About Siobhan

Siobhan Hopkins is a BACP counsellor with four years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, relationship and parenting difficulties, grief, addiction-related issues and life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse and intimacy-related problems.

She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Siobhan listens for patterns that turn up again and again in how someone relates to others and to themselves. She does not promise quick fixes but helps people name what is happening and spot small, practical steps they can try between sessions.

Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred work, with cognitive behavioural techniques and elements from Jungian and mindfulness approaches. That mix is used to help people understand feelings, experiment with new responses, and notice the connections between past experiences and current struggles.

Siobhan has experience with issues such as parental adultery, growing up around addiction, postnatal depression, and recovering from controlling faith systems. She is also familiar with challenges linked to ageing, caregiving stress, codependency and communication breakdowns.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts clients from the UK and internationally. To begin, readers are invited to use the service's online matching steps to select an appointment and complete a short questionnaire before booking a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Siobhan uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This can help when trust, closeness or fear of rejection affect social situations and relationships. She also draws on client-centred work which focuses on listening, reflecting and following what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavioural changes to reduce stress and anxiety.

Working out which approaches suit someone is part of the work. She treats that as a shared process and will discuss goals, preferences and practicalities with each client to adjust the focus over time. The aim is to find methods that feel manageable and relevant to the issues being brought into sessions.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, reduce travel and allow a shorter check-in where helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to maintain continuity when travel or work routines change, and the therapist will discuss how to structure appointments so they suit the client's day-to-day circumstances.
