Heal, Build Resilience, and Flourish using CFT, ACT, CBT & EMDR for Trauma/PTSD, Stress, Anxiety, and Low Self-Esteem
Hi, I’m Sarah…
I help you to overcome Trauma & PTSD, Stress, Anxiety and Low Self-Esteem to find inner confidence and strength, and build a life of what matters to you most – balance, purpose and love.
Using a tailored, science-based approach, we can create real and lasting change. I specialise in two developments from CBT – CFT (Compassion Focused Therapy) and ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) – blended with EMDR.
For clinicians, I offer Compassion Focused Supervision. Develop your CFT or integrative practice, whilst feeling fully supported and empowered.
You don’t have to do this on your own anymore. You’ll find me warm, down-to-earth, and with a sense of humour. I’ll be with you when you’re hurting and help you make sense of it – and also offer you practical tools that really work.
Take a look around and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Warmly,
Sarah Benkwitz, MA Psychology (Oxon), PgD CBT, EMDR 1-4, BABCP Practitioner & Supervisor, EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner, PSA Registered

“Having known Sarah Benkwitz for several years as both a friend and valued colleague, I’m proud to recommend her highly as a supervisor who can help you learn CFT from the inside out. She has a strong grasp of the critical nuances of CFT, and embodies what she teaches. If you want to deepen your ability to apply CFT deeply with your clients and in your own life, work with Sarah!”
"My experience in working with Sarah was truly transformative and I would highly recommend Sarah if you are seeking for a brave, warm, compassionate and supportive therapist! Being a CBT and ACT therapist myself, and knowing how difficult is to find therapist for us, helpers, I found Sarah to be a perfect match. I found Sarah's approach highly useful not only as a client - to process my personal experiences and live a more vital and engaging, valued-based life. What I processed and learned as client also enriched me as a therapist, brought new perspectives and deepening understanding of my client's challenges. I evolved into more authentic and compassionate therapist too. So... highly recommended for anyone seeking therapy, especially recommended to fellow colleagues - therapists.❤️"
"When I first started therapy, I didn't understand what it was really about, but Sarah was very approachable and put myself at ease. As time and our meetings went on, with great gratitude to this remarkable therapist, I now understand and can deal with things better than I ever imagined. I feel confident and happy. I can't put on paper enough how much Sarah has helped me and I truly thank you."
"I met Sarah when I had lost hope and wanted to die.
Sarah gave me back my life, my children, my family and my job. What helped me is a combination of her warm kindness and her skills in CFT and EMDR. I will always hold her in my heart."
"Sarah helped me to transform my life after many years of struggling. I'd seen therapists before but it felt like Sarah understood me better and got to the roots of it. She gave me new tools to build my self-compassion, and when we did the processing it was like lifting a weight off me. It was the most life changing experience. Now, I'm excited about my future. I think I was a pretty difficult case to crack, and will forever be grateful for Sarah's help. I'd encourage anyone to go and see Sarah!"
"What I found most helpful about Sarah’s clinical supervision was her unconditional support, which I felt even while she was giving me constructive feedback. I really appreciated that her focus was 100% on me and my work with my clients. Sarah has tremendous insight and I always felt very respected and seen by her. I learned so much from Sarah and I am grateful for her time, skill, and authenticity. Thank you, Sarah!"
"I contacted Sarah to work on my own blocks about compassion, getting triggered at work. I felt like an imposter! It was hard for me to let someone else be the therapist, but Sarah gave me space where I felt like I could be myself and I learned to trust in her completely. I feel I had someone to care for ME. Sarah is very skilled and clearly does her own work too. The way she supported me to deepen my self-practice has not only made me a better therapist, it has enriched my life."
