Siobhan Stephen, BACP

Approaches that guide online support

Siobhan uses well established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and changing unhelpful behaviours. One common approach helps people identify triggers and respond differently to anxiety and panic, teaching practical skills to reduce panic attacks and social anxiety. Another approach works on relationships and attachment, helping people understand how early patterns affect current connections and how to build healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting pace and focus as understanding grows. The process is shared so clients know why a particular technique is being tried and can give feedback along the way.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, which gives practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel more face to face, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins and messaging works well for people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and day-to-day routines while keeping the focus on progress.
