About Sian
Sian Readings is a counsellor who aims to make starting therapy straightforward and approachable. She works in a friendly, down-to-earth way and offers a space where people can be honest and go at their own pace. Her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy is listed as BACP.
Sian helps people who are feeling anxious or low in mood. She also supports those facing relationship strain, intimacy worries and the many practical and emotional changes that come with pregnancy and early parenthood.
How Sian works
She pays attention to how everyday pressures affect wellbeing. Her approach combines Client-Centered Therapy and psychodynamic ideas. That means sessions focus on what matters to the person, while also looking at patterns from the past that shape current feelings and choices.
Conversations are guided by the person’s concerns, not a rigid plan. In practical terms Sian offers calm listening and straightforward guidance. She can help people manage stress, compassion fatigue, parenting strain and self-esteem problems.
She also works with issues such as attachment, body image, chronic illness and pain, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and sexuality. Sian has three years of professional experience in counselling. She offers sessions in English and can see international clients.
To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their needs.

Online support options
Working online with client-centred and psychodynamic ideas
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens with care, follows what matters most to the person, and helps them find their own solutions. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and parenting stresses.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past relationships and experiences. It helps people notice repeated ways of thinking or feeling that affect current life. This can be useful for issues such as attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, and repeating relationship problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and try different ways of working based on what the person needs, wants and finds helpful. That process is collaborative and paced to suit the individual.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good when face-to-face conversation helps. Phone sessions can fit a short break or need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. Together these options make it easier to fit counselling around daily life and changing schedules.
