About Sian

Sian Llewellyn is a counsellor based in Wales who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also helps with issues such as self-esteem, addiction tendencies, attachment difficulties and the impacts of trauma and grief. Sian works from a person-centred perspective and aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space for conversations about what matters to each person.

Sian qualified from Worcester University with a Foundation Degree in Person Centred Counselling, and she holds an accredited Diploma in Relationship Counselling and an accredited Diploma in CBT. She has further training in psychology and Compassion Focused Therapy and draws on ten years of practice to inform her sessions.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on small steps that make a difference day to day. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help manage difficult feelings, alongside attachment-based ideas to make sense of close relationships.

Sian has worked with people facing a wide range of life challenges, including parenting strain, eating issues, bipolar and chronic illness concerns. She also lists adoption and foster care among her areas of focus and can talk through related stresses and decisions.

People who choose her often want a calm, empathetic counsellor who listens first and offers tailored suggestions afterwards. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions based on the therapist's schedule.

How Sian's approaches translate to online work

Sian often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her practice. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values, which can reduce unhelpful avoidance. Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns in relationships and help people understand how past bonds influence present feelings and behaviour.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to current struggles, talk through goals and suggest methods to try. Together they decide which techniques fit the person's needs and preferences, and adapt as work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel and allowing sessions during work breaks. It can also make some meetings shorter or less intense when people need a quick check-in rather than a full-length session. Registered or accredited professionals will explain practical arrangements and help choose a session pattern that suits everyday routines.
