About Sian
Sian Readings is a counsellor who aims to make talking about difficult things feel easier. She is friendly, down-to-earth and non-judgemental. Sian helps people take small steps at their own pace so they can make sense of what’s happening in their lives.
Sian supports people dealing with anxiety and low mood. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues and the stresses that come with parenting and pregnancy. Practical everyday concerns such as stress, self-esteem and compassion fatigue are part of her focus.
Background and approach
Her work covers a broad set of related issues. These include attachment struggles, body image, chronic pain, illness and disability, and problems that follow divorce and separation. She also offers support around forgiveness, guilt and shame, self-love and sexuality including sex addiction.
Sian uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the person’s pace and priorities in each session. She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at patterns that may have formed over time. Together these approaches help people talk through feelings and understand recurring difficulties.
Clients can expect a calm, accepting space where the counsellor listens first and then helps shape practical next steps. Sian aims to combine understanding with simple strategies people can use between sessions. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Sian is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years of professional experience and accepts international clients who wish to access therapy remotely.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens closely, follows what matters most to the client, and helps them set the pace for change. This approach works well for worries about relationships, self-esteem, and times of life change.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and situations. It helps people notice how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions, which can be useful for attachment issues, guilt and shame, and persistent relationship difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adjust methods over time. This collaborative way makes it easier to find an approach that fits the person's life and aims.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to access help from different places and at varied times, while keeping the focus on steady progress.
