About Sian
Sian Owen is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, depression and motivation problems. Sessions are offered in English and Welsh, and she accepts international clients.
Sian uses straightforward talking therapy. She listens to what matters to each person and works with them to set practical goals. Rather than jargon, she focuses on small steps that can change daily habits and reactions.
Her background includes work with relationship strain, grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people coping with addictions, sleep and eating problems, chronic illness and the confusion that can follow big life changes. Codependency is listed among the issues she addresses for individuals who find they put others first at their own expense.
Sian draws on several clinical approaches to shape sessions. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients notice what matters, cognitive behavioural tools to test unhelpful thoughts, and mindfulness exercises to calm strong feelings. Dialectical and motivational techniques appear where people need skills for emotion regulation or to find reasons to change.
Work with Sian typically starts by agreeing what to focus on and trying some practical techniques between meetings. She aims for clear conversation, steady progress, and regular review of what is helping. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Sian commonly uses acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in her work. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take committed steps towards those values, which can be useful for people stuck in people-pleasing or avoidance patterns. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical ways to test and change unhelpful thinking.She also draws on mindfulness practice to help reduce reactivity and on dialectical behaviour ideas for emotion regulation when feelings run high. The choice of approach is discussed together; the therapist helps the client decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences so sessions feel workable and relevant.
If you are considering online work, confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. They also mean you do not need to be on camera for every meeting, which can suit people who prefer quieter or lower-bandwidth interactions.
