About Sian

Sian Llewellyn is a counsellor working in Wales who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. She also supports those facing grief, trauma, addiction issues and challenges around self-esteem and body image. Sian works in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and helpful.

Sian trained at Worcester University and holds a Level 5 Foundation Degree in Science (FDSc) in Person Centred Counselling. She also completed an accredited Diploma in Relationship Counselling and an accredited Diploma in CBT. Her listed credential is BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Her approach draws on client-centred practice and mindfulness, with attention to attachment patterns and emotional experience. Sessions tend to focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on practical steps to manage distress. Sian describes compassion-focused ideas as part of how she works with people under chronic stress or caregiving strain.

She has around 10 years’ experience and has supported people with complex issues including childhood abuse, chronic illness, adoption and foster-care concerns, addiction traits and intimacy-related difficulties. Sian also lists work around ADHD, bipolar and bereavement among her areas of interest.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Sian combines person-centred listening with targeted methods to help people cope and move forward. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult feelings while helping people clarify values and take small steps towards what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change those patterns in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is something the therapist will work through together with the client. She will discuss what feels most relevant, try out ideas, and adapt methods to match goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving and travel, reduce time spent commuting, and allow a quieter check-in when needed. Some approaches, such as ACT and mindfulness practice, translate well to remote conversations and written exercises, while attachment-focused work can also be done through talking and reflecting together online. Registered or accredited professionals aim to tailor sessions so they fit practical life as well as therapeutic goals.
