Sarah Fronte Post Graduate Diploma In Counselling

I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling  awarded through Manchester Metropolitan University.

As well as my main qualification I have also undertaken further training in Mindfulness, CBT, and Hypnotherapy.

I have Accredited Registrant membership with the National Counselling Society  & am bound by their framework for ethics & good practice.

I am a recognised provider for several Private Medical Insurance Providers.

I take my professional development seriously and attend several workshops & training days each year to improve and enhance my practice.

I have a particular interest in Anxiety Management and helping clients learn & develop techniques to manage their anxiety.
I also enjoy helping clients manage and control Anger Issues and issues with Communication, using Mindfulness and CBT and now Hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy can be used in the sessions where appropriate and can help to enhance a client’s understanding and awareness. Using deep relaxation we can ‘journey’ to the subconscious which can be hugely beneficial to the therapeutic process and personal growth and development.

During my training I counselled on placement at Reaseheath College near Nantwich where I supported young people work through a range of issues, and also at Brine Leas High School in Nantwich.

As well as my private practice I have also provided counselling at Brine Leas High School & in a voluntary & paid role for The Dove Service in Hanley, which is a bereavement charity offering counselling & support to those affected by bereavement & significant loss including life-changing illness.

I see adults and teenagers at my private practice in Nantwich. My training and experience allows me to support clients wishing to work on any issue & my training was based on the 'Person-Centred'approach. I also offer clients telephone video call appointments which must be booked in the usual way as face to face sessions

Whilst my approach is underpinned by my Person-Centred training, I also like to work adaptively with clients, as individuals and am able to offer the following as part of the sessions if I feel it may be beneficial:
Certain issues such as Anxiety, Depression or Anger can sometimes benefit from 'CBT' (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) Relaxation & Breathing Techniques, Mindfulness & Meditation. Hypnotherapy (Post Graduate Certificate in Integrating Hypnotherapy with Psychotherapy- Level 7. Manchester Institute of Psychotherapy. Dr Jonathan Lloyd.

While I'm not counselling I enjoy spending my down time with my houseplants & husband and two, now not so little children, now aged 24 & 28 and our dog Leo, who is a a therapy dog with Pets as Therapy and can happily sleep at our feet in the counselling room if you would like to invite him to!
