Siobhan Hopkins , BACP

Siobhan Hopkins is a BACP-registered therapist who offers online sessions for people navigating both recent challenges and long-standing emotional patterns. She provides a warm, supportive space where clients can move at their own pace while exploring what feels heavy or confusing in their lives. Sessions are collaborative rather than prescriptive - the focus is on understanding personal stories and the meanings behind thoughts, feelings, and behaviours so clients can find greater clarity and freedom.

She brings particular insight into issues such as postnatal depression, the impact of growing up around addiction, and the complex emotional effects of parental adultery, and she is comfortable working with spiritual and religious questions including recovery from spiritual abuse and experiences in high-control faith groups. Her clinical experience also encompasses relationship difficulties, survivors of abuse, grief and loss, parenting challenges, career transitions, and major life changes.

Siobhan is a BACP registered Integrative Therapist working across Gestalt, Humanistic and Psychodynamic modalities with a Person-Centred core. BACP indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She studied at Newman University in Birmingham and has lived and worked in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the USA, welcoming clients from across different locations.

Her approach is open, affirming, and inclusive, with a gentle sense of humour and deep respect for the courage it takes to seek help. Siobhan aims to support people in finding hope and strength in difficult moments and to help them discover their own resources for change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Siobhan draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, non-judgmental space where the client’s experience guides the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and listening so people can explore their values, choices, and relationships at a comfortable pace.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns in close relationships and early bonding experiences that continue to shape emotional responses and expectations. This approach can be helpful for issues like intimacy-related concerns, abandonment fears, and recurring relationship difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, supporting work on anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Techniques from CBT can be combined with other approaches to address both immediate symptoms and deeper relational themes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined collaboratively. Siobhan works with each person to consider their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so therapy remains grounded in what is most useful for the individual.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support across locations. These options provide flexibility in how and when people connect with a licensed professional, making consistent progress more achievable for many clients.
