She trained at Worcester University and holds a Level 5 FDSc in Person Centred Counselling, followed by accredited diplomas in relationship counselling and in cognitive behavioural therapy, together with further training in psychology and Compassion Focused Therapy. She also holds BACP accreditation, which reflects her alignment with national professional standards.

Her practice emphasises congruence, empathy and the supportive qualities at the heart of the person-centred approach. Sian has extensive experience helping people managing anxiety and depression, low self-esteem and low self-worth, attachment difficulties, addictive personality traits, relationship and sexual concerns, eating disorders and childhood trauma. She draws on her training to tailor interventions to each person's needs while maintaining a calm, nonjudgemental stance.

Sian values working in private practice and finds meaning in witnessing people make changes and reduce the impact of the problems that brought them to therapy. She offers a friendly and supportive therapeutic relationship intended to guide and assist clients through difficult periods and crises.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them - it uses values-based goals and practical exercises to increase psychological flexibility and can be useful for anxiety, stress and patterns that keep people stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current bonds and helps clients explore patterns of relating, healing wounds around attachment and improving intimacy and family relationships. Client-Centred Therapy, rooted in the person-centred tradition, emphasises empathy, acceptance and the therapeutic relationship itself as the vehicle for change and is especially helpful for building self-esteem, self-understanding and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Sian works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and personal preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as the work progresses. Licensed professionals use assessment and ongoing conversation to shape that process together with each client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access therapy from home or while travelling, reduce travel time, and allow people to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
