Background and approach
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sian’s way of working is warm and down-to-earth. She uses person-centred listening alongside approaches that focus on emotions, attachment and mindfulness.
Sessions are shaped around what feels most helpful for each person, with practical ideas to try between meetings when useful. Over ten years of practice have given Sian experience with a wide range of concerns, including attachment-related issues, body image, neurodiversity, long-term health and caregiving stress. She describes independent practice as a place where small changes add up over time.
People can expect a collaborative relationship where goals are agreed and reviewed. Sian offers sessions in English and is available to work with people in the United Kingdom and internationally via online formats.

How Sian blends approaches online
Sian uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small action steps towards those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression and feeling stuck because it focuses on meaningful goals rather than just symptoms.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at emotional patterns and how relationships shape feelings. These approaches can help with intimacy-related concerns and understanding long-standing relationship and attachment issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sian will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to use. The process is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when preferred. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can suit people who want more flexible, written communication between scheduled meetings.
