About Sian

Sian Llewellyn is a counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) with ten years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She lists young adult issues such as anxiety, stress, relationships and transition-related concerns among her areas of focus. Sessions are described in straightforward terms and aimed at people navigating early-adult pressures.

Sian trained at Worcester University, gaining a Level 5 FDSc in Person Centred Counselling. She also holds accredited diplomas in Relationship Counselling and in CBT, and has completed further study in psychology and Compassion Focused Therapy. Her background mixes person-centred practice with relational and cognitive approaches.

In practice she works conversationally and directly. Sessions often involve talking through current problems, noticing patterns, and trying out different ways of responding. Mindfulness and acceptance ideas can be brought in to help with worry and low mood.

Sian has experience with a wide range of issues including anxiety and depression, self-esteem and attachment difficulties, eating concerns, addictive behaviours, trauma and relationship or sexual problems. She also lists support around grief, parenting strain, ADHD and coping with life changes.

Her work is suited to people wanting practical, person-centred support alongside other approaches. International clients may be accepted and sessions are conducted in English. When booking, readers are asked to follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and arrange a first session.

How Sian blends approaches in online work

Sian combines person-centred practice with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, clarifying values, and taking small actions that matter. It can help with anxiety, avoidance and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current bonds; it can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions, aiming to make it easier to talk through difficult feelings and decisions.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss what feels most relevant, try different techniques, and agree how to proceed. That shared planning helps match methods to goals like reducing anxiety, improving relationships, or managing mood.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to attend around work, study or caregiving commitments and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking by using the site process, which includes a short questionnaire and scheduling step.
