Sarah Hopkins, BACP
Sarah Hopkins is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
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 struggling with things like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person’s courage.
She creates a calm space where someone can talk about difficult feelings without fear of judgement. Conversations focus on the issues that feel most urgent, from grief and loss to problems sleeping or coping with life change.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and aim to help people make sense of what is happening for them right now. Her work draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past that still affect daily life. She also uses solution-focused techniques to help people find practical next steps and small changes that make a difference.
Together these ways of working help with both understanding and forward movement. Sessions suit people who want a gentle, conversational style and a therapist who listens closely. Sarah pays attention to how emotions and relationships shape wellbeing, and she supports people to try things differently between sessions.
Progress is paced to fit each person’s needs and goals. Sarah works online with video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. This range of formats helps people choose what fits their day, energy and communication style.

Online support
Solution-focused work centres on small, practical steps and clear goals. Sessions may include identifying what is already working, setting short-term aims and trying out small changes between meetings to build momentum.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree together which method or mix of methods feels most helpful. This is a collaborative conversation and can change as work progresses.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when interaction and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants to avoid being on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexibility when written reflection feels easier. These options allow people to pick the format that suits their schedule, energy and communication style.
