Hello - I'm Sian

I’m a qualified counsellor offering online therapy to adults across the UK. I work with people who feel stuck in cycles of self-doubt, guilt, anxiety, and people-pleasing - often shaped by difficult or emotionally unsafe family relationships.

​

Many of the people I work with have spent a long time questioning themselves. They worry they’re “too sensitive”, feel responsible for others’ emotions, and struggle to rest without guilt. Often they arrive asking, “Is it me?”

​

These patterns don’t come from nowhere. They make sense -and they deserve understanding, not judgement.

​

​

If you recognise yourself in this​

​

You might:

​

• constantly question your thoughts or decisions

• feel anxious or on edge around others

• struggle to say no, even when exhausted

• feel guilty for resting or putting yourself first

• feel responsible for keeping the peace

• have grown up feeling unseen, criticised, or emotionally unsafe

• be navigating distance or estrangement from family members

​

You don’t need to have the language for what you’ve been through. Many people simply know that something hasn’t felt right for a long time.

What it’s like to work with me

​

I work in a way that is warm, collaborative, and led by what feels most important to you. There’s no pressure to talk about anything before you’re ready, and no expectation to have the “right” words. We go at a pace that feels manageable.

I aim to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where you can speak openly and be met with understanding. Therapy is a shared process, built on trust rather than fixing or pushing.

I also understand first-hand how exhausting anxiety, self-doubt, and people-pleasing can be.

 

Therapists are human too.

Practical information

​

I offer a free, no-obligation 15-minute introductory call so we can talk through what you’re looking for and see whether working together feels right.

​

Sessions are offered online and are typically booked weekly at a regular time.
