About Sarah
Sarah Bennett is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship or parenting challenges. She also helps with self-esteem, addictions, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Her approach is calm and practical and she offers a range of strategies to suit different needs.
Sarah trained in counselling after starting her journey in Sydney, Australia in 2009 where she worked as a telephone counsellor for Lifeline. She later completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and a University Certificate in Counselling at South Cheshire College, validated by Manchester Metropolitan University.
Background and approach
She is an NCPS credential holder and follows their ethical framework. Her practice is shaped by Person-Centred principles, with attention to listening and helping people find their own answers. She adapts other methods when useful, such as cognitive behavioural techniques for unhelpful thinking, mindfulness and relaxation for stress, and hypnotherapy integrated with psychotherapy for suitable issues.
Sarah has experience working with young people in colleges and schools, and has volunteered for bereavement support services. Over eleven years she has built practical skills in anxiety management and coping with life changes. She offers video and phone appointments alongside messaging options.
Sessions are presented as collaborative conversations. Sarah suggests techniques as options rather than strict homework, and she aims to help each person choose what feels most helpful for them.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Sarah commonly uses Hypnotherapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in online work. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access resources and shift unhelpful patterns; it can be used for anxiety, sleep or habit change. Client-Centred Therapy concentrates on listening, empathy and helping people discover their own answers rather than directing them; it suits those wanting a supportive space to talk. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours and provides practical techniques to change patterns that contribute to mood or anxiety problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, then suggest methods to try. This is collaborative and adjusted as progress is made rather than fixed from the start.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make sessions easier to fit around work, childcare or mobility needs. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction, phone calls can be less bandwidth intensive, and messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options offer flexibility while keeping the therapeutic focus on practical support and strategies.
