Sian Owen

Sian Owen is a counsellor who draws on a mix of practical approaches to help people manage anger, stress and anxiety. She uses plain language in sessions and aims to build a calm, respectful space for people to talk about what matters to them. Sian is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Sian works with common difficulties such as low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes and relationship strain. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue, addiction issues, grief, trauma and a wide range of other challenges. Anger is one of the areas she lists among her focus areas, and she offers ways to notice and respond to it differently.

Her approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred listening, with elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and mindfulness. In sessions she helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, try small experiments, and practise grounding or breathing skills.

People can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and adjusted as needed. Sian says she tailors conversation and the plan to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. She emphasises step-by-step change and real-life skills that can be practised between meetings.

Sessions are offered in English and Welsh, and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Sian commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred listening. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anger, anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy breaks down thoughts, feelings and actions into manageable parts so people can test different reactions and try small behavioural experiments.

The choice of approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. Plans are checked and adjusted as progress or new issues emerge.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into busy days, for example by avoiding travel, fitting a session into a lunch break, or using a brief phone check-in when a longer meeting is difficult. Online meetings also make it possible to practise skills in everyday settings and to follow up on exercises between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which approach and format suit you during the initial scheduling process.
