Sally Bentley

I am available on Thursdays and Saturday mornings.

I currently have availability.

Hello and welcome. I bring an authentic and compassionate presence to my work, driven by a passion for helping others. My specialities include loss and bereavement, as well as supporting adults and families who are adapting to life changes or dealing with serious illnesses. I focus on the complex family dynamics and relationship challenges that often arise during these times of change and uncertainty, and how they can impact our sense of identity.

I strive to create a safe space for you to discuss anything you wish to explore. My goal is to listen attentively and ensure I fully understand how you feel. I am genuine, down-to-earth, and transparent, providing an environment free from judgment or external evaluation. I aim to offer sensitive and thoughtful responses that help you connect with your deeper feelings and inner wisdom, allowing you to make sense of your experiences and move towards healing and self-discovery.

I have faced my own difficulties in life, which have allowed me to gain insight, depth, and a better understanding of the struggles others face. I recognise the significance of seeking counselling support, and how scary and daunting this can feel and this awareness helps me stay grounded and humble in my work.

Throughout my career, I have always worked with people in 3rd sector organisations supporting with anxiety, depression and work-related issues and for charities such as Cruse Bereavement and currently work as a counsellor in a hospice supporting those who are facing life-limiting conditions or are experiencing a loss or bereavement.

I offer a free 30-minute phone call where we can have a chat and can decide if we are the right fit to work together. This helps me understand your counselling needs and gives you time to ask any questions you have about counselling.

I work face to face.
