Samantha Hopkins

Hello I'm Sam thank you for taking the time to read more about me.

I have worked as a vocal coach for many years and became aware people were using singing to build confidence, overcome anxieties and find a place to express themselves. Recognising this need I decided to train as a counsellor. I completed my BACP Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling, which included a trainee placement at a local registered charity. During this time I gained experience with a variety of personal situations such as domestic violence, grief, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, abuse, trauma and complex family situations. I have worked with vulnerable clients from different minority groups.

I am commited to developing my knowledge and furthering my education by keeping my training up to date I regularly attend various CPD development courses. 

For people who are looking for a different approach to therapy this may work for you. 

I am a person centred therapist that trained as an integrative counsellor this means we may use different theories to suit you and your situation. It also means we can  work flexibly to suit your needs. 

Working with animals, nature and singing is not compulsory I have a beautiful shepherds hut we can sit comfortably to talk. For people wishing to connect with animals and nature this could be the place for you.
