Sian Readings, BACP

Sian Readings creates a warm, down-to-earth space where speaking about life’s challenges becomes more manageable. She brings a friendly, non-judgmental presence and encourages honesty so people can explore difficult feelings at a pace that feels right for them.

Sian supports individuals coping with anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties, as well as those navigating pregnancy, birth, the postnatal period and the practical demands of parenthood. She aims to stand alongside clients through the early steps of therapy, offering understanding, emotional support and practical guidance as they work through concerns.

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and Sian focuses on making that first step as comfortable as possible. Her approach is grounded in creating a safe, respectful environment where people can reflect, make sense of their experiences and take manageable steps toward change.

Approaches that guide online therapy and what to expect

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing a respectful, empathetic space where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions. It helps people who need support building self-understanding, improving self-esteem and working through everyday stresses by encouraging personal insight and self-directed change.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and relationships. This approach can be useful for addressing recurring relationship difficulties, attachment concerns and deeper emotional themes that affect day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is treated as a collaborative process. Sian will work with each person to identify which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the way therapy is delivered as understanding develops.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide alternatives for those who prefer written communication or need more adaptable scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care across locations, while working with registered professionals who can support progress over time.
