About Siobhan

Siobhan Hopkins helps people with relationship problems, grief, parenting pressures, career changes and coping with life transitions. She uses talking therapy to look at patterns, thoughts and feelings so people can find clearer ways of managing stress, anxiety, addiction-related issues and low mood. Siobhan is a BACP member and has four years' experience working with clients in the UK and abroad.

Her sessions focus on understanding the story behind present difficulties rather than quick fixes. She uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s perspective at the centre. Siobhan draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated patterns, and she uses cognitive behavioural techniques for practical strategies when thoughts and behaviours are causing distress.

She also pays attention to attachment-related experiences and the ways early relationships affect adult connections. That can help when intimacy, commitment or communication cause repeated conflict. Siobhan lists specific experience with issues such as abandonment, codependency, domestic violence, and the emotional effects of parental adultery.

Siobhan has worked across the UK, Ireland and the USA and brings that variety of settings into how she understands cultural and faith-related questions. She offers support for people dealing with spiritual or religious concerns, including recovery from high-control faith groups or spiritual abuse.

Sessions are conversational and practical. People can expect time to tell their story, reflect on what comes up, and try out different ways of thinking or behaving. Siobhan also uses mindfulness and Jungian ideas when that helps people make sense of dreams, symbols or core beliefs.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Siobhan uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience first, listening closely and reflecting what comes up to help people make sense of their feelings. This suits people who want space to tell their story and work things through at their own pace.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based ideas are used to explore how early relationships shape adult connections and to address repeated problems in intimacy and communication.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Siobhan will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust as work progresses to find what helps best.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules by avoiding travel and allowing workday appointments or shorter check-ins, while phone or lower-bandwidth options may help when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of working to make therapy more practical for everyday life.
