My name is Sian and I am an experienced and qualified integrative counsellor. I am committed to providing counselling in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. I am passionate about the benefits that counselling can give in helping to improve our mental wellbeing.

Counselling is a talking therapy that takes place in a safe, non judgemental environment and it provides the opportunity discuss concerns with an independent person. Counselling can provide information or challenges but not advise you how to live your life.

Counsellors are trained to help others cope with emotional and social issues which can affect people of all ages. You may be suffering from anxiety or depression, have relationship problems, low self-esteem, have been bereaved or be dealing with other difficult events. Counselling provides you with a chance to talk about your feelings and experiences in a safe place with someone who will listen to and support you. Your counsellor will seek to understand, not judge and will work with you to make sense of your situation and make changes that improve your life.

I specialise in working with issues around the following:

Anxiety and Depression

Fertility Issues

Donor Conception, surrogacy and adoption

Miscarriage, pregnancy and baby loss

Termination

Pre-natal and post-natal anxiety and depression

Relationship difficulties 

Psychosexual therapy

Couples counselling (couples MOT)

Trauma

Work issues

Bereavement

LGBTQ+

I work with individuals on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully.

I also have extensive experience working with the LGBTQ+ community.

Please check my website www.skncounselling.com

My practice is all about autonomy, this is your space to talk about whatever you need to at that time. I am flexible with times/days and also frequency of sessions. 

In the first session I will identify what it is that you want from counselling and how I can help you with that. I will also find out from you how you are feeling and a brief history. I will then ask you to have a think and let me know whether or not you want to continue with sessions and how  you would like to do that. 

I am an experienced and qualified integrative couples counsellor. I am committed to providing counselling in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. I am passionate about the benefits that counselling can give in helping to improve our mental wellbeing and in improving our relationships.

I work with couples on the following:

Communication difficulties

Fertility Issues

Grieving the loss of a baby or child

Infidelity

Issues around intimacy/psychosexual

Polyamorous relationships

I also work with couples who are looking for ways to improve their relationship for the future. 

I work with LGBTQ+ couples too. 

I believe in autonomy so although I can guide you on best practice ultimately decisions around number of sessions and frequency depend on you. I don't believe that one size fits all and so the sessions are designed for you and your needs which we can discuss at the first session.

Couples therapy is a bit more directive than individual therapy and so I may make suggestions to guide you. 

Mainly I am not there to take sides.

In the first session I will discuss with you both what your aims are with therapy and what you are trying to achieve. I will also take an indepth history. 

I am an experienced and qualified integrative counsellor. I am committed to providing counselling in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. I am passionate about the benefits that counselling can give in helping to improve our mental wellbeing.

I specialise in fertility issues, relationship issues, baby loss, trying after loss, perinatal anxiety and depression and birth trauma.

I am trained to help clients cope with emotional issues which can affect people of all ages.  such as anxiety or depression, low self-esteem, have been bereaved or be dealing with other difficult events. Or just feeling sad. I can provide  a chance to talk about feelings and experiences in a safe place with someone who will listen to and support. 

I work in an open ended way and am happy to provide therapy online or face to face. I believe that everyone is an individual and so I cater therapy to what the needs were. 

The first session is an assessment to work out what is needed and also to make sure that we both think we can work together.
