About Sarah

Sarah Bennett helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and trauma. She also supports those struggling with relationship and family tensions, self-esteem, addiction and issues around intimacy and sexuality. Sarah uses straightforward tools and calm conversation to make hard topics easier to talk about.

Sarah began her counselling journey in Sydney in 2009 and later returned to England to continue her training. She completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and a University Certificate in Counselling, both validated by Manchester Metropolitan University.

Background and approach

She is an Accredited Member of the National Counselling Society, listed as NCPS. Her early work included telephone counselling for a national charity and placements supporting young people at a college. She has experience as a school counsellor working with middle and sixth form students on stress, bullying and family issues.

She has also volunteered with a bereavement charity offering support to people affected by serious illness and loss. In independent practice she works with adults and older teenagers. Her core style is person-centred - she believes people have the inner resources to find answers.

Sessions may include practical techniques where useful, such as breathing and relaxation exercises, simple mindfulness practices, elements of cognitive behavioural work or hypnotherapy when appropriate. Sarah describes any suggested techniques as options to try rather than homework demands. She values ongoing professional development and brings eleven years of experience to sessions.

Outside work she spends time with family and her dog, Leo.

How Sarah’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. It involves open conversation, careful listening and helping people find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want a non-directive, supportive space to think things through.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and introduces simple exercises to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress and can include practical tasks to try between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy brings in short awareness and breathing practices to reduce worry and improve focus. These are easy to practise during or between online sessions and can help with sleep and tension.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options with the client and agree together what to try first, adapting methods to each person’s goals and comfort. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people keep eye contact and read expressions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, reflection between sessions or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments.
