About Sian

Sian Fagan is a psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. She holds the NCPS credential and brings four years of professional experience to her work. Sian aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain about their next steps.

Sian helps people with common concerns such as stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and issues with motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Her scope includes a wide range of other challenges, from addictions and grief to caring for someone with illness and ageing and geriatric issues.

In sessions Sian adapts the conversation and the plan to each person. She uses psychotherapeutic dialogue together with clinical hypnotherapy where appropriate to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping. The approach is practical and collaborative, focused on small steps that build into larger change.

People often come for help with life transitions, burnout or ongoing stress related to work and family roles. Sian also offers support around intimacy, body image, sleep and eating concerns, and neurodiversity-related challenges such as autism and ADHD. She works with compassion fatigue and caregiver stress as well.

She describes therapy as a process of discovery and gradual change. Sian encourages people to set realistic goals and reviews progress regularly. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions according to availability.

How evidence-based methods work online

Sian combines psychotherapeutic talk work with clinical hypnotherapy as part of her approach. Psychotherapeutic work usually focuses on noticing unhelpful patterns, talking through stressful situations and trying new coping strategies. Clinical hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help people change habits, manage anxiety and improve confidence.

Choosing the right method is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then recommend techniques to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed over time.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people access therapists across different regions, which can be helpful for those seeking a particular therapeutic style or perspective.
