About Sian

Sian Owen works with people on stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and motivation using talking therapies adapted to each person. She practises as a counsellor and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of professional experience in the UK.

Sian uses a mix of practical approaches including acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness. Sessions focus on everyday problems such as sleeping, eating, managing emotions and coping with life changes. She also addresses issues like addiction, compassion fatigue, grief and intimacy-related concerns.

The client-centred element means sessions begin with the person's priorities and what matters to them. From there Sian offers structured tools from CBT and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy where useful. She explains techniques clearly and helps people practise them between sessions.

Sian also works with relationship and family-related difficulties from an individual perspective, and with longer-term or complex problems such as bipolar, dissociation, chronic pain or co-morbidity. Additional topics she covers include abandonment, codependency and divorce or separation.

Sessions are offered in English and Welsh and Sian welcomes people based in the UK and international clients. She asks people to use the online matching process to book a first appointment and to agree a plan together in the initial meeting.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then focus on actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at practical links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives clear tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, insomnia and mood difficulties. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is reviewed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit sessions into daily life - it can reduce travel time, make it easier to schedule a shorter check-in, or allow for video or audio work when that suits the person's routine. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques such as CBT exercises, ACT values work and mindfulness practices for remote sessions to support ongoing progress.
