About Siobhan
Siobhan Hopkins is a counsellor who helps people facing worry, stress and life changes. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, career uncertainty, addiction issues and other painful experiences. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online for people outside the UK as well.
She keeps sessions straightforward and human. Conversations focus on what is happening now and how past experiences still affect daily life.
Background and approach
Siobhan aims to slow things down so clients can notice patterns, make sense of feelings, and find practical ways to cope. Her background includes a Bachelor-level training at Newman University in Birmingham and a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration. Siobhan has four years of professional experience and has worked in the UK, Ireland and the USA.
She draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people change unhelpful habits and strengthen relationships. Jungian and mindfulness approaches also inform her work when exploring meaning, values and inner experience. Sessions tend to be gentle but direct.
Siobhan invites honest talk about difficult topics such as loss, trauma, spiritual or faith-related concerns, and family or parenting struggles. The focus is on helping each person find clearer choices and more breathing room in everyday life.
How therapy approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and trust. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships and develop new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and improve closeness.Client-centred therapy is built around empathic listening and accepting the person as they are. In this approach the counsellor follows the client's pace and priorities, which can be especially helpful when navigating grief, spiritual questions or big life changes.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and provides practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. This approach often helps with anxiety, stress and managing low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can suit low bandwidth or a quick check-in, and messaging can work for brief updates or when writing helps to process thoughts. These formats make it easier to attend from different locations and to fit therapy around work and family commitments.
