About Sian

Sian Llewellyn is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, relationship and family issues, eating and body image problems, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD and related difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Sian trained with a Foundation Degree in Person Centred Counselling from Worcester University and has since completed accredited diplomas in Relationship Counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She also has study in psychology and Compassion Focused Therapy. Her approach draws on those methods while keeping the focus on what feels most useful for the person in front of her.

In practice she aims to help people notice patterns that get in the way, and to try small changes that fit everyday life. Conversations are straightforward. Sian helps clients name difficult feelings, understand attachment or relationship patterns, and practise steps to manage anxiety and low self-esteem.

She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and mindfulness exercises alongside emotionally focused and client-centred ways of working. For relationship issues she brings in skills and perspectives from her relationship counselling training to look at communication and emotional connection.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary by location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment using the See online therapy options button on the site.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, then choose actions that reflect what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and responding to the person's own experience, which helps people feel understood and more able to explore sensitive topics. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in close relationships and supports clearer expression of needs and repairs after conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sian will talk through what tends to help for the issues you bring and agree a plan together. That might mean trying ACT strategies alongside mindfulness exercises, or using emotionally focused techniques when relationship patterns are the focus. The choice is collaborative and can change as needs shift.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and having shorter check-ins that work around work or family commitments. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Registered or accredited professionals provide sessions that aim to fit therapy into everyday life and help people practise changes between meetings.
