About Sarah

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience, Sarah Hopkins helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with life changes, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, career questions and ADHD-related concerns.

Sarah creates a calm space for people to talk through what matters to them. She uses straightforward conversation to clarify pressures and find practical next steps. Sessions aim to make everyday problems easier to manage rather than focus on jargon or labels.

Her background includes work supporting people with caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and workplace strain. She also addresses feelings of guilt, shame and isolation that can come with midlife shifts or major life decisions. Panic and women’s issues are part of her experience too.

Sarah draws on psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches. That means she pays attention to recurring patterns in someone’s life while also identifying immediate, achievable changes. The balance helps people both understand where problems come from and try small experiments that can reduce distress.

Sessions tend to be practical and conversational. Sarah encourages straightforward goals and regular review so people can see what helps. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Psychodynamic therapy looks at repeated patterns in a person’s feelings and relationships. In an online setting this can mean noticing themes that come up across sessions and talking through where they might come from.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical changes that can be tried between meetings. Online work suits this by allowing quick check-ins about experiments and adjustments to plans based on what did or did not help.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether more time on patterns or more short-term, solution-focused work is the best fit. That choice is reviewed as goals and needs evolve, and it is a collaborative discussion rather than a fixed prescription.

The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting therapy around everyday commitments. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to have brief catch-ups or fuller sessions on different days. Confirm the current session format options before booking so arrangements match your routine.
