About Sarah
Sarah Hopkins is a counsellor who practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She has four years of professional experience supporting people through anxiety, stress and depression. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and acknowledges how hard it can be to begin.
She encourages an open space where thoughts and feelings can be said without judgement. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client right now, whether that is coping with grief, building confidence, or managing panic attacks. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at helping people feel a bit less overwhelmed.
Sarah blends Psychodynamic Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. That mix allows time to look at patterns from the past while also finding practical steps to try between sessions. She uses a short-term focus when clients want clear, immediate changes and a longer view when people want to understand repeating patterns.
Her background includes supporting people with family problems, workplace stress, chronic illness and caregiver strain. She also works with issues such as anger, sleeping difficulties, guilt and isolation. Sarah describes herself as approachable and practical in session.
For people concerned about panic disorder and panic attacks she offers a calm, steady approach and practical coping ideas. If you want to explore whether she might be a good fit, use the site matching system to begin the process and arrange a time to meet.
How Sarah’s approaches translate to online therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeating patterns and how earlier relationships affect current feelings. In sessions this can mean gently noticing themes in how someone reacts to stress or panic and using that understanding to reduce unhelpful cycles.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, practical steps and small changes. It helps people identify what works for them, set achievable goals and try simple strategies between sessions to relieve anxiety or manage attacks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sarah will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt the balance of deeper reflection and practical steps. That collaboration helps make sessions relevant from the first few meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the available biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people try different ways of working quickly, such as focusing on tasks between sessions or using brief coaching-style conversations for immediate coping.
