About Sarah
Sarah "Sian" Welch is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and low self-esteem. She also works with relationship and family concerns, grief, sleeping difficulties, parenting strain and anger.
Sian approaches therapy with the view that each person knows their own story. She looks for strengths clients already have and uses those as a starting point. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical ways to manage feelings and behaviour across daily life.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Those approaches are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try different responses and commit to actions that reflect their values. Sian uses clear explanations and simple exercises that people can practise between sessions.
She also supports people facing longer term health or life-stage challenges, including chronic pain or midlife change. Additional areas she addresses include control issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, panic, seasonal mood changes and process addictions.
Sian accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Practical steps for starting include completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How ACT and CBT guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It uses small practical steps to move toward what matters, which can help with anger, avoidance and low mood.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and change reactions, useful for anxiety, panic and stress-related anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your needs. That collaborative process may adjust over time as you see what helps.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life by removing travel and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when that suits your routine or bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals will explain practical arrangements and help plan sessions that fit your day-to-day life.
