About Sian

Sian Llewellyn is a counsellor based in Wales who helps people facing grief, end-of-life concerns and related stresses. She also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addictive behaviours and self-esteem struggles. Sian explains things plainly and aims to create a calm space where people can speak and be heard.

Sian trained at Worcester University and holds a Foundation Degree in Science (FDSc) in Person Centred Counselling. She also completed an accredited diploma in Relationship Counselling and an accredited diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and has training in Compassion Focused Therapy and psychology. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Her way of working is person-centred. That means sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and pace. She draws on attachment work and emotionally focused ideas when relationships and closeness are part of the issue. Practical tools from CBT and mindfulness are used to manage anxiety and low mood.

Sian has around 10 years of experience supporting people through life changes, chronic health concerns, caregiving strain and complex grief. She emphasises empathy, steadiness and practical steps people can try between sessions. The goal is to help people feel more able to cope and make clearer choices.

To begin, visitors complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Sian works with clients in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients, and she uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approach and online counselling options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small, workable steps so people can live in ways that matter to them despite pain or worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and helps people understand how those early patterns affect current trust and closeness. This can be useful when relationship strain, abandonment worries or caregiving stress are central issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they will decide which methods to use. That collaborative process makes it easier to try approaches that feel sensible and practical.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during breaks. It can also allow people to access a counsellor in the United Kingdom from different locations internationally. The focus is on making therapy manageable and relevant to everyday life rather than promising a particular platform or service.
