About Sian

Sian Owen is a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. Sian also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and life changes.

She uses a mix of practical talking approaches. Sessions often focus on clear, step-by-step strategies to reduce anxious thinking and manage strong emotions. Sian draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that matter to them.

Client-centred work is part of her way of working. That means conversations are shaped by the person's own concerns and pace rather than a fixed script. Mindfulness techniques and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are also available for emotional regulation and grounding during difficult moments.

Sian has experience supporting people with addiction issues, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD and long-term health challenges. She also addresses topics such as abandonment, codependency, divorce and blended family issues when these affect an individual's wellbeing.

Sessions are offered in English and Welsh and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first meeting.

How her approaches translate to online work

Sian regularly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that align with their values rather than trying to fight every difficult thought. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and depressive moods.

She also draws on client-centred principles, which means the online conversations are shaped by the client's own priorities and pace. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - the therapist and client review what helps and adjust methods to suit the client's goals and preferences.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, avoid travel, or choose a shorter check-in when days are busy. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises and behavioural tasks to work in a digital session, and practical skill-building can continue between meetings to support everyday life.
