How Sian works
Addictions, compassion fatigue and sleep or eating issues are also within her focus. Her work aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to the client, with practical steps to try between sessions.
She listens without judgement and adjusts the pace to each person’s needs. Sian also offers support for life transitions and ongoing conditions such as bipolar disorder, chronic pain and co-morbidity. She can address topics like abandonment, codependency, control issues and separation.
Sessions are collaborative and based on what the client hopes to change. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. International clients can be seen and costs vary with location and therapist availability via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Sian often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to try practical exercises that change mood and behaviour. CBT is commonly used for low mood, worry and sleep or eating problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sian will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will choose or blend methods that suit you. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful when face-to-face conversation helps, phone calls suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and short check-ins work well by text or live chat. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
