Sian Owen works from a person-centred approach and draws on practical therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to help people manage day-to-day struggles. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy when helpful. Sian speaks English and Welsh and practises in the United Kingdom.

Sian has five years of experience as a counsellor and BACP accreditation. She has helped people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression.

Background and approach

She also supports people facing anger issues, compassion fatigue, addictive behaviours and difficulties with motivation. Her work often focuses on relationship and family stresses, intimacy concerns, grief and trauma-related issues. She also offers help for sleep and eating difficulties, bipolar mood challenges, and the practical strains of life changes.

Additional concerns Sian can address include codependency, abandonment, chronic pain and co-morbidity. Sessions are built around the person rather than a fixed script. Sian listens and adapts conversations and techniques to what each person needs.

That might mean learning coping skills from cognitive behavioural therapy, practising mindful attention, or using acceptance strategies to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Clients can use shorter check-ins or longer therapy talks depending on the issue. Sian uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit differing schedules.

She welcomes people from outside the UK and makes practical arrangements during the matching process.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that fit their values. It can help when someone is stuck in avoidance or wants to focus on what matters day to day.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep and certain eating issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques from ACT, CBT, DBT or mindfulness to suit the person's situation. This is a collaborative process and options can be reviewed as progress is made.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different needs. Video helps recreate a face-to-face feel, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and short chats or messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and to continue work with a registered or accredited professional from different locations.
