Sian Llewellyn , BACP

Sian Llewellyn is a counsellor based in Wales who brings a person-centred commitment to her private practice. She trained at Worcester University and earned a Level 5 FDSc in Person-Centred Counselling - a foundation degree-level qualification that focused on the principles and practice of client-focused therapy. She has since completed further accredited study, including diplomas in Relationship Counselling and in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), along with training in psychology and Compassion Focused Therapy. She is also listed with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Sian believes that lasting wellbeing grows from congruence, empathy, and consistent therapeutic support. In practice she creates an accepting, nonjudgmental space where people can explore difficult feelings and build new coping skills. Working in private practice is a central passion for her and she draws professional satisfaction from witnessing clients move toward clearer thinking and reduced distress.

Her experience includes helping people with anxiety and depression, self-esteem and low self-worth, attachment-related concerns, addictive personality traits, relationship and sexual issues, eating disorders, and childhood trauma. Sian offers steady, compassionate guidance aimed at helping people manage crises and find constructive ways forward, honoring each person’s pace and priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online delivery

Sian draws on client-centred therapy to place the person and their experience at the centre of the work - the therapist offers empathy, genuine regard, and support that helps clients explore values, build self-worth, and work through depression or low self-esteem. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed, and to clarify personal values so they can take meaningful action even when emotions are challenging. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonding experiences - it is helpful for people dealing with attachment concerns, relationship difficulties, and responses rooted in past trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sian works collaboratively with each person, listening to their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailoring methods to fit their situation rather than applying a single model from the start. This collaborative planning helps shape a treatment path that feels practical and achievable.

Online therapy with Sian is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access care from different locations, and choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals and therapists trained in these approaches can effectively adapt their methods to the online setting while supporting continuity and accessibility of care.
