About Sian

Sian Llewellyn is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She holds BACP accreditation and trained at Worcester University, gaining a Level 5 FDSc in Person Centred Counselling. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, and with relationship, family and intimacy-related concerns.

Sian uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred and attachment-based approaches. Sessions focus on identifying emotional patterns that cause repeated problems. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness tools when helpful.

In practice she listens for the feelings and relational moments that are getting stuck. Conversations aim to name emotions, notice patterns and try different responses. Practical skills such as grounding, mindful breathing and values-based actions are used when useful.

Sian has supported people through trauma and abuse, grief, eating difficulties, addictions and compassion fatigue. Her background includes further study in relationship counselling, cognitive behavioural concepts and compassion-focused ideas. The BACP credential is listed as provided in her training details.

People considering therapy are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange an initial session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients can be accepted; sessions are held in English.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape relationship and personal patterns. Online sessions can be used to identify stuck emotional responses and practise new ways of relating to feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice values and take small actions aligned with what matters, useful for coping with anxiety and life changes.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That collaborative process means therapy can adjust over time as needs change and as different tools are tested.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy day, having shorter check-ins when time is tight, and using video or phone to reduce travel. Many people find online sessions make it easier to keep continuity while juggling work, caregiving or other commitments.
