About Siobhan
Counsellor Siobhan Stephen is a BACP member with 14 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues and grief. Sessions are presented in English and she does not work with international clients.
Siobhan uses straightforward, person-focused counselling. She listens to what matters and helps clients talk through thoughts and feelings. Her approach aims to reduce intense distress and improve daily coping rather than promise quick fixes.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns linked to attachment and loss. This includes abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and divorce or separation. She also helps with drug and alcohol addiction, panic attacks, social anxiety and seasonal affective disorder.
Siobhan assists with personal and practical difficulties too. That includes body image, control issues, guilt and shame, money troubles and isolation. She also supports women facing issues specific to their lives.
Clients can expect a calm, direct style that focuses on clear goals and small steps. Siobhan asks about day-to-day problems and looks at patterns that maintain them. The work is collaborative - she and the client decide what to focus on and how to move forward.
How therapeutic approaches guide online counselling
Siobhan works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, feelings and behaviour. One common approach looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches ways to respond differently to stress and anxiety. This can help with panic attacks, social anxiety and low mood. Another approach looks at attachment and relational patterns. It helps people notice how early relationships affect current trust, closeness and control issues. That can be useful for abandonment, codependency and relationship concerns. Choosing the right method is part of the work. Siobhan will discuss different ways of working and decide together what fits the person's goals and preferences. The choice can change as progress is made and new issues appear. Practical benefits of online counselling should be checked with Siobhan before booking because session formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
