Siobhan Hopkins, BACP

Siobhan Hopkins offers online therapy for people carrying issues that have felt heavy for a long time. She creates a warm, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.

Her approach is collaborative rather than prescriptive - sessions are not about quick fixes but about working together to understand the meanings behind thoughts, feelings, and repeated patterns. That deeper understanding aims to help clients find greater clarity and more freedom in how they live and relate to others.

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

Her practice is open, affirming, and inclusive, informed by a gentle sense of humour and respect for the courage it takes to seek help. She has worked with clients dealing with relationship difficulties, survivors of abuse, grief and loss, parenting challenges, career transitions, and major life changes.

Siobhan is a BACP registered integrative therapist - BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works across Gestalt, Humanistic and Psychodynamic approaches with a Person-Centred core. She studied at Newman University in Birmingham and has lived and worked in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the United States. Siobhan welcomes clients from all over and aims to help people find hope and strength even in the most difficult moments.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and creating a non-judgemental space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach supports people seeking greater self-understanding, decision-making clarity, and improved relationships.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in how people connect with others, looking at early bonds and how they influence present relationships and emotional responses. It can be helpful for issues like attachment difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, and repeated relational patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and is often used for anxiety, stress, low mood, and coping with life changes. It provides structured strategies alongside reflective work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This exploration is flexible and evolves as the work progresses.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Working remotely can offer greater scheduling flexibility, easier access from different locations, and the ability to maintain continuity of care across life transitions. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt their methods effectively for remote sessions, helping clients engage in meaningful therapeutic work from wherever they are.
