Sarah Bennett, NCPS

Sarah Bennett supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, self‑esteem, addiction and trauma. She works with issues around eating, sleeping, parenting, anger and career pressures. Sarah has experience with ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue and with areas such as adoption, attachment and body image.

Her counselling path began in Sydney in 2009, where she trained as a telephone counsellor for Lifeline. On return to England she completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and a University Certificate in Counselling at South Cheshire College, validated by Manchester Metropolitan University. She is an Accredited Member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS).

Sarah draws on a person‑centred way of working, meeting people where they are and following their pace. She offers techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and hypnotherapy when these seem helpful. These are suggested as options rather than requirements, and discussed together before using them in sessions.

Her background includes placements supporting young people at Reaseheath College and work as a school counsellor at Brine Leas High School. She has volunteered with a bereavement charity and has provided telephone counselling services earlier in her career.

She now runs a independent practice in Nantwich seeing adults and older teenagers. Sarah keeps up professional development through workshops and training, and aims to help people develop practical tools to manage anxiety, low mood and life changes.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Sarah uses a person‑centred approach that prioritises the client's experience and choices, creating space to talk and reflect at a comfortable pace. This helps people dealing with low mood, relationship worries and life changes to feel heard and understood.

She also offers cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT is practical and often used for anxiety, depression and unhelpful thinking patterns. Hypnotherapy is another option she can draw on; it involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help with issues like anxiety and habit change when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options and tailor methods to the person’s goals and preferences, deciding collaboratively what to try and when to adapt.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily life, reduce travel time and offer a quicker way to check in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally use these advantages to help clients keep continuity of care and progress without frequent commuting.
