About Sian
Sian Hines is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has four years' experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, addictions, parenting and blended family issues among other concerns.
Sian uses a blend of therapeutic approaches rather than a single model. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside longer conversations about personal history. She aims to help people understand how past patterns affect current relationships and choices.
In practice she mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with attachment-informed ideas and client-centred listening. Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolbox when appropriate. This means sessions can include mindful exercises, practical thinking tools, and exploration of attachment experiences.
People often come with relationship and communication problems, issues around commitment or codependency, or the stresses of changing family arrangements. Sian can help with intimacy-related concerns, body image, and aspects of kink and BDSM as they affect wellbeing.
The first meetings typically explain the counselling process and agree what to work on. She encourages straightforward discussion about goals and what feels manageable. For international clients, sessions are offered in English and the booking process asks a few questions before arranging the first meeting.
Approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It uses values and committed action to guide practical steps for change, which can help with anxiety, stress and life adjustments.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses straightforward tools to test unhelpful thinking and develop alternative responses, useful for sleep problems, low mood and worry.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed with carers and how those patterns shape adult relationships. It can be helpful for intimacy concerns, abandonment issues and difficulties with trust and communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the client's needs. That process is collaborative and can change as priorities shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use therapies such as ACT and CBT in regular weekly practice without needing to attend in person.
