About Sarah
Sarah Bennett NCPS is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, and other life challenges. She also works with issues such as sleeping and eating difficulties, anger, parenting strains, career concerns, ADHD and bipolar-related coping.
She began her counselling work in Sydney in 2009 and trained as a telephone counsellor for Lifeline. After returning to England she earned a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and a University Certificate in Counselling from South Cheshire College validated by Manchester Metropolitan University. She is an Accredited Member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS).
Her practice draws on person-centred work alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques and hypnotherapy where appropriate. In sessions she offers practical strategies such as breathing and relaxation exercises, mindfulness and CBT-style tasks when these are likely to help. She presents these as suggestions rather than mandatory homework.
Sarah has experience supporting young people and adults from placements and school counselling roles, and she has volunteered with a bereavement service. She now sees clients in her private practice in Nantwich and offers telephone and video-call appointments booked in the usual way as face-to-face sessions.
She keeps her skills current through regular professional development. New clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session to begin work on the concerns they brought to counselling.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Sarah combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centred methods in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying concrete behavioural experiments and coping techniques to reduce anxiety or low mood. Client-Centred work concentrates on listening and reflecting so the person can lead the pace and topics of sessions.She also uses relaxation and mindfulness exercises to help with stress and sleep, and may offer hypnotherapy approaches where they seem suitable. Mindfulness teaches simple attention exercises and grounding practices, while hypnotherapy is used as a focused way to support changes in habits or emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss options with each person and agree on techniques based on needs, goals and preferences. This collaboration helps decide whether to try CBT tasks, mindfulness practice, hypnotherapy or a mix across sessions.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking as the original biography notes telephone and video-call appointments are offered alongside face-to-face work. If you need sessions that fit around work, caring or travel, discuss practical scheduling and the most suitable format when booking. Online sessions can make it easier to attend without travel and can allow shorter check-ins or guided exercises that fit into busy days.
