Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. Reaching out to someone you don't know to talk about deeply personal things can feel awkward, overwhelming or vulnerable. If you're unsure where to begin, you don't need to have everything figured out before getting in touch.

I'm Siân, a person-centred counsellor offering a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences, make sense of what's happening in your life and feel heard. You might be struggling with anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, a significant life change or simply feeling that things have become too much. Perhaps you've spent so long looking after others that you've lost sight of your own needs. Whatever brings you to therapy, we can begin wherever you are.

My approach is relational and client-led. I believe that feeling safe enough to be yourself, and having space to explore your experiences at your own pace, can be an important starting point for change. I work integratively, drawing on psychological theory and other therapeutic perspectives where helpful.

I hold an MSc in Psychology, where my research into ADHD received university recognition, and a PGDip in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I also work with a specialist service supporting autistic people and their families. This informs my understanding of neurodivergence, including the experiences of parents supporting neurodivergent children. My counselling experience also includes working with anxiety, depression, burnout and adults at all different stages of life.

My background as a qualified yoga teacher, alongside training in neurofeedback, informs my interest in the relationship between our minds, bodies and emotional experiences.

You don't need to know exactly what you want to talk about or have the right words to explain how you feel. I offer individual sessions online and in person, and welcome an initial, no-pressure conversation so you can decide whether working together feels right for you.

What to Expect from Working Together

Choosing to start therapy is a significant decision, and knowing what to expect can help ease those initial nerves. Whether we meet online or in person, my aim is to offer a consistent, grounded, and welcoming space where you can set down the weight you’ve been carrying.

Our Initial Conversation

Our work begins with a short initial, low-pressure consultation. This is a chance for us to talk through what brings you to therapy, what you hope to get out of it, and any questions you might have. Most importantly, it gives you a sense of how it feels to talk with me so you can decide if I am the right fit for you.

How Sessions Work

Sessions last 50 minutes and are client-led, meaning you set the pace and decide what we focus on each week. Depending on what you need, our time together might involve:

• Unpacking current stressors, relationship dynamics, or life transitions.
• Exploring underlying patterns, thoughts, and emotional responses.
• Incorporating gentle somatic awareness to help ground your nervous system if you are feeling anxious, burnt out, or overwhelmed.

Online & In-Person Options

In-Person Sessions: Held in a quiet, comfortable, and dedicated therapeutic space designed to feel private and safe.

Online Sessions: Conducted via a secure, confidential video platform, allowing you to access therapy from the comfort and convenience of your own home.

Whether you are looking for short-term support during a specific challenge or longer-term exploratory therapy, we will review our progress regularly to ensure you feel supported and heard every step of the way.

Our Initial Conversation

Our work begins with a 15 minute, low-pressure free telephone consultation. This is a chance for us to talk through what brings you to therapy, what you hope to get out of it, and any questions you might have. Most importantly, it gives you a sense of how it feels to talk with me so you can decide if I am the right fit for you.
