Siobhan Hopkins
Practical, warm online therapy for life’s hard moments
About Siobhan
Siobhan Hopkins welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or worn out by life’s demands. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and approachable, and she focuses on helping people talk through relationship pain, grief, parenting strain, career shifts and anxiety in plain, practical ways. Sessions with Siobhan are collaborative and paced to the client.
She listens for patterns that keep causing distress and helps people notice the links between past experiences and present reactions.
Background and approach
Conversations are down-to-earth rather than full of jargon, and practical strategies are offered alongside reflective work. Her background includes study at Newman University in Birmingham and professional time spent living and working in the United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States. Siobhan holds BACP registration, which indicates adherence to professional standards and practice.
She draws on several therapeutic traditions to tailor the work to each person. That might mean exploring attachment dynamics, using mindful techniques to manage stress, or applying cognitive strategies to shift unhelpful thinking. Jungian and psychodynamic ideas may be used to uncover deeper meanings when appropriate.
Siobhan is especially familiar with issues like postnatal depression, the effects of growing up around addiction, parental infidelity and spiritual or religious doubts. She also supports people facing addiction, trauma, anger, low mood and compassion fatigue. She welcomes international clients and offers online sessions in English.
Her approach is warm, non-judgemental and occasionally gently humorous. The aim is to help people find clearer footing, rediscover strengths and make changes that feel sustainable over time.

How Siobhan’s approaches work online
Siobhan often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reacting and relating. This can help when intimacy, abandonment or repeated relationship patterns are causing distress. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical ways to think and act differently to reduce anxiety and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and temperament, and this may change as therapy progresses. The focus is on what helps the individual feel clearer and more able to manage day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, chat can be a shorter check-in and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on the therapeutic process.
