She trained at Worcester University, gaining a Level 5 FDSc in Person Centred Counselling, and later completed accredited diplomas in Relationship Counselling and CBT. Sian also has training in psychology and Compassion Focused Therapy. Her listed registration is BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sian uses approaches that focus on emotions, attachment and acceptance. Sessions tend to centre on listening closely, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying out new ways of coping. Mindfulness and acceptance ideas appear alongside client-centred and emotionally-focused methods. In practice she aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly. Work often involves talking through current problems, looking at past patterns, and trying small behavioural changes between sessions. She describes the therapeutic relationship as central to change. Sian’s experience includes helping people with attachment issues, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD and chronic illness adjustments. Her additional focus areas list adoption and foster care, ageing issues, body image, blended family matters and other complex life themes.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and make small changes that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people understand and change those patterns in close relationships. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try approaches together. This collaborative process means methods can be adapted as the work unfolds. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to travel or who need to schedule sessions around work or caregiving commitments.
