Siobhan Hopkins , BACP

Siobhan Hopkins offers accessible online therapy to people working through relationship difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, career crossroads, and the everyday stresses that can feel overwhelming. She supports clients coping with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and the complex fallout of family and life changes. With a warm, open style and a gentle sense of humour, she focuses on understanding each person’s story and helping them find clearer ways to live and relate.

She brings particular experience with experiences such as postnatal depression, the impact of growing up around addiction, and the emotional consequences of parental adultery, and she is also experienced in supporting people re-evaluating spiritual or religious beliefs, including recovery from spiritual abuse or involvement in high-control faith groups. Her practice is inclusive and affirming, inviting clients to speak in their own words without needing to explain the unspoken.

Siobhan is a BACP registered therapist - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She describes her work as integrative, drawing on Gestalt, humanistic and psychodynamic ideas with a person-centred core, and she tailors those approaches to the needs of each client. She studied at Newman University in Birmingham and has lived and worked in the UK, Ireland and the USA, and she welcomes clients from across locations. Above all, she aims to help people locate hope and strength so they can move forward as the authors of their own stories.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Siobhan Hopkins

Client-centered therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and respect so people can explore their feelings and values at their own pace. This approach helps with relationship struggles, identity questions, grief, and moments of life transition by creating space to make sense of what matters most.

Attachment-based therapy focuses on patterns that develop in close relationships - how people connect, respond to loss, and manage intimacy. It can be useful for those working through abandonment, attachment issues, family difficulties, or long-standing relational patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, often supporting work on anxiety, stress, depression, and coping strategies for everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. Siobhan works with each person to tailor methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, combining elements of different approaches where that best supports progress.

Online therapy with Siobhan is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, or different communication preferences. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt methods to the online setting.
