Sian Readings is a counsellor with three years of experience who aims to make talking about difficult things feel straightforward. She is friendly, down-to-earth and non-judgemental. Sian focuses on creating a calm space where people can be honest and move at their own pace.

She helps people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, and supports those coping with life changes such as separation or midlife shifts. Sian also works with parents and people dealing with the emotional demands of pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.

Background and approach

Stress, anxiety, compassion fatigue and low self-esteem are part of her core focus. Her practice also addresses attachment issues, body image and sexuality. She supports people managing chronic pain, illness and disability, and those dealing with guilt, shame or forgiveness.

Sex addiction and women’s issues are additional areas she can talk through. Sian draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise each person’s experience and pace. She also uses Psychodynamic Therapy to look at how past patterns might shape current feelings and relationships.

Sessions aim to combine understanding with practical conversation about next steps. Sian works in English and accepts international clients. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.

Approaches in online counselling and how they help

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client, which can help with stress, anxiety and relationship strain.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how earlier experiences influence current feelings and relationships. It can be useful when people want to understand deeper emotional habits, attachment difficulties or long-standing cycles in intimacy and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which way of working feels most helpful. That collaborative process can be adjusted as needs change.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around everyday life.
