About Sian
Sian Llewellyn is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has ten years' experience. She works with adults in the United Kingdom on issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, eating difficulties, addictions, trauma, grief, parenting stress and ADHD. Sessions are presented in a straightforward way for people coping with pressure at home or worrying about a close relationship.
Sian trained at Worcester University and completed a Foundation Degree in Person Centred Counselling. She later gained diplomas in relationship counselling and in cognitive behavioural therapy, and has additional training in psychology and compassion focused approaches. Her background blends person-centred listening with practical skills from other evidence-informed methods.
In sessions she focuses on clear, concrete work. She listens first and helps clients name what matters most. Conversations often include looking at patterns in relationships and practical ways to manage anxiety or low mood day to day. Mindfulness techniques and acceptance-based ideas are used to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting overwhelmed.
Parents and adults worried about family relationships will find a practical emphasis. Topics might include boundaries, blended family stress, parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns and coping after loss. Sian also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and identity questions linked to alternative sexual cultures.
Her style is calm and direct. She offers steady support while helping people try different ways of responding. To begin, she asks about immediate priorities and practical goals, then adapts the pace to each person's needs.
How sessions work
How Sian uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. Online sessions can use ACT to support parents and adults who feel stuck by worry or avoidance, helping them practise small changes between meetings.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. In remote sessions this approach can help people understand repeating patterns in close relationships and develop different ways of connecting and setting limits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the options and help decide what suits the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative conversation shapes whether sessions lean more toward acceptance, relational work or person-centred listening.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in at lunchtime, not having to travel, or choosing audio rather than video if that helps focus. Registered or accredited professionals can adjust pacing and exercises to work well in a remote setting.
