Sian Owen
Calm practical therapy for everyday struggles
About Sian
Sian Owen is a counsellor who blends practical therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She uses straightforward conversation and proven approaches to help people work through depression, anger and motivation problems. Sian works in English and Welsh and practises from the United Kingdom as a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
Sian draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, manageable changes.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centred methods and mindfulness to build steadier coping skills and greater self-compassion. Sessions are designed around what each person needs rather than a fixed set of steps. Her experience includes supporting people facing addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and grief.
She also helps with eating and sleeping problems, bipolar mood challenges, and the stress that comes with life changes. Additional focus areas include compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, and ADHD-related concerns. Sian takes a practical approach to difficult problems such as chronic pain, codependency and separation after divorce.
Conversations aim to make feelings easier to name and manage, and to identify realistic next steps people can try between sessions. She keeps language simple and direct so progress feels achievable. Starting therapy with Sian begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
The aim is to work together to set clear goals and adapt the approach as progress is made.

Sessions & fees
Evidence-informed approaches online
Sian commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when working online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours to reduce distress and improve mood.She also draws on client-centred and mindfulness approaches to help people feel heard and to develop steady coping skills. Finding the right mix of methods is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust what they do based on what helps most.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls are useful for deeper conversational work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging or live chat suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
