Sian Owen, BACP

Sian Owen is a UK-based counsellor and therapist with five years of professional experience, accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and many others. Her practice also supports people coping with life changes, chronic health challenges, ADHD, bipolar presentations, eating and sleeping concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Sian adopts an individualized approach, tailoring conversation and treatment plans to the specific needs and goals of each client. She combines evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered techniques to help clients build practical skills, increase self-understanding, and reconnect with what matters to them. She aims to offer a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate therapeutic environment that recognises each person as unique.

Taking the first step toward greater wellbeing can feel daunting, and Sian aims to support people through that process with patience and clarity. She offers therapy in English and Welsh and is available to work with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Prospective clients who feel she may be able to help are encouraged to get in touch to explore next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Sian uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and develop practical ways to live in line with what matters, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivational challenges.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and learning new skills to manage symptoms of stress, low mood, and anxiety. Additionally, client-centered therapy is an important part of her work, offering a compassionate, non-directive space where the client’s experience guides the pace and focus of sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sian works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Sian is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people balancing work, family, or caregiving responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care when travel or scheduling would otherwise be a barrier, and they support access for clients both in the UK and internationally.
