Services
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy creates subconscious change through guided relaxation and suggestion techniques. We use this evidence-based approach to address anxiety, phobias, and behavioural patterns by accessing the subconscious mind. Clients experience reduced stress and lasting behavioural improvements through our tailored hypnotherapy sessions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT breaks down overwhelming problems into manageable components to change negative thought patterns. Our therapists help clients develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and emotional challenges. This structured approach empowers clients to achieve measurable improvements in mental well-being through skill-building exercises.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
DBT combines CBT techniques with mindfulness practices to treat emotional regulation difficulties. We specialise in helping clients manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop distress tolerance skills. This comprehensive approach addresses borderline personality disorder symptoms and complex emotional challenges through structured skill development.
Emotional Issues Treatment
Our emotional therapy addresses anxiety, depression, and trauma-related conditions through integrated treatment approaches. We help clients understand and reframe painful emotions using evidence-based techniques that promote emotional resilience. Treatment focuses on developing healthier coping mechanisms and restoring emotional balance.
Phobia Treatment
Phobia treatment utilises exposure techniques combined with hypnotherapy to overcome irrational fears. We help clients gradually confront and reframe their phobic responses through systematic desensitisation. This approach enables lasting freedom from phobias that previously limited daily functioning and quality of life.

Sian is just the loveliest, she makes you feel extremely at ease as if youre talking to a friend, in the short time ive been seeing her, she has helped me massively. CBT is such a fantastic therapy and I highly recommended Sian to be your therapist of choice :)

Report
I couldn't recommend Sian highly enough - she helped me from one of my lowest points to feeling confident and happy again in just five weeks. The CBT techniques she taught me have given me the tools to change the way I think about situations that used to give me crippling anxiety. For me, the hypnotherapy was also a great addition as it means I can revert to the recording whenever I feel like I'm going off track. Working with Sian has been life-changing for me.
