About Sian
Counsellor and therapist, BACP, with five years' experience supporting people in the United Kingdom. Sian Owen works with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression, and also helps with relationship concerns, trauma and grief. She speaks English and Welsh.
Sian uses a mix of practical talking approaches and skills-based work. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters and move towards those values. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try out new behaviours.
Client-Centred Therapy is part of her practice too, so sessions focus on what the person brings and on listening rather than on imposing one method. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress, sleeplessness and managing difficult feelings.
Her caseload includes a wide range of issues such as compassion fatigue, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar concerns, ADHD and coping with life changes. Other areas she notes are abandonment, chronic pain and disability, codependency, separation and domestic violence.
Sian aims to work collaboratively on practical steps and coping strategies. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; costs vary with location. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session via the See online counselling options button.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps towards those goals. It focuses on values and on noticing thoughts rather than trying to push them away, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical techniques for testing unhelpful thoughts and trying out different behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep and mood.
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and the person’s own priorities. The counsellor responds to what is raised in the session and supports the person to set the pace and focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sian will discuss options and help choose methods that suit the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs shift.
