About me
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 make some room for you and whatever needs some space. Perhaps you can't stop worrying, or you're experiencing relationship difficulties. You might be navigating some big life changes or feeling like you're completely stuck. Perhaps you have lost your spark or are simply feeling that things have become too much for you. You might have spent so long looking after others that you've lost sight of yourself. Whatever brings you to therapy, we can begin exactly where you are today.
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.
First Step
Get in touch and I'll suggest some available times to have a short telephone consultation. This is just a chance for me to find out a bit more about what brings you to therapy and what you hope to get out of it and answer any questions that you have. But most importantly, it gives you a sense of how it feels to talk to me and you can decide if I am the right fit for you. If you want to go ahead we can arrange a day and time to meet.
What To Expect
Our sessions will last 50 minutes and I will be led by you in terms of pace and where you want to focus 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 have regular check-ins and reviews to make sure that you are getting what you need in terms of support.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an MSc in Psychology and a PGDip in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I also work with a specialist service supporting autistic people and their families so work in a neuro-affirming way. I'm also a qualified yoga teacher and have trained in neurofeedback both of which inform my understanding of the connection and interplay between brains, bodies and the messy business of being human.
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.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
