About Siobhan
Siobhan Hopkins offers a calm and down-to-earth way into therapy for people carrying heavy, long-standing concerns. She meets people where they are and moves at a pace they can manage. Her manner is warm, open and quietly humorous, and she aims to help people find practical relief and clearer ways of living.
She focuses on understanding personal stories rather than handing out quick fixes. Sessions are used to make sense of patterns in relationships, grief, addiction, parenting pressures, career difficulties, and big life changes. She describes working with the emotional aftermath of things like parental adultery and growing up around addiction, and she also supports people dealing with loss and compassion fatigue.
Siobhan draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural thinking, Jungian perspectives and mindfulness in sessions. That mix helps bring both practical strategies and space to explore deeper meaning. She says therapy often brings clarity and a sense of greater freedom in how people relate to themselves and others.
She is a BACP counsellor, and trained at Newman University in Birmingham. Her background includes living and working in the UK, Ireland and the USA, and she welcomes people from a wide range of backgrounds. Sessions are described as collaborative and respectful, with an emphasis on listening to each person’s story.
To begin she asks people to share their experience in their own words. The aim is to help individuals uncover strengths and small steps forward, even when things feel overwhelming.
Approaches that translate well online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds. Online conversations can help people notice and shift repeating patterns in relationships and intimacy. Client-centred practice centres the person in the room, offering empathic listening and acceptance so clients can explore feelings and decisions at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) introduces clear, practical steps to test and change unhelpful thoughts and habits, which can be practised between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose or blend methods that match their goals, history and preferences. That collaboration means the approach can change as needs evolve, and clients play an active role in shaping the work.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Many people value the way remote sessions can fit into busy lives, helping to schedule therapy around work, childcare and travel. Online work can make it easier to keep momentum between meetings and to try practical exercises in everyday settings, while keeping the focus on the aims you set with your therapist.
