About Sian
Sian Readings is a counsellor who focuses on helping people handle anxiety, stress and relationship concerns. She uses a calm, down-to-earth style to make conversations straightforward. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental so people can talk honestly at their own pace.
She meets people where they are and listens first. That helps her understand what feels most difficult, whether it is low mood, parenting strains, or changes around pregnancy and birth.
Background and approach
She aims to offer practical guidance alongside emotional support. Sian draws on client-centred ways of working. That means the sessions follow what the person brings, and the counsellor reflects and clarifies so the client can find their own solutions.
She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past that might be shaping current feelings and relationships. Sessions can help with intimacy and family-related worries, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions. She also gives attention to issues such as attachment, body image, chronic illness or pain, and the emotional fallout of separation and divorce.
Sian has three years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients, offering a range of online session formats to fit different needs.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Sian uses client-centred work and psychodynamic thinking in her online practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and following the person’s concerns so they can find solutions that fit. It is useful for day-to-day stresses, anxiety and relationship worries.Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences affect present feelings. It can help when someone notices repeated difficulties in intimacy, self-esteem or coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Sian discusses what matters most at the first sessions and adjusts methods to match goals, needs and personal preferences. This is a collaborative process between counsellor and client so the work feels relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for a more traditional session with visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to use video or have lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, shorter reflections or when someone needs flexible timing. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
