About Sarah
Sarah Hopkins is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of professional experience supporting people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. Sarah aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable and straightforward for anyone who is nervous about starting.
Sarah focuses on practical, everyday concerns such as coping with grief, low self-esteem, motivation and sleep problems. She also works with people facing relationship strain, workplace pressures, chronic illness and caregiver stress.
Background and approach
Sessions cover issues like panic attacks, anger and questions about life purpose in plain, ordinary language. Her approach is conversational and down to earth. She helps people identify small, achievable changes rather than delivering long lectures.
Clients can expect calm listening and straightforward reflections to help make sense of what is going on. Sarah combines psychodynamic ideas about how past experience shapes current feelings with solution-focused techniques that aim for quick, practical steps. That mix lets people understand deeper patterns while also trying out immediate strategies to feel better.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sarah uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time, and she works with each person to match the approach to their situation.
If someone decides to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments according to the therapist's availability.

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes that can be tried right away. It is useful when someone wants quick strategies to manage stress, improve sleep, or handle specific problems at work or home.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that fit the person's situation. Together they may use insight from psychodynamic ideas and hands-on tasks from solution-focused work.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for different routines. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face style conversation, phone sessions can be lighter and easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat allow for shorter check-ins or messaging between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs while keeping the focus on practical progress.
