About Sian

Sian Owen is a counsellor and therapist who uses a person-centred way of working. She holds BACP accreditation and has five years of professional experience helping people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Sian speaks English and Welsh and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.

Sian keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. She listens first, then helps you decide what matters most. Conversations and plans are tailored to each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. Clients can expect a calm, compassionate approach and practical steps they can try between sessions.

Her practice also addresses anger, motivation, grief and relationship concerns. She supports people facing trauma, addiction, sleep and eating issues, and challenges such as chronic pain or illness. Codependency, coping with life changes and ADHD feature among the areas she commonly helps people explore.

Sian often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help clients spot unhelpful patterns and find workable alternatives. She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and motivational approaches when these suit someone’s goals.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Sian aims to make that step easier by offering steady support and practical ideas. If you think she might help, the next step is to use the site process to match and schedule a session.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps that match those values. It focuses on actions you can try even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical experiments to test unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Sian works collaboratively to decide what fits best. She listens to your goals and preferences, and together you try methods that suit your situation. That shared decision-making helps shape the focus of sessions as you go.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the exact session options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy around work, family and travel, save commuting time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. A mixture of longer therapy sessions and brief follow-ups can make it easier to apply what you learn between meetings, depending on what you and the therapist agree works best.
