The breakthrough: a phrase I think best sums up that moment in which I can see, really clearly, the change that has taken place for the young person I’m working with. For some, it occurs quickly, after a couple of sessions. For others, it may take more.  Everyone makes change at their own pace. But when it happens, I am flooded with absolute pride for the young person in front of me.

There are many ways I can measure your child’s positive progress throughout the therapeutic process; for example, their own self-reflection and the behavioural changes that you or other key figures in their lives have noticed. I also use outcome software that measures the amount of ‘clinical change’ your child makes, which can be presented as a graph, colourful bar charts and is lovely for them to look back over and see just how far they have come.

But the breakthrough is something else. Impossible to fully capture with data, numbers, and progress graphs.

It’s that moment at which all the different elements of the process and strategies they’ve learnt come together.  Where they just seem to have grown, they are still them, but different; happier, calmer, more confident and sometimes not even recognising the enormity of the changes themselves, even though we clearly can.

You can be confident your child is in a trusted pair of hands with me. In addition to thousands of clinical hours working with young people in my therapy practice, I have worked in education for over a decade as a teacher and previously as a Head of Year, responsible for the social and emotional well-being of the children in my care.

I am creative in nature and have significant experience creating strong, positive rapport with young people, allowing me to be flexible and responsive to your child’s individual needs.  Part of my therapeutic process involves teaching children about how their brain works in relation to their well-being and for younger children I can adapt explanations to incorporate their favourite characters, interests and have a range of sensory resources to encourage positive engagement.

You’ll also find me out in the local community facilitating workshops and wellbeing programmes for schools, working with children supported by the WOLO Foundation and Holding Space Charity, plus I’m super proud to be the sponsor for the local Premier Under 7’s and Annecy Primary Football team.

I am fully insured, have an up-to-date Enhanced DBS certificate and I am a member of the following professional bodies:

  • National Council Of Psychotherapists (NCP)
  • National Council For Hypnotherapy (NCH)
  • Association For Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH)
  • Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC)

I was concerned that Liam’s levels of stress and anxiety were going beyond ‘normal.’ He struggled to manage any kind of change, no matter how small and the pressure of YR 6 was making him physically ill at times.

Sian’s approach is very positive and as the sessions progressed his negative mindset shifted. He managed the week of SATs tests without any major meltdowns and the transition to his new secondary school with similar calm. Before he worked with Sian, that kind of transition would have meant daily meltdowns for more than a week beforehand but, apart from a small wobble on the first morning, you wouldn’t have known that it was coming.

I would recommend Sian very highly indeed: she is calm in her approach and has a lovely manner with children, encouraging them to quickly feel at ease and engage positively with the therapy.

When we met Sian, Emma had anger issues she couldn’t control, and we were at breaking point! Sian has a wonderful way with kids and we can almost not recognise Emma from the child she was 6 weeks ago!

She also gained so much confidence she auditioned and got a part in the school play – she would never have done that before meeting Sian! The impact of Sian’s sessions for the whole family is huge and I cannot thank her enough.

Anna’s always been quite sensitive- kind and thinking of others so when her friends started talking about self-harming she worried excessively and started having dark intrusive thoughts. After her first session with Sian we instantly saw results!!!!

She came downstairs very calmly with a lovely natural smile on her face and really relaxed body language. She has also started helping her friends think more positively too! I loved how she said ‘Sian doesn’t make me talk about lots of bad things, we focus on the positives’ which is something I’ve taken on board. Unless it’s a really important problem, we now look back on the good things from the day at bedtime instead.

Thank you so much for your help Sian, I hope other’s get the pleasure of working with you and receiving help for their children.

Lucie received an award this week for all her hard work at school.

Bearing in mind she had to be peeled off me on the first day this really is such an achievement for her! She seems to have really turned a corner and not ‘spiralling’ when things are a bit harder at school.

Thanks to your support and positivity she’s really starting to blossom back to her usual self.

Thank you, Sian!

Ross was extremely self-conscious and stressed out with his mock exams and I have noticed a big increase in his confidence.

I was so happy when he went to a festival this summer and joined in with he music experience, clapping along to the music, singing and cheering. He would never, ever have been that involved or open in his behaviour prior to seeing Sian.

Sian has shown him how important it is to congratulate himself on his achievements and helped him be more positive and open to new experiences. I found Sian to be professional but very personable, calm and very easy to talk to. Thank you so much Sian, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to any parent.
