About Siobhan
BACP. 14 years' experience. Siobhan Stephen works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties and grief. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, codependency, control issues, divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, money worries, panic attacks, seasonal affective disorder, self‑love, social anxiety and women's issues.
Siobhan creates a straightforward, non-judgemental counselling space where clients can speak about what matters to them. She describes the work as practical and supportive, helping people talk through feelings and habits that are getting in the way of daily life. Sessions aim to identify patterns, try out different ways of thinking and behaving, and plan manageable next steps.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens for recurring themes such as attachment or control, and links these to the difficulties a person brings. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, addiction and relationship problems, adapting the approach to a person's situation.
Siobhan has been working in the UK for 14 years and holds BACP accreditation. That means she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, as supplied in her credentials. She offers counselling in English and does not work with international clients.
People who choose her can expect practical conversation and concrete steps between sessions. To start, clients are asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling can help
Siobhan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems such as anxiety, addiction and relationship difficulties. One commonly used approach works on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing alternative thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and panic. Another approach focuses on patterns in close relationships and attachment, helping people understand why they repeat certain reactions and how to try different responses.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to agree which techniques match their needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. The aim is to find methods that feel practical and helpful for daily life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for quicker follow-up conversations between appointments. It can also offer simpler ways to check in when someone needs a shorter meeting or wishes to avoid being on camera for part of a session.
