Sian Llewellyn , BACP

Sian Llewellyn is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and challenges linked to ageing and geriatric issues. She also helps with self-esteem, addiction patterns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting strains and coping with life changes. Sian holds BACP accreditation, and she has ten years of experience working with these kinds of difficulties.

Sian trained at Worcester University and gained a Foundation Degree in Science in Person Centred Counselling. She later completed diplomas in relationship counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy. Her background also includes study in psychology and compassion-focused approaches.

In sessions she uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on empathy and meeting people where they are. She blends that approach with emotion-focused ideas and mindfulness practices to help people understand feelings and respond differently to distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas also appear in her work, helping people identify values and take small, meaningful steps.

Sian aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where practical steps are explored alongside emotional understanding. She often helps people untangle attachment patterns, address body image and eating concerns, and manage long-term conditions or caregiver stress. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she pays attention to the small changes that add up over time.

People interested in working with Sian can expect a collaborative relationship where goals are reviewed as therapy progresses. She values witnessing clients' progress and supports them in building coping skills that fit their everyday lives.

How her approaches shape online work

Sian combines person-centred work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away and then take small steps that match their values. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding emotional responses in relationships and strengthening how people connect and express needs. Client-centred work means sessions aim to be warm and non-judgemental, with the counsellor following the client’s pace and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sian will discuss which methods suit a person's needs and goals, and she adapts her style in collaboration with the client. That means techniques may shift as therapy progresses to better match what is helpful in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, avoid travel time and check in during a short break. It can also allow for different ways of working, such as focusing on mindfulness exercises, values-based tasks from ACT, or emotion-focused conversations that support relationship change.
