Total legend, has changed my life by helping me become more ‘me’ and stronger. Simple recommendations and tools which are genuinely easy to apply and help change things around. It feels like chatting with a long term friend who is really looking out for you. I know she’s in high demand and I can see why. Brilliant all round. The best advice/help in a totally honest but non-judgemental way, all based in science and useful, life changing tools. Thank you Sian.

I offer a warm, non judgmental safe environment to help you understand your emotions and journey through life so far. I work in the past, present and future

I will explain the counselling process that you will go through and be with you as explore elements of yourself that you need to either understand more or change for a better future.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Sian is my first therapist and has been great so far. She really listens, checks in, asks the right questions and is helping me understand myself better.

Sian is such an empathetic and active listener, and combines theory with practice really well. Whenever I feel hat I have a problem that I can't process or resolve on my own, she always help me tackle it logically with the right tools. I have also learnt a lot more about myself and why and how I respond to certain situations. You can talk to her easily about any topic without any fear of judgment. I love the way she remembers little things from our discussions and this shows she genuinely cares and takes her role very seriously! She is the best!

Sessions with Sian feel like a coffee with a good friend + the expertise! She has helped me so much to improve in managing my anxiety and depression in the 12 months we have had sessions together. I know I will stick to this knowledge and habits for the rest of my life.

I have only had a couple of sessions with Sian, however she has already made me feel very comfortable discussing the reasons why I am in therapy and very clearly presents ways of helping me to understand my own emotions. She it punctual and takes notes and gives things to reflect on as well. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody looking for a therapist with proffessionality, a kind disposition and a thoughtful and interesting insight into how you are feeling.

I had a great experience with Sian over the past six months. She was understanding and compassionate, providing a safe space to explore my thoughts and feelings. She offered valuable insights and practical strategies that helped me grow and heal. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking support, going through some difficult times, or on their journey towards growth and healing.

Sian is amazing, she made me feel at ease from the first moment and listened intently to everything I said. Throughout the session she asked lots of very relevant questions. Her follow up after the session proved how she was present throughout and the documents she included are all very relevant. I’m looking forward to many more sessions with Sian!

In the last month that I have been with Sian, I have already made huge progress on how I view myself and my thoughts. She has so many tools, resources and so much knowledge to help me see and tackle my thoughts and feelings from another perspective that I really feel positive about my life and my relationships with her help. She makes me feel at ease, brings me comfort, listens carefully, reflects on what I share and always knows how I can work on certain aspects of my life.

Sian has helped and continues to help me navigate through the most difficult time of my life with great care, skill and compassion. Without our sessions I have no doubt that I would be a long way away from where I am now and that my mental health would most likely have deteriorated further. I always look forward to our sessions and whatever I'm feeling like on that particular day, I always get something out of it. Thank you Sian

I am very satisfied with Sian´s support. She knows how to lead a session so there is always progress at the end of it yet it feels natural and not structured at all. She always has new tools and theories on hand. I highly appreciate she does not fixate on one approach, instead, she views things from many different perspectives and chooses the one that would help me the most. She has the right combination of emotional intelligence and critical thinking. As a person, she is very authentic and humane. She can be open about her personal experience and we can have a good laugh at the sessions too. I have done a lot of progress in the 6 months I have been seeing her. I am 22 years old female and she has been helping me to cope with cancer treatment and recovery from burnout. Sian is the 6th and the best therapist I saw in the past 2 years and I would like to stay with her long-term.

I have felt extremely lucky to have found Sian as a therapist. She has created a safe and non-judgemental space for me to work through my anxieties and past traumas, whilst helping me to identify things that I haven't been able to realise or process. The theories and tools she has given me have already hugely helped - thank you so much for all your help!|

I am honestly so grateful for being placed in Sian’s expert hands when I decided to start therapy! I was in a really strange place, after some big alterations in my life, that I saw no way of getting myself out of. Sian has given me so many tools to work with, and challenge my thinking, which I can continue to use as I need in the future. She has consistently created space for me to be able to discuss what I need to and a place for me to be listened to without judgement or fear. She is wonderfully easy to talk to, and makes me feel so at ease. I am so much more confident now in dealing with my own feelings and thoughts and have the tools to challenge my thinking and behaviours, as well as gaining a better understanding of others and their behaviours too. I feel like this has been such an eye opening and life altering experience, and I feel it was divine intervention to have come across Sian when I did! Thank you so much!

Reviewed May 2022

Sian has exceeded above and beyond my expectations. She is always proactive and reflective pre- and post- sessions. I always come away from our sessions feeling better and know I am building my toolkit to help me cope with overthinking, anxiety, and just life's obstacles in general. She has been absolutely amazing - couldn't recommend her enough.

Reviewed May 2022

I have had so many little breakthroughs with Sian that have created a big impact on my life. I feel that Sian is the perfect match for me and what I need. I encouraged a little more push from her to get deeper on my 'stuff' because I knew I often took the long roads and since, honestly my life has progressed so much! Not only does she hold space for me during our live sessions, but when I have been a chaotic place she has helped bring calmness with some questions for me to ask myself. Highly recommend <3
