Sian Llewellyn , BACP

Sian Llewellyn is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She is experienced in areas like self-esteem, eating difficulties, addiction and trauma, and also helps with parenting strain, grief and intimacy-related issues. Sian holds BACP accreditation and brings ten years of practice to her work.

Her approach is warm and person-focused. Sessions aim to make sense of difficult feelings and to build practical steps forward. She draws on client-centred principles to create a accepting space where people can talk honestly about what matters to them.

Sian also uses methods influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Attachment-based ideas inform her work with people dealing with relationship patterns and childhood wounds.

She has supported people facing complex presentations such as co-morbidity, bipolar symptoms, chronic illness and issues linked to adoption, foster care or ageing. Her practice also addresses body image, sexual wellbeing including kink and BDSM concerns, and caregiver stress.

Sian offers sessions in English and accepts clients from outside the UK. She works online through video, phone, live chat and messaging, and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online approaches and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people change unhelpful patterns in close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace of the work and is listened to with empathy.

Sian uses these approaches together and will work with the client to find the best fit. Early sessions are collaborative, looking at what matters most, what has helped before and what practical steps feel achievable. The choice of method can change as goals evolve and the therapist will discuss options openly with each person.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone can work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats aim to increase access and flexibility while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work.
