About Sian

Sian Owen is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom and is accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of professional experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. Sian also works with concerns such as addiction, compassion fatigue, trauma and grief.

Sian uses a client-centered style that keeps conversations focused and practical. Sessions look at patterns that make day-to-day life harder. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and tries out different ways of responding to them.

Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. These methods are used to help with emotional regulation, motivation and managing strong feelings. Mindfulness practices are also offered to build calm and awareness.

Sian supports people dealing with relationship issues, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and life changes like separation or bereavement. She also works with overlapping problems such as chronic pain, co-morbidity and ADHD-related challenges.

Conversations with Sian aim to be straightforward and respectful. She will listen, help clarify what matters to the client, and shape a plan of work together. To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters to them. It often supports issues like anger, anxiety and low motivation by encouraging committed action aligned with personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and anger management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness, which can help with stress, sleeping problems and impulsive responses.

Finding the right approach is something the therapist will do together with the client. Sian will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust what she uses based on how the client responds. The choice of method is collaborative and reviewed as therapy proceeds.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the session formats before booking as the original biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every appointment. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online work that focuses on practical skills, emotional regulation and planning for change, while adapting exercises so they work in a virtual setting.
