Sian Owen, BACP

Sian Owen is a counsellor and therapist who focuses on trauma and related concerns.

About Sian

Sian Owen is a counsellor and therapist who focuses on trauma and related concerns. She draws on five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and offers help for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and anger. Sian works in English and Welsh and is BACP accredited.

Sian uses straightforward conversation to understand what is hard right now. She listens for how past events and present pressures connect. From that starting point she works with each person to set small practical goals.

Background and approach

Her approach blends several well-known ways of working. She might use techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness and acceptance ideas help people handle painful emotions without getting overwhelmed.

Sian also uses client-centred ways of working to make sure people feel heard and respected in sessions. When stronger emotional regulation is needed she can draw on dialectical behaviour therapy skills to teach grounding and self-soothing methods. People come to Sian for many concerns beyond trauma, including relationship strain, grief, sleep and eating issues, addiction and compassion fatigue.

She is willing to help those coping with life changes, chronic health conditions, or questions around intimacy and commitment. The first meeting is practical and simple. Sian talks through what matters most, what has helped before and what small changes might be realistic.

She then works with each person to build a plan that fits their life and goals.

Ways of working Sian names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Sian often uses Trauma-Focused Therapy in ways that help people understand how past events affect day-to-day feelings and behaviours. This approach looks at memories and reactions, then builds practical skills to reduce distress.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on what matters to them. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression and life changes because it emphasises values and small actions. Client-Centred Therapy is another strand of her work, offering a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can talk things through at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Sian will discuss options and try methods that match each person's goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as work proceeds.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit brief check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit around work or caregiving schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy flexible while using ACT, trauma-focused work or client-centred conversations in ways that fit daily life.
