About Sian

NCPS, 4 years of professional experience. Sian Fagan is a counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist based in the United Kingdom who works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. She also has experience supporting people with depression and related difficulties.

Sian uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside clinical hypnotherapy to help people talk through what feels most pressing. Sessions focus on practical steps, changing unhelpful patterns, and building skills for everyday life. She adapts discussions and any hypnotherapy work to the goals the person brings to sessions.

Her practice includes work around intimacy, addictions, grief, sleep and eating problems, anger, career concerns and coping with life changes. She also lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, chronic illness and body image. These form part of the issues she will consider in assessment and planning.

Sian frames counselling as a collaborative process. She listens to what someone wants to change, outlines possible ways of working, and adjusts the pace according to progress. Hypnotherapy is offered as one element alongside talking work when appropriate.

Patients can expect clear, direct conversation about goals and steps to make change. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users follow the platform process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Evidence-based approaches and remote counselling

Sian combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with clinical hypnotherapy. Evidence-based techniques involve talking through patterns, learning practical coping skills and trying behavioural experiments to change unhelpful reactions; these approaches can help with anxiety, depression and stress management. Clinical hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to reframe thoughts and behaviours, which some people find useful for confidence, motivation and managing certain symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options during assessment and together decide what methods suit the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted over time based on how someone responds.

The biography does not list specific session formats for remote work, so please confirm the available formats before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or longer check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use remote sessions to keep continuity of support and to reach people who live further away.
