About Sarah
Sarah "Sian" Welch is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression and life transitions. She also lists anger, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues among her areas of focus.
Sian treats each person as the expert in their own life. She helps people identify strengths they already have and build on them. Early sessions typically look at what matters most to the client and what patterns keep causing problems.
Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. With ACT she will explore values and small actions that move someone toward a life they value. With CBT she will help spot unhelpful thinking and test practical changes in behaviour.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Clients can expect clear steps to try between appointments and discussions about what worked or did not. Sian also supports people coping with chronic health issues, ageing concerns and compulsive behaviours such as alcohol or process addictions.
She accepts international clients and runs a practice from the UK. Sian asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session. The questionnaire helps match goals and choose an initial session plan.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and what they involve
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven actions. It can be useful for anger that is linked to frustration, shame or stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical experiments to shift unhelpful patterns; it suits worries, low mood and problem behaviours.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and decide together which methods to try first. Sessions are collaborative and reviewed over time to see what helps most.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, make it easier to schedule short check-ins around work, or allow sessions without needing to be on camera every time. Many people find this flexibility helps them maintain continuity and practice skills between appointments.
