The Youth Fairy

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.

🌟 NEW BLOG Helping Your Child Thrive in the School Social Environment 🌟

School isn’t just about lessons and homework , it’s a whole social world. Friendships form, confidence grows (and sometimes wobbles), and children learn who they are in relationship with others. 💛

In our latest blog, we explore how to support your child through friendship ups and downs using simple neuroscience and practical, solution-focused tools. From calming big emotions to building social confidence step by step, we share gentle ways to guide (not rescue) so your child can grow resilience that lasts.

Because thriving socially doesn’t mean having no bumps in the road… it means feeling capable of navigating them. If you’d like to help your child feel more confident, connected and secure at school, this one’s for you. ✨

🌙 Why Won’t My Child Sleep in Their Own Bed?

Does bedtime feel like a constant battle in your house? You're not alone!

Many parents face the challenge of getting their little ones to settle (and stay) in their own bed throughout the night. Whether it’s separation anxiety, fear of the dark, or just wanting extra cuddles, understanding the why behind this behaviour can make all the difference.💡

In our latest blog, we explore:

👉 The common reasons kids resist sleeping alone
👉 Practical tips to encourage independent sleeping
👉 How to create a bedtime routine that works for your family

Let’s flip that bedtime switch and turn bedtime battles into peaceful nights! 💤

Why does body image matter so much for teenagers? 💭

Negative body image isn’t just about appearance. It can impact mental health, increasing the risk of anxiety, low mood, and depression. It can also affect confidence in social situations and reduce motivation to try new activities or step outside their comfort zone.

💛 By helping your teen develop realistic, kind, and solution-focused ways of thinking about their body, you’re supporting more than their self-esteem - you’re strengthening their resilience and protecting their long-term mental health.

🧚 Take a watch as Sarah, The Youth Fairy Guildford & Woking tells more…

🎢 For many teens, body image can feel like a rollercoaster.

One day they’re confident, the next they’re full of doubt. With social media, school, and peer pressure shaping how they think they should look, it’s not always easy for parents to know how to support them.

🧚 Becky, The Youth Fairy Hastings, breaks down what’s actually happening in the teen brain and how parents can better understand and help.
