Siobhan Stephen, BACP

Siobhan Stephen helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain and grief. She also supports concerns such as panic attacks, social anxiety, body image, codependency and feelings of guilt or shame. Siobhan is based in the United Kingdom and has 14 years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She aims to build an open space where clients can talk without fear of judgement. Sessions focus on understanding what is causing distress and finding practical ways to cope. Siobhan encourages small, manageable steps so change feels possible rather than overwhelming.

Her work pays attention to how past attachments and patterns of relating shape current difficulties. Conversations look at ways to increase self-compassion, set healthier boundaries and reduce the hold of addictive behaviour. She also addresses practical issues like money worries and the emotional impact of separation.

Siobhan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to each person. Sessions can be tailored to short-term goals or longer-term personal growth. She aims to be straightforward and warm, helping people make sense of feelings and choose realistic next steps.

People meet Siobhan by starting with a short matching process and then arranging sessions by mutual agreement. Therapy is offered remotely through several formats so work can fit around life commitments. Fees vary with location and subscription terms, which can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that guide online work and support

Siobhan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage intense feelings and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach looks at how past attachment experiences affect current relationships and emotional reactions, helping people recognise patterns and try different responses. Another approach focuses on practical coping strategies for anxiety and panic, teaching simple skills to reduce distress and manage symptoms in the moment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process where the plan can change as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and seeing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy day and to reflect between exchanges. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible while keeping the focus on practical, real-world change.
