About Sian

Sian Fagan is a psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist working in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS as a credential and brings four years of professional experience to her practice. Sian aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people to talk about difficult issues.

Sian focuses on common problems such as stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also helps with self-esteem, motivation, confidence, and a wide range of life challenges including grief, addiction concerns, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and body image. Her work includes support for people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, and other complex situations.

In sessions she tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. That means listening first, then shaping the approach to fit what the person wants to change. She describes the first step as often the hardest, and offers steady practical support through that beginning stage.

Sian aims to make therapy straightforward and down to earth. She uses straightforward language and practical steps rather than technical terms. People can expect a calm, respectful manner and an emphasis on what will help most in day-to-day life.

Her background as a psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist informs the work she does, and she adapts methods to suit each person. For those considering therapy, Sian encourages taking the next step and matching with a format and schedule that fit their life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to Sian's work. One common approach she uses is practical talking therapy that focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and then finding small, manageable ways to change them. This can help with stress, anxiety, low mood and confidence problems. Another element comes from clinical hypnotherapy, which involves guided relaxation and suggestion to help reduce anxiety, shift habits and support motivation for change. These approaches tend to focus on clear goals and step-by-step progress.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will discuss a person’s concerns, goals and preferences, and then choose methods together. That means the plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear, keeping the work relevant and responsive.

If you are considering online therapy, please check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Confirming options ensures you can pick what fits your day-to-day life. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people access support from different locations. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can tailor sessions so they suit practical needs and make therapy easier to maintain alongside everyday responsibilities.
