About Sian
Counsellor and BACP member Sian Llewellyn has 10 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, eating and self-esteem issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related matters, parenting strain, anger and bipolar difficulties. She also works with people facing life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
Sian trained at Worcester University and completed a Foundation Degree in Person Centred Counselling. She has since studied further and holds an accredited diploma in relationship counselling and an accredited diploma in CBT, plus additional training in psychology and compassion focused work. BACP indicates the professional body she is listed with.
Her way of working draws on client-centred principles. Sessions focus on listening, honest reflection and helping people make practical choices. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas and mindfulness to help with overwhelming thoughts and feelings.
Sian also uses attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas when relationships and closeness are central concerns. These approaches look at patterns in relationships and the emotions that drive them. She aims to help people understand their responses and try different ways of relating.
Her practice includes work with complicated histories such as childhood trauma, adoption and foster care, and attachment difficulties. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and sexual identity issues linked to kink and alternative sex culture.
To begin, Sian asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are welcomed and sessions are offered in English.
Approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and move towards actions that matter to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes by focusing on values and small steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour. It is often used when patterns in close relationships, trust or intimacy are causing pain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person. Decisions about which techniques to use are made together and can change over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel and saving time between commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and sessions that work around work or caregiving schedules. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use remote sessions to reach people who live abroad or cannot attend in person.
