About Siobhan
Siobhan Hopkins is a counsellor and a BACP registered practitioner with four years of experience. She works with relationship issues, grief, parenting concerns, career change, stress and anxiety, and a range of other life challenges including trauma and addictions. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients who want to work remotely from the United Kingdom.
Siobhan uses a mix of approaches that centre on understanding patterns in relationships and feelings. Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape present behaviour. She also uses client-centred listening to make space for what matters to each person, and draws on cognitive behavioural techniques when people want practical strategies for managing thoughts and mood.
She has supported people coping with parental adultery, growing up around addiction, postnatal depression, bereavement and career shifts. Siobhan also works with those reassessing spiritual or religious beliefs, including recovery from high-control faith groups. The profile lists several additional concerns she addresses, such as codependency, communication problems, domestic violence and caregiver stress.
Siobhan studied at Newman University in Birmingham and has lived and worked in the UK, Ireland and the USA. Her practice is informed by a blend of person-centred, psychodynamic and humanistic influences. She presents a direct, conversational style and includes moments of gentle humour where appropriate.

How her approaches work in online counselling
Siobhan uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present-day reactions. This helps when someone notices repeated patterns in intimacy, trust or anger and wants to understand where they come from.She also works in a client-centred way, which means listening openly to each person and following what they say matters most. That approach suits people who need time to tell their story and be understood without quick fixes.
She uses cognitive behavioural techniques when practical tools are useful, for example to manage anxiety, low mood or unhelpful thought habits. CBT-style work usually involves setting small goals and trying straightforward exercises between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and they will decide together how to proceed.
