Sian Owen, BACP

Sian Owen is a counsellor and therapist who works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those struggling with anger, motivation, addiction and relationship concerns. Sian’s profile notes five years of professional experience and accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sian uses a mix of practical talking therapies. She prefers simple, direct conversations that focus on the here-and-now. Sessions usually involve identifying patterns, trying new ways of coping, and testing small changes that fit everyday life. Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then tailors a plan to the person in front of her. That plan may draw on cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action, or mindfulness skills for stress and emotion regulation. Sian works with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression. These include trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes. She also notes additional focuses such as chronic pain, divorce and codependency. She offers sessions in English and Welsh and accepts international clients.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for stress, depression and getting unstuck when life feels confusing.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on noticing patterns between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and then trying practical experiments to change them. It can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to what matters to the client and then suggest approaches that could fit their needs and goals. This is a collaborative process and may change as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking so you know how Sian is offering sessions. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy if life or location changes, while the therapist and client decide together how to pace the work and which methods to use.
