Sarah HOPKINS
Psychodynamic counsellorAbout Me
Are you feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed coping with the challenges of life? I can offer a safe and confidential space to explore your life and the challenges you are facing. Perhaps you are experiencing negative thoughts or a low mood and are finding it difficult to experience any joy in life or are having difficulties connecting with others? Are you feeling underconfident in your abilities to deal with life's challenges. Perhaps the patterns of thinking or behaviour that previously helped you cope with life are no longer helping you?
I’m a qualified counsellor with experience supporting clients who have experienced stress, anxiety and/or depression and clients who have experienced bereavement and loss.
I have experience working as a freelance counsellor at a local wellbeing centre, NHS and have previously worked for a charity offering counselling and am also a former Samaritans volunteer.
I have an interest in meditation and mindfulness as I believe that being aware of the present moment, our thoughts and feelings can calm our minds and help us to be more self-aware.
What I offer
I offer the psychodynamic approach to counselling where we will explore how your current problems may be influenced by your past experiences. This approach helps you become more aware of your emotions and bring the unconscious into consciousness.
I offer both short-term (6-12 sessions) and long-term counselling either face to face, via zoom or over the telephone.
