About

Karen Hopkins is an accredited psychotherapist and EMDR therapist with a specialist focus on trauma. She currently works at Nightingale Hospital, where she provides outpatient therapy to adults navigating a range of mental health concerns. Her clinical experience includes supporting individuals affected by anxiety, depression, panic attacks, mood and personality disorders, PTSD, stress, and work-related stress, as well as those experiencing sleep difficulties, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, interpersonal challenges, and ADHD.
Karen has worked across various care settings within general adult mental health services, including community-based services supporting individuals with moderate to severe psychological difficulties. She also has experience working in a specialist NHS secondary care service that treated patients with complex mood disorders, recurrent or atypical depression, and personality-related difficulties. Her work has often involved supporting individuals dealing with the impact of complex trauma.
In her therapeutic work, Karen takes a trauma-informed approach that combines traditional psychotherapy with eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), somatic trauma therapy, and counselling. Her approach looks at present-day challenges, past experiences, and future goals, helping individuals understand how early life events and attachment disruptions may shape emotional wellbeing in adulthood. She works with clients on issues such as emotional dysregulation, chronic shame and guilt, dissociation, and negative self-image, and supports them in developing healthier relationships with themselves and others.
Karen holds an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy from Middlesex University and an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy from the Minster Centre. She has also completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling, EMDR training with Richman EMDR Training, and a Certificate in Somatic Trauma Therapy with Babette Rothschild. In addition to her role at Nightingale Hospital, she has a private practice in London and previous experience working in NHS and charitable organisations.
She is an accredited member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a registered EMDR practitioner, and a member of the European Society for Trauma and Dissociation.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”

LOCAL CARE CONTEXT

Why local healthcare in London matters

Medical practice in United Kingdom is governed by country-specific licensing, professional standards, and patient-safety regulations. Practitioners listed here are registered with the relevant United Kingdom medical authority and operate within national rules on scope of practice, prescribing rights, and continuing professional development. Care delivered in London carries the additional benefits of local language support, in-person follow-up, and direct coordination with regional hospitals and labs. A verified profile means EuroClinics has cross-checked the practitioner or clinic against an official source (national medical register, public licence database, or the practitioner themselves), and that the data shown here matches that source as of the last verification date above.
