Siobhan Hopkins , BACP

Siobhan Hopkins understands that beginning therapy can feel like a significant step, especially when people have carried heavy emotions for a long time. She offers online sessions delivered with warmth and respect, creating space to gently explore what is happening and to move at each person’s pace.

She believes therapy is most effective when it feels safe, supportive, and authentic. Rather than offering quick fixes or simple advice, she works collaboratively to deepen understanding of a client’s story and to uncover the meanings behind thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. That growing understanding can lead to greater clarity and more freedom in how someone lives and relates to others.

Siobhan brings professional and personal insight into issues such as postnatal depression, the impact of growing up around addiction, and the complex emotional consequences of parental adultery. She also supports people navigating spiritual or religious questions, including recovery from spiritual abuse or leaving high-control faith groups, as well as those re-evaluating belief systems that no longer feel like home.

Her practice is open, affirming, and inclusive and she combines a gentle sense of humour with deep respect for the courage it takes to seek help. Siobhan is a BACP registered integrative therapist - BACP denotes membership of the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - and she works across Gestalt, Humanistic, and Psychodynamic modalities with a Person-Centred core. She trained at Newman University in Birmingham and has lived and worked in the UK, Ireland, and the USA. Siobhan welcomes clients from a wide range of backgrounds and is open to hearing each person’s story in their own words.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Siobhan integrates approaches that support emotional insight and practical change. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current relationships - it can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and rebuilding trust. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work, offering non-judgmental listening and empathy to help people explore values, identity, and personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering tools to manage anxiety, stress, and mood challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Siobhan works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her approach as the work evolves to ensure the best possible fit.

Online therapy makes these approaches available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility allows people to access licensed professionals from different locations, schedule sessions around busy lives, and continue work during transitions or travel while maintaining regular contact and momentum in therapy.
