About Sian
Sian Readings is a counsellor who aims to make talking about hard things feel straightforward and safe. She is friendly, down-to-earth and non-judgmental, and she focuses on helping people find a steady way forward. Sian is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She supports people facing anxiety and low mood. Relationship worries and intimacy-related concerns are a common focus. Sian also works with parents and those navigating pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.
Background and approach
Her approach is conversational and paced to each person. She listens for what matters most, and helps people talk through feelings and practical next steps. Sessions are intended to be a place to be honest without pressure.
Sian also offers help with stress, compassion fatigue and self-esteem worries. She can work with issues tied to body image, attachment and sexuality. Longer-standing concerns such as chronic pain, illness or divorces are also within her remit.
In sessions she draws on client-centred ways of working and psychodynamic ideas. That means she gives space for the client’s view while thinking about patterns that can repeat over time. The goal is to increase understanding and make small changes that fit real life.
Sian has three years of experience and sees people in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts clients internationally.

How Sian’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves careful listening, reflecting what you say, and helping you find your own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship worries where feeling heard matters. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and over time. It looks at how earlier experiences can influence current feelings and choices. This can help when problems seem to recur or feel rooted in past events. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sian will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether a client-centred angle, psychodynamic thinking, or a blend of both will suit the situation. Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that’s helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins or a way to stay connected between longer sessions. These options help people work therapy around life commitments and different communication needs.Frequently asked
