About Sian

Sian Fagan is a psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist registered with the NCPS in the United Kingdom, with four years of professional experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Sian also lists anger, addictions and challenges around motivation and confidence among her concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Sian aims for practical, straightforward conversations. She listens to the immediate problem and what the person wants to change. Therapy plans are discussed together and adjusted as needed rather than rigidly applied. That can mean short tools for calming down, or longer work on beliefs that keep unhelpful patterns going.

She uses clinical hypnotherapy alongside psychotherapeutic approaches to address things like motivation, sleep problems and habit change. Hypnosis is described simply as a way to help people access focused attention and suggestibility to support new behaviours or thinking. Psychotherapy sessions look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and how they link to everyday situations.

Sian has experience with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including grief, parenting strain, ADHD, body image and issues connected to adoption and attachment. She is familiar with working with people who identify as LGBT and with intimacy-related questions. Practical coping skills and discussion of past experiences appear in her work depending on the person’s needs.

People choosing to start are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with cost varying by location.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions and what they do

She combines psychotherapy with clinical hypnotherapy, using each in ways that fit the concern. Psychotherapy involves talking through thoughts, feelings and behaviours to spot unhelpful patterns and practise different responses. It is useful for anxiety, anger, relationship issues and low mood.

Clinical hypnotherapy is used as a focused method to support behaviour change, motivation and sleep. It usually involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help someone rehearse new ways of thinking or breaking habits that hold them back.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust plans as the work progresses. That means sessions can shift between short practical tools and deeper therapeutic exploration if needed.

Practical benefits of working online can include fitting sessions around work or family commitments, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and not needing to travel. Exact session formats are not listed here, so confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can deliver online work effectively when the approach fits the problem and the person’s goals.
