Siobhan Hopkins

Siobhan Hopkins is a counsellor who aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by anger, loss, stress or big life changes. She explains things simply and gently, and works at a pace that feels manageable. Siobhan welcomes people who are wrestling with relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, career uncertainty, addiction or anxiety.

Her approach is grounded in listening and making sense of the patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, thoughts and habits rather than quick fixes. Over time this can open up new ways of relating to others and to yourself.

Siobhan draws on several ways of working that suit different needs. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps break unhelpful thinking and behaviour cycles. Mindfulness work brings attention back to the present moment and calms reactivity.

She names her BACP credential, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Siobhan trained at Newman University in Birmingham and has lived and worked in the UK, Ireland and the USA.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Her style is open, affirming and practical, with a gentle sense of humour to ease difficult conversations.

How her approaches can work online

Siobhan uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, which can help with anger and relationship patterns. Client-Centred work focuses on the person's experience and offers space to be heard without judgement, useful for grief and career stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can provide clear steps to reduce anxiety and compulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods as the work progresses. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the concerns you bring.

The biography does not specify exact online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from other locations. It also supports using practical exercises between sessions, such as mindful pauses or CBT worksheets, so learning can continue in everyday life.
