The Youth Fairy

A modern, solution-focused approach to positive change for children, teens and young adults. You can be confident your child is in a trusted pair of hands.

UK wide team specialising in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy. I'm Sian, founder of The Youth Fairy, and I’m dedicated to helping children and teenagers struggling with the effects of anxiety, stress, anger, and low confidence make significant, long term, positive change. I offer a 1-hour consultation face to face in Denton or online, to discuss your child's situation and how I can help them regain more emotional control and see them feeling happier, calmer and much more confident in a relatively short amount of time. As well as helping young people make these changes, I’m passionate that educating them on their mental health is such an important and essential part of the change process. In the consultation, I’ll explain to you and your child how the brain works to create their specific problems and associated feelings, behaviours or symptoms. This understanding can be really motivational to children as they realise there is hope, see more clearly what we can do about it and how to promote more mentally healthy behaviours in the future. This knowledge is super helpful for you as a parent too - it allows for greater understanding, creates a common language to talk more easily with your child about their well-being and gives you specific ideas of how you can best support the process (and beyond). And because this modern, well-researched approach is solution focused, it means your child won’t have to focus on the past in great detail or revisit traumatic events to move towards their preferred future goals. You’ll also get my relaxation audio downloads to help to improve any sleep problems they are having and support the process. 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. You'll also find me out in the local community offering workshops for young people, parents and well-being programmes for teachers and children in primary and secondary schools. I hold an Enhanced DBS and am fully insured.

🎄When the Christmas School holidays become too much...

Between the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, arranging plans, and creating our gift giving list (and checking it twice!), it can be easy to forget that, for some, Christmas is a time where the pang of loneliness feels that little bit harder.

👨👩👧👦 Loneliness isn’t the same as being alone. We might have a brilliant network of friends and family but choose to spend time alone which makes us perfectly happy, or we can have a wide social circle but still feel the pang of loneliness at this time of year. Loneliness then is more about our sense of connection with others - how close and important we feel in the eyes of others and the need for a shared connection.

👨👩👧👦 It’s easy to compare our family and social connections with society’s expectations and get the feeling that perhaps ours don’t quite measure up, or perhaps your family thrives over the festive season with excitement of all the gatherings you have planned, whilst being all too aware that others are not so lucky to experience this same joy.

🎁 But, what if we were to set those expectations aside (and the stress that often comes with it!) and focus on what the true meaning of Christmas actually is: GIVING.

🎁 And not giving in the material sense, but thinking about the essence of what giving truly means: to think of another, to make someone feel special, to help someone less fortunate, to give our time, our resources, our gifts in whatever way we can. And what a lovely, important life lesson we can share with our children when we help to tackle loneliness and give in this way!

🧚 So, head on over to The Parent Pad to read our blog in full and find our top tips for tackling loneliness this Christmas.

💥 Spoiler Alert: Parenting isn’t about perfection - it’s about presence - and NOT the ones under the Tree.

It really is the most magical time of the year 🌟

💬 Be honest!
Who's more excited? You or your children?

It’s that time of the year again – the Christmas nativities! 🎄🎅 The countdown for Christmas has officially started!

💫 If your children are of primary-school age, the Christmas Nativities at school are often an exciting time for parents, not to mention the fact that for many of you reading this, this year may be the first opportunity since the pandemic where you will get to watch your child perform in person, which of course makes the whole experience extra special!

🎄 Those of us who have worked in schools before, know the hard work that goes into putting the Christmas nativities and performances together: finding or creating the perfect script, the endless practising, learning Christmas songs word for word, the amazing costumes the parents create and tending to the last-minute nerves, forgotten lines, or costume disasters!
Amongst the busy-ness and the excitement, it can be so easy to lose sight of what a huge expectation the Christmas nativities are for our children. Whilst many children enjoy the opportunity to shine, there are also many others who can think of nothing worse than performing, singing, or speaking in front of an audience.

😫 It’s worth remembering that, even as adults, this is often something that fills many of us with dread! Further still, some of you reading this as parents may know all too well how difficult your own child finds these occasions and are keen to support them through these inevitable nerves.
Performance anxiety can be linked to any event where an individual feels pressure to succeed or be at their best. This might include:

🎭 Pantomimes, shows and performances
🏈 Sporting matches
🧐 Sitting an exam
🎖 Competitions
😫 Job interviews or work experience
⁉️ Or answering a question in class

It can lead to:
😔 Sweating
😔 Shaking or trembling
😔 Feelings of dizziness
😔 Forgetting lines
😔 Stammering or stuttering
😔 Complaints of feeling sick or a tummy ache
😔 A racing heartbeat
😔 A feeling of dread and obsessively thinking about the event – and feeling certain that it will go wrong.

So, if your child is feeling the anxiety as their day to perform looms ever closer, the ideas in this blog may just be what they need to hear!

So, grab a cuppa and head on over to the Parent Pad to read more about:
👉 How performance anxiety is created
👉 Where to go for further help and support
👉 How to support your child to cope better with nerves and build confidence
