About Siobhan
Siobhan Hopkins is a BACP counsellor with four years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing relationship problems, grief, parenting strain, career uncertainty, stress, anxiety, addiction issues and the fallout of trauma and abuse. People also seek her out for struggles with intimacy, anger, depression and compassion fatigue.
Her way of working is rooted in person-centred practice. Sessions focus on talking through what feels most pressing. She helps people name patterns and links between past experiences and present reactions. There is no rush to solutions; conversations move at a pace that feels manageable.
Siobhan draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current connections. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and practical steps to shift those patterns. Jungian and mindfulness ideas can appear in sessions when they help a person understand inner images, meaning or coping strategies.
She brings particular experience of issues connected to parental adultery, growing up around addiction, postnatal depression, and spiritual or religious questions including recovery from spiritual abuse. That background informs how she listens but she does not assume any single explanation fits everyone.
Siobhan trained at Newman University in Birmingham and has worked in the UK, Ireland and the USA. She welcomes conversations in English and is open to working with clients based outside the UK. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Siobhan uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current reactions and patterns of relating, which can be useful when guilt or shame link back to carers or past bonds. Client-centred practice means sessions focus on the person's immediate concerns and feelings, with the counsellor reflecting and clarifying rather than directing the conversation. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical experiments to change them.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and can change over time as different issues emerge.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to work with people who live in other parts of the UK or abroad. If someone prefers certain rhythms or practical arrangements, that can be discussed when arranging the first appointment.
