About Siobhan
Siobhan Hopkins offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people who are carrying heavy feelings. She explains things simply and works at a pace that suits each person. Sessions are offered online and aim to make it easier to understand what is getting in the way of day-to-day life.
Siobhan focuses on helping people with relationship difficulties, grief, parenting pressures and career questions. She also supports those dealing with anxiety, stress, addiction, trauma and intimacy-related problems.
Background and approach
Many people come to her with issues around anger, depression, or the emotional impact of major life changes. Her background includes work across the UK, Ireland and the USA. She trained at Newman University in Birmingham and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Siobhan has four years' experience in clinical practice and draws on a mix of therapeutic ideas to suit each person. In sessions she uses a person-centred way of working combined with attachment-based thinking and cognitive approaches when useful. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person, with attention to relationship patterns and practical steps to try between meetings.
Sessions are straightforward and conversational rather than full of jargon. People who come to Siobhan often want space to make sense of their story, or tools to cope better day to day. She offers support for issues such as abandonment, codependency, blended family stress, caregiving strain, and the aftermath of abuse or domestic violence.
She welcomes people from all backgrounds and from around the world.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online this can help people make sense of repeated difficulties in close relationships and practise new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens with openness and helps the person find their own answers rather than offering directives. Cognitive behavioural ideas focus on how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offer practical steps and experiments to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and agree what feels most useful based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. That means sessions are a collaboration and can change over time as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual connection, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can fit into busy schedules and suit people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make therapy more accessible and flexible for different routines and lifestyles.
