Sian Llewellyn , BACP

Sian Llewellyn is a counsellor based in Wales who helps people with stress, anxiety, depression and intimacy-related issues. She uses a warm, person-centred style and aims to offer practical support without judgement. Sian holds BACP accreditation and has ten years' experience working with a range of concerns including relationship and sexual issues, eating problems, trauma and addictive behaviours.

She trained at Worcester University and completed a Foundation Degree in Person Centred Counselling. Since then she has added an accredited Diploma in Relationship Counselling and an accredited Diploma in CBT. She also has training in psychology and Compassion-Focused Therapy.

In sessions Sian focuses on building a trusting relationship and understanding what matters most to each person. She draws on person-centred listening, attachment ideas and emotion-focused work to help people feel heard and to spot patterns that keep problems going. She uses mindfulness tools and acceptance-based ideas to help with anxiety and low self-esteem.

Sian describes her approach as non-judgemental and supportive. She often helps people work through grief, parenting strain, chronic health concerns and mood changes. She also supports people dealing with body image, commitment worries and the impact of early attachment experiences.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations about goals and small steps to try between sessions. The emphasis is on practical change and on noticing what helps in daily life. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How these approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and on taking small, meaningful actions that match what matters to the person, which can help with anxiety, low mood and chronic stress.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand how they relate to others and develop new ways of connecting that feel safer and more satisfying, which is useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will choose techniques that fit. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as people learn what helps.

Before booking, confirm which session formats are offered since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It also lets people use mindfulness and homework exercises in their everyday environment, which can speed up practising new skills.
