About Siobhan
Siobhan Hopkins welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain about next steps. She introduces a calm, compassionate space where conversations move at the client’s pace and nothing is rushed. Siobhan writes plainly and listens closely so people can say what matters without having to explain unspoken things.
She focuses on relationship issues, grief, parenting strains, career decisions and coping with major life changes. Stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and the fallout from trauma or abuse are also part of her practice.
Background and approach
Siobhan also supports people with intimacy-related concerns, anger and compassion fatigue, and helps those rethinking spiritual or religious beliefs. Siobhan trained at Newman University in Birmingham and has lived and worked in the UK, Ireland and the USA. She is BACP registered, which reflects her professional standing with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Her work draws on several approaches, including attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions aim to deepen understanding of recurring patterns and to find practical ways to move forward. People often come for help untangling family issues, addiction-related impact, or the emotional effects of parental betrayal.
She offers an open, affirming style that mixes warmth and a gentle sense of humour. Siobhan’s intention is to help people reconnect with their strengths and find clearer choices in everyday life. If you want a steady, thoughtful space to talk things through, she invites you to begin the process.

How Siobhan works online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflection. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, helping them make sense of their story without giving advice. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to talk things through and find their own solutions.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and how they interact. It offers practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns and ease anxiety, low mood or stress symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to agree what feels most helpful given the person’s goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach first and adapting over time as needs change.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or family life and reducing travel time. Different ways of working can make it easier to attend a short check-in during a lunch break or to use less bandwidth if needed. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered here, so please confirm current options before booking.
