About Siobhan

Her style is warm and affirming, with a person-centred core that keeps the client’s experience central. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual, not prescriptive or about quick fixes.
Background and approach
Siobhan helps people look at the meaning behind thoughts, feelings and behaviours to find clearer ways to cope. She draws on a range of approaches including attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking to suit different needs. This mix allows practical strategies for stress and anxiety alongside deeper work on past events and relational patterns.
She also uses mindfulness and Jungian perspectives when helpful. Siobhan has four years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes study at Newman University in Birmingham and periods living and working across the UK, Ireland and the USA.
She welcomes people from varied backgrounds, including those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, relationship strain and parenting challenges.

She describes therapy as a collaboration that aims to build clarity, hope and practical ways to manage day-to-day life.

Approaches you can try in online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, and it can help people who notice repeating patterns in close relationships. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathy and acceptance so people can explore their own answers. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and gives practical strategies for anxiety, depression and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and together they will choose which ideas to use. This makes work feel collaborative and tailored rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be a good option when less bandwidth is available or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Text and live chat suit shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
