About Sian

Sian Llewellyn is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has worked in the field for 10 years. She practises from the United Kingdom and lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, eating concerns, self‑esteem, addiction, trauma, grief, intimacy problems, parenting, anger and mood disorders among the areas she supports. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

She trained at Worcester University, gaining a Level 5 FDSc in Person Centred Counselling, and later completed accredited diplomas in Relationship Counselling and in CBT. Her work draws on client‑centred principles, alongside attachment‑based ideas and emotion‑focused methods. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) also appear among the approaches she uses.

In practice she focuses on clear, conversational work. Conversations aim to identify patterns that keep a problem active and to try small, practical shifts. For people struggling with anger this might mean noticing triggers, trying different ways to respond, and building everyday skills to reduce strain.

Sian also brings experience with complex life situations such as adoption and foster care matters, attachment concerns, ageing, chronic illness, body image, kink and alternative sexual cultures, and caring roles. This broad experience informs how she frames problems and plans sessions.

Her stated preference is to work in private practice settings where she offers regular sessions and relationship counselling. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and focus on actions that align with their values rather than getting stuck in thought. It can help with anger by shifting attention to meaningful choices instead of reacting on impulse. Attachment‑based therapy looks at how early patterns of relating shape present reactions; this can clarify why certain interactions trigger anger and what different responses might look like.

Client‑centred therapy centres on the person in front of the therapist, using attentive listening and reflection to help people make sense of their feelings. In practice this means sessions are often conversational and paced to the client, which can suit someone who needs time to talk through build‑up of resentment or workplace stress.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps. People often combine techniques from different approaches to handle anger at home, at work, or during life changes.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed, or remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor pace and structure so therapy fits everyday life without requiring a particular location.
