the UK's leading fertility centres and has been instrumental in the development of carrier screening programmes, both within specific communities and across broader populations. Alongside her clinical work, Sara has held national leadership roles within the profession, including serving as Chair of the Association of Genetic Nurses and Counsellors (AGNC).

As founder of Guided Genetics, Sara now provides independent genetic counselling to ensure patients have access to expert guidance before, during and after genetic testing. Her approach combines scientific expertise with compassionate counselling, helping individuals and couples make informed decisions that align with their personal values, circumstances and family goals.
