About Sarah
Sarah Bennett helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and a wide range of life challenges. She works with issues such as depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, parenting worries and career strain. Sarah also supports people with ADHD, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related concerns.
She is based in the United Kingdom and uses straightforward, practical approaches in sessions. Sarah trained in counselling after beginning her journey in Sydney, Australia in 2009, where she worked as a telephone counsellor for Lifeline.
Background and approach
She later completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and a University Certificate in Counselling validated by Manchester Metropolitan University. Sarah is an accredited member of the National Counselling Society, listed as NCPS. Her work is rooted in a person-centred style that puts the individual’s experience first.
She offers techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and hypnotherapy when these seem helpful. Sessions focus on simple, usable tools such as breathing, relaxation and mindful practices rather than jargon or complicated homework. Over eleven years of practice include placements and roles supporting young people in colleges and schools, bereavement work with a charity, and independent practice in Nantwich.
That mix gives practical insight into issues like exam stress, bullying, family friction and loss. Sarah aims to collaborate with each person to find what helps most. She offers face-to-face work in her practice alongside video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.

Approaches Sarah lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Sarah will discuss options and try techniques collaboratively, adjusting what she uses to match each person’s goals and preferences. Clients are invited to treat suggestions as experiments rather than fixed rules, and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are good for full face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can fit around busy days. These options make it easier to book around work, family or travel and keep therapy consistent when life is unpredictable.
