Hello, I'm Siobahn
I'm a therapist, a mum, and someone who truly understands how hard it can feel when your child is struggling.
I know this not just from years of clinical training, but from lived experience too. I've supported my own son through ADHD traits, big emotions and the challenges that come with adjusting to new environments and schools. There have been moments where I've felt exactly what you might be feeling right now, worried, unsure, and just wanting someone who gets both the clinical side and the real, messy, everyday side of parenting.
Living and working internationally taught me so much about how resilient children really are. But it also showed me how deeply every child needs to feel understood, safe and secure in who they are, wherever they are.
I set up Quinn's Therapy because I wanted to offer families the kind of support I once searched for myself. Something warm and practical, grounded in evidence, and delivered by someone who is genuinely invested in your child, not just their symptoms.
I believe every child is doing the best they can with the skills they have right now. My job is to help those skills grow.
I work with children and young people aged 5 to 18 across Cannock, Staffordshire and the West Midlands, alongside their parents, schools and wider support networks, because lasting change happens in everyday life, not just in sessions.
If your child is struggling, you do not have to figure this out alone. Things really can get easier, and I would love to help.
My background and Training
I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with specialist training in children and young people's mental health. Before moving into CBT I worked as a Children's Wellbeing Practitioner, and across those years I have built up over five years of hands on therapeutic experience with children, young people and their families.
That experience spans a wide range of settings. I have worked within NHS Talking Therapies services, CAMHS and school based mental health teams, neurodevelopmental services supporting ADHD and autism, international schools, and private practice. I have also worked extensively with families from diverse cultural backgrounds, and I understand the very particular challenges that can come with relocation, international schooling and helping a child hold onto their sense of identity through big changes.
Everything I do is fully supervised in line with professional standards, so every family can feel confident they are receiving safe, ethical and genuinely high quality care.
How I work and what I can help with
No two children are the same, and I never treat them as if they are. My work draws on a range of evidence based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, compassion focused therapy, emotion coaching, parent led interventions, behavioural strategies and developmentally appropriate therapeutic support. What that looks like in practice depends entirely on your child and what they need.
I work with children and young people aged 5 to 18 across a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, OCD, generalised worry and social anxiety, low mood and depression, ADHD and attention difficulties, autism, emotional regulation, anger and frustration, school avoidance, self-esteem, and adjusting to big life changes like family breakdown, bereavement or moving schools.
I also offer structured parent support sessions for families who want to feel more confident and better equipped to support their child between sessions and at home. Because the work does not stop when the session ends, and neither does your role in it.
Get In Touch
If anything you have read here resonates, I would love to hear from you. I offer a free 15 minute consultation to every family, no pressure, no commitment, just a relaxed conversation about what is going on for your child and whether I might be the right fit for you.
