About Sian

Sian Readings is a BACP counsellor who helps people untangle difficult feelings and life changes. She offers a calm, down-to-earth presence so people can talk openly and at their own pace. Her manner is friendly and non-judgemental, and she aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable.

She supports people with relationship and intimacy concerns, stress and anxiety, and the strain of parenting and the perinatal period. She also works with issues such as attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness and pain, and the emotional impact of divorce and separation.

Background and approach

Sian addresses topics like guilt, shame, forgiveness and rebuilding self-esteem in simple, practical terms. Sian blends client-centred work with psychodynamic ideas. That means she listens closely to what matters to each person, and pays attention to patterns from earlier life that still affect day-to-day feelings.

Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on gradual understanding of how those patterns play out. Her style is practical and relational. Sessions can include talking through current problems, reflecting on recurring behaviours, and trying small changes between meetings.

People leaving therapy often have clearer priorities and coping steps they can use in daily life. She works in English and accepts international clients. Sian has three years of professional experience and is based in the United Kingdom.

Online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and agenda. It helps with building self-awareness, improving communication in relationships, and finding practical ways to cope with stress and low mood.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from earlier life and how they affect current feelings and behaviours. It can be useful when people keep repeating the same difficulties in relationships or struggle to understand where strong emotions come from.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sian will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which way of working to try and adapt it over time if needed.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people work face to face without travel, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, live chat can help when writing feels easier, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping the focus on the therapy itself.
