About Sian
Sian Llewellyn works with stress, anxiety, relationships, eating concerns, trauma, and a wide range of related issues. She uses a person-centred approach and other relational methods to help people talk through what matters to them. Sian is a BACP counsellor with 10 years' experience working in the United Kingdom.
Sian trained at Worcester University and holds a foundation degree (FDSc) in Person Centred Counselling. She also completed diplomas in relationship counselling and CBT, and has studied psychology and compassion-focused approaches. Her background combines relational practice with skills from different models to meet practical concerns.
In sessions she focuses on listening and helping people make sense of their feelings. She works through issues such as low self-esteem, addiction patterns, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress and anger. She also supports people living with long-term conditions, neurodiversity and complex attachment histories.
Sian uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas alongside attachment-based and emotionally focused methods where helpful. Mindfulness and client-centred techniques are also part of her offering. She aims to help people notice patterns and make small, manageable changes in day-to-day life.
Her practice includes work with abandonment, adoption and foster care history, blended family issues, body image and caring roles. Sian accepts international clients and tailors discussions around practical goals and what each person wants to address next.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sian uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that help people clarify values and choose small actions that align with those values; this can help with anxiety, avoidance and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and emotional bonds, which can illuminate how past connections influence current reactions. Client-Centred Therapy concentrates on the person's experience in the moment, with the counsellor offering attentive listening and reflection to help develop self-understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sian discusses different methods with each person and agrees a plan based on their goals, needs and preferences. This collaborative process means the approach can change as progress is made or priorities shift.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around day-to-day life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it simpler to schedule sessions between work or caregiving commitments. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity when people move or travel, and to offer a practical way to access regular support.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
