About Sarah Bennett
Sarah Bennett is a qualified counsellor who supports people facing a wide range of difficulties, including depression, bereavement, relationship problems, loss and divorce, anger and negative thinking, loneliness, eating disorders, miscarriage and abortion, anxiety management, and abuse. She works with both adults and older adolescents, offering tailored support informed by person-centred principles and additional therapeutic methods when appropriate.
Her counselling career began in Sydney, Australia in 2009 when she trained as a telephone counsellor for Lifeline, a national charity. After returning to England she completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and a University Certificate in Counselling at South Cheshire College, with validation from Manchester Metropolitan University. She is an accredited member of the National Counselling Society - NCPS - which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ethical practice.
Sarah completed placement work at Reaseheath College near Nantwich, providing counselling for young people, and has experience as a school counsellor at Brine Leas High School where she supported students with coursework stress, bullying, peer difficulties, and family concerns. She has also worked and volunteered with The Dove Service, a bereavement charity in Stoke-on-Trent assisting those affected by loss and life-changing illness. Today she sees clients privately in Nantwich, working with people who self-refer or who come via GP or other recommendations.
Her approach is grounded in Person-Centred Therapy, but she blends additional techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, relaxation and breathing exercises, and hypnotherapy when these may be helpful. She holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Integrating Hypnotherapy with Psychotherapy (Level 7) from the Manchester Institute of Psychotherapy under Dr Jonathan Lloyd. Sarah presents therapeutic strategies as suggestions to explore rather than rigid homework, and places emphasis on helping clients develop practical tools for managing anxiety and other concerns. She also offers telephone and video call appointments booked in the same way as face-to-face sessions.
When not working, she spends time with close family and friends. She has two grown children and shares her home with a twelve-year-old dog named Leo, who is a frequent companion. Sarah believes in supporting each person to discover their own answers and a sense of inner calm through their work together.
