How Sian works
Hypnotherapy and client-centred listening are also part of her toolbox when they fit the client's needs. Sessions are shaped around what someone wants to achieve. Sian explains the counselling process and stays alongside clients as they look at past patterns, current struggles and next steps.
That could be practising new coping skills, noticing unhelpful thoughts, or building stronger emotional awareness. She has four years of professional experience and holds NCPS, which is recorded as her credential. Sian works with a wide range of concerns including grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, addictions and compassion fatigue.
Other areas she focuses on include attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family matters, body image, codependency, communication issues and difficulties arising from divorce or domestic violence. She also supports people dealing with cancer, fatherhood issues, forgiveness work and alternative sex culture topics such as BDSM and kink. Sian offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Her practice aims to be practical, respectful and tailored so each person gets a service that fits their life.

Online support options
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Sian commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach supports people working on trust, intimacy-related issues and communication problems in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sian will discuss options and tailor methods to a client's goals and preferences, trying different techniques where needed until a good fit is found. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, so people can choose what suits their routine. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can fit short check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
