About Sian

Sian Fagan is a psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist working in the United Kingdom. She holds the NCPS credential and has four years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, and she adapts conversation and plans to each person’s needs.

She offers practical help for low mood, loss of motivation, and confidence struggles. She also supports people managing trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and complex stress such as caregiver strain or chronic illness. Grief and end-of-life concerns are among the areas she lists experience with, and she will work alongside you through those challenges.

In sessions she blends talking therapy with clinical hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate, shaping each meeting to what the person needs that day. She aims for clear, manageable steps rather than long essays or jargon, so people can try things between meetings and notice small changes.

Sian emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion in every interaction. She explains options and invites questions so people can choose what feels right. Her work focuses on helping people build coping skills, restore confidence and find ways to feel steadier in everyday life.

To begin she asks about the current difficulties, what goals matter most, and any past therapy that was helpful. From there she and the person agree a tailored plan that fits their situation and pace.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Evidence-based talking therapy focuses on understanding current difficulties and developing practical strategies to manage them. In plain terms this means discussing what feels hard now, trying small exercises or thought techniques, and tracking what changes. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship stress and coping with life transitions.

Clinical hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help change how a person reacts to certain thoughts or sensations. It is often used alongside talk-based work to support motivation, reduce anxiety or manage sleep and pain symptoms, depending on what the person wants to address.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and any past therapies, then suggest steps to try. If something does not feel helpful it will be reviewed and adapted together rather than stuck with a single method.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time so meetings are easier to keep. Because the original profile does not specify session formats, please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it simpler to maintain continuity and check in more regularly while balancing day-to-day commitments.
