About Siobhan
Siobhan Hopkins is a counsellor who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, grief, relationship issues and life changes. She works online with a calm, down-to-earth style and seeks to make sessions approachable for someone logging on from a busy day.
Siobhan uses clear conversation rather than quick fixes, and she encourages clients to move at a pace that feels right for them. Her practice is grounded in person-centred values, with attention to attachment patterns and practical thinking strategies.
Background and approach
That means sessions focus on understanding what keeps problems repeating and on small steps that can change day-to-day life. She also draws on mindfulness and Jungian ideas to help people make sense of feelings and deeper themes. Siobhan has four years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She studied at Newman University in Birmingham and has lived and worked in the UK, Ireland and the USA. This background shapes a flexible, cross-cultural outlook in her work. She offers support for a wide range of concerns including coping with addiction, trauma and abuse, parental adultery, postnatal depression, compassion fatigue, career stress and bereavement.
She also listens to people questioning faith or recovering from spiritual harm. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Her way of working is warm, open and occasionally light-hearted.
Siobhan encourages people to tell their story in their own words and to notice the strengths they already have. The earlier steps are practical and conversational, aimed at creating steady change rather than sudden fixes.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Siobhan often works from a person-centred base that prioritises listening and understanding. This approach helps people feel heard and encourages self-directed change by building on existing strengths and values.She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. This can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, trust or repeated relational patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is another element she brings in to help identify unhelpful thinking and to practise small behavioural changes that improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and adapt methods to suit your goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That collaboration helps to match techniques to the problems you want to address rather than sticking to a single method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that's important, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text-based messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or for fitting therapy into busy days. These formats make it easier to keep continuity, manage appointments around caring or work commitments, and try different ways of engaging with therapy.
