About Siobhan
She works from a person-centred stance that puts the client's experience at the heart of the conversation. That means listening closely, reflecting what is said, and helping people name patterns that repeat in their relationships and choices. Sessions are not about quick fixes or advice but about understanding the story behind thoughts and feelings.
Siobhan brings particular understanding around experiences such as postnatal depression, growing up with addiction, parental adultery and the fallout that can follow. She also supports people dealing with crisis of faith, spiritual abuse, and re-evaluating belief systems. This mix of professional and personal insight often helps people feel seen without needing to spell out every detail.
Her approach draws on attachment-based work, cognitive ideas, Jungian perspectives and mindfulness, all held within a person-centred frame. Over time this can help clients gain clarity, reduce unhelpful patterns, and make more considered choices about relationships, parenting and career paths.
Siobhan trained at Newman University in Birmingham and has worked in the United Kingdom, Ireland and the USA. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP.

How Siobhan's approaches work online
Siobhan draws on attachment-based and client-centred ways of working and also uses elements of cognitive behavioural ideas. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current trust and closeness, and it can help when people want to change patterns in love or parenting. Client-centred work focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions rather than giving advice. Cognitive behavioural ideas help spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to test them out.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Siobhan will talk with each person about what feels most useful and tailor sessions to their goals, needs and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel demands, which can make ongoing work more sustainable. Online meetings can also allow for shorter check-ins when life is busy, or conversation-only sessions when video is difficult. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available.
