About Siobhan

Siobhan Hopkins is a BACP counsellor with four years' experience working across the UK and abroad. She works with adults dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, career change, stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, intimacy issues and anger. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Siobhan uses a person-centred base alongside attachment, psychodynamic and mindfulness ideas. In practice she prioritises listening and helping people make sense of their feelings and patterns. Sessions focus on talking things through rather than quick fixes or advice.

She has particular experience with the emotional impact of growing up around addiction, postnatal depression and parental adultery. She also supports people re-evaluating faith or recovering from spiritual abuse. Siobhan describes these areas as familiar from both professional work and lived experience.

Siobhan aims to help clients notice how past relationships influence current reactions. That can include responses such as anger, avoidance or difficulty trusting. The work explores those patterns and looks at practical ways to manage them day to day.

Her style is straightforward and conversational. People meet to talk through what matters, try out small changes, and reflect on what helps. Sessions are paced to the client and to what feels manageable in the moment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Siobhan draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural approaches in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current patterns and helps people see why they react strongly in relationships. Cognitive behavioural ideas look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and try practical steps to shift them.

She treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client look at what feels most useful for the person's goals and preferences, and adjust the way they work as progress unfolds. This helps keep sessions practical and relevant to everyday life.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so please confirm current options before booking. People commonly find online sessions useful for fitting therapy around work, travel or family life, for shorter check-ins when needed, and for avoiding travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt exercises and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so that progress continues between meetings.
