About Sian
Sian Llewellyn is a counsellor based in Wales who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She also helps with issues such as low self-esteem, addiction patterns, grief, trauma and codependency. Sian aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly and start to feel steadier.
She trained at Worcester University and holds a Level 5 FDSc in Person Centred Counselling. She also completed an accredited Diploma in Relationship Counselling and an accredited Diploma in CBT, and has additional training in Psychology and Compassion Focused Therapy. Sian has around 10 years' experience working in private practice and community settings.
In sessions she uses person-centred principles alongside approaches that focus on emotions, attachment and acceptance. That means she listens closely, helps people name difficult feelings, and supports practical steps to manage them. Mindfulness ideas and acceptance-based exercises are offered when they suit the person's goals.
Sian often works with people dealing with relationship and intimacy questions, parenting strain, identity and body image concerns, and the aftermath of abuse or early attachment hurt. She also supports those coping with long-term health issues, caregiving stress and life transitions.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She will help you set goals together and review progress as therapy continues. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
Therapeutic approaches you can expect online
Sian blends approaches that help people make sense of feelings and patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action rather than fighting uncomfortable feelings; it can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, which can help with intimacy, abandonment issues and attachment wounds.Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions, with emphasis on empathy and understanding. This approach helps people find their own solutions and can be particularly helpful for self-esteem, grief and recovery from trauma. Together these approaches offer both emotional exploration and practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences, and she will adapt the focus as progress is made. That means sessions are shaped around what is helpful for the individual rather than a fixed formula.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit those who prefer to speak without being on camera or who need a quieter, simpler way to join a session.
