Siobhan Hopkins offers calm, straightforward support for people facing hard moments. She greets each person with warmth and a non-judgemental stance, helping them talk through worries about relationships, grief, parenting and other life changes. Sessions are online and paced to the individual so people can begin where they feel able to begin.

Siobhan focuses on understanding patterns that keep causing pain rather than giving quick fixes. She listens for the stories behind feelings like anxiety, anger, low mood and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Together with the client she looks at how past attachment and life events shape current reactions and close relationships. Her practice includes help with addiction-related impact, trauma and abuse, sexual and intimacy concerns, communication and commitment issues. Siobhan also supports people dealing with bereavement, major life transitions, career strain and the stresses of caregiving.

Siobhan trained at Newman University in Birmingham and has lived and worked in the UK, Ireland and the USA. She is BACP accredited, which means she is on the register with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and works to their professional standards.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ways of thinking, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness, with influences from Jungian and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions aim to build clearer self-understanding and practical steps for coping. People are invited to bring whatever feels important to them, including questions about faith or spiritual harm.

Siobhan describes her style as open, affirming and occasionally gently humorous while remaining respectful of the difficult work involved.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Siobhan draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds and relationship patterns affect feelings and behaviour now; this can help with intimacy problems, trust issues and reactions to loss. She also uses client-centred practice which focuses on deep listening, reflecting what the person says and offering a supportive space to make sense of experiences. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used alongside these approaches to identify unhelpful thinking and to practise small, practical changes that reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt methods over time. Decisions about techniques and pacing are collaborative so therapy fits the person's life and aims.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging lets people write between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of support.
