About Sian

Sian Hines offers down-to-earth counselling for people feeling overwhelmed by life. She meets clients where they are and helps them make sense of strong emotions. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aiming to reduce stress and ease depression symptoms over time.

Sian works from a blended model that uses ideas from different therapies rather than one fixed method. Sessions look at past experiences, present struggles and future goals. Conversations are paced to suit each person and focused on what matters most to them.

Background and approach

She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about anxiety, grief, relationship worries, intimacy-related issues and self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with sleeping problems, addictions, anger and the strain of major life changes. Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, blended family dynamics and sexual lifestyle matters such as BDSM and kink.

Sian holds NCPS as a recognised credential and brings four years of counselling experience. She explains the counselling process clearly and stays alongside clients as they explore parts of themselves they want to understand or change. Sessions are offered from the United Kingdom and she can work with international clients.

People can expect bespoke care that adapts over time, with practical discussion, simple tools and reflective work to help them move forward.

Online support

Sian draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as part of her blended practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and focuses on acting in line with personal values. It suits issues like anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and offers practical techniques to shift them, which can help with sleeping problems, stress and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Sian collaborates with each person to identify what feels most useful. That might mean trying a few methods and adjusting over time based on the client's goals and preferences.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quick check-in. Text and chat sessions suit shorter reflections, ongoing support between meetings or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to access support from different locations.
