About Siobhan
Siobhan Hopkins offers calm, straightforward support for people facing big life strains. She meets individuals who feel overwhelmed by grief, relationship breakdowns, stress, anxiety, or changes at work and home. Sessions are held online, and she aims to move at each person’s pace so they feel heard and steady as they talk through difficulties.
Her style focuses on listening closely and helping people notice patterns that keep causing pain. Siobhan uses person-centred methods so conversations feel respectful and non-judgemental.
Background and approach
She also draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions, and on cognitive approaches to help people test unhelpful thoughts. With four years of practice, she brings a mix of professional knowledge and personal understanding about issues such as addiction, parental adultery, postnatal depression and spiritual harm.
She trained at Newman University in Birmingham and has worked in the UK, Ireland and the USA. Siobhan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. People often come to Siobhan for support with parenting pressures, coping with loss, trauma and abuse, intimacy or communication problems, anger, and compassion fatigue.
She also helps those dealing with ageing concerns, blended family questions, or the emotional effects of serious illness. Her approach is welcoming and inclusive, with a gentle sense of humour. Sessions are practical and reflective: clients name problems, try out new ways of thinking, and build gradual steps forward.
Siobhan encourages people to notice their own strengths and to use those strengths in daily life.

Online support
She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how early bonds influence current relationships and reactions. That can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, communication problems or recurring cycles of conflict. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes that reduce anxiety or improve mood.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapy process. Siobhan works collaboratively with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. She checks in regularly and adapts the work as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video is close to an in-person feel and supports deeper dialogue, phone can be easier if someone needs less screen time, and text or chat suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while maintaining continuity of support.
