About Sian

Sian Fagan is a Psychotherapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has four years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. She also lists a range of additional focus areas including ADHD and compassion fatigue.

She keeps conversations straightforward and practical. Sessions look at what is causing daily strain and what small changes might reduce it. That can mean talking through upsetting events, testing new ways of handling relationships, or practising techniques to manage anxiety and low mood.

Sian uses clinical hypnotherapy alongside psychotherapeutic conversation when appropriate. In practice this might mean short guided exercises to calm the nervous system, paired with talk-based work to understand patterns and responses. The aim is to help people feel more able to face specific situations and make clearer choices.

She has worked with people dealing with grief, addiction concerns, sexual identity matters, body image and career stress. Sian also notes experience with complex backgrounds such as adoption, attachment issues and chronic illness. Her work includes supporting people with sleep and eating difficulties where these connect to mood or stress.

Initial steps are practical and collaborative. She uses an assessment conversation to map immediate goals and suggests ways to track progress. Sessions include conversation, practical strategies and, when helpful, short hypnotherapy exercises to support change.

Practical approaches used online and how they help

Evidence-based psychotherapeutic talking techniques focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small changes. This approach helps with everyday pressures such as anxiety about work or study, difficulty with relationships, and low mood by making practical steps clear and repeatable.

Clinical hypnotherapy involves brief guided exercises to reduce physical tension and promote focused attention. When combined with talk work, these exercises can help manage sleep problems, acute stress reactions and difficulties with motivation by providing quick tools to calm the body and reset focus.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to figure out which methods suit their goals and preferences. That means early sessions are used to map priorities, try techniques, and agree what to continue or change together.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into study, shifts or commuting by removing travel time and allowing sessions from more convenient locations. It also allows shorter check-ins or focused practical sessions when a full appointment is not needed, helping therapy fit around a busy early adult life.
