About Siobhan
Siobhan Hopkins is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships or health, and with people facing relationship problems, grief, parenting challenges, career uncertainty, anxiety and stress.
She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Siobhan listens for patterns that keep repeating and helps people talk through what those patterns mean for their everyday lives. She does not promise quick fixes or prescriptive advice; instead she focuses on understanding the story behind choices and feelings.
Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive approaches and depth work from Jungian and psychodynamic perspectives. That mix is used to look at how past experiences affect present relationships, and to build practical steps for coping and decision making.
Siobhan has experience with issues connected to addiction, parental betrayal, postnatal difficulties, and spiritual or faith-related concerns, including recovery from high-control groups. She also supports people facing bereavement, anger, depression and compassion fatigue.
She has studied at Newman University in Birmingham and has lived and worked in the UK, Ireland and the USA. She welcomes international enquiries and offers sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and remote work
Siobhan uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when trust, closeness or repeating relationship problems are central to what feels stuck. She also uses client-centred work that focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, which can help clarify values and immediate choices.She also draws on cognitive behavioural methods to break down unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping steps. CBT-style tools are often useful for anxiety, stress and mood-related problems where small changes in thinking or routine give relief alongside deeper reflective work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will help clients decide which methods feel most useful based on their needs, goals and personal preferences. That decision is made together rather than being imposed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people continue support if they move between countries, since she accepts international clients.
