Siobhan Stephen , BACP

Siobhan Stephen is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues and grief. She also offers support around women's issues and related concerns such as body image, self-love and social anxiety. Siobhan holds BACP accreditation and brings 14 years of professional experience to her work.

She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Siobhan listens, reflects what she hears and helps clients find ways forward that fit their life.

Her approach is collaborative. She works at a pace that suits each person and focuses on small, achievable steps. Many people come to address panic, seasonal low moods, relationship breakups or struggles with addiction and find that clear goals help them feel more in control.

Siobhan also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and guilt or shame. She helps clients untangle patterns that cause repeated pain and build different ways of relating to themselves and others.

Practical arrangements include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. For those ready to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to the therapist's availability.

Therapy approaches and how online sessions help

Siobhan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make practical changes. One common approach is talking-based work that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then tries alternative ways of responding. This can be useful for anxiety, panic and social phobia by teaching new ways to manage troubling thoughts and reactions.

Another frequently used approach focuses on relationships and attachment. This style looks at repeated patterns in how someone connects with others and with themselves, and it supports building healthier ways of relating. It is often helpful for problems such as codependency, abandonment issues and difficulties after separation or divorce.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide what methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences. That agreement can change over time as progress is made or circumstances shift.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need to fit support around busy schedules. These options make it simpler to work with a therapist from different locations within the UK and to choose the format that fits daily life.
