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.

✨ On the Blog ✨ This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Separation Anxiety.
Whilst Separation Anxiety is something that is an expected part of development in babies (often experienced around 8 to 12 months) it is usually addressed by the age of 2 years.

Sometimes, however, this anxiety can persist long into childhood and can hugely limit a child’s life and their ability to develop independence and confidence without the presence of a parent or caregiver.

Separation anxiety disorder is a strong and persistent fear of being away from parents or loved ones.
Signs of Separation Anxiety may include:

😔 Clinging to a parent when being left (this can be leaving the room, leaving at school or at bedtime)
😔 Extreme, continued, and severe crying on being left
😔 Nightmares around separation
😔 Not wanting to sleep alone
😔 Refusal to do clubs, activities, parties etc which require separation
😔 Difficulties interacting with other children
😔 Headaches or vomiting
😔 Refusing to attend school
😔 Tantrums and emotional or violent outbursts associated with separation.

Separation Anxiety may be affected by a parent experiencing anxiety or by stressful events such as:

👉 Moving home
👉 Moving schools
👉 Divorce
👉 Death of a family member

Remember, this fear is very real for your child. They are fearful that you will not return or that something will happen to you or to them if you are not together.
Our blog this week covers tips on supporting your child through this and helping them find ways to cope better including:

✨ Creating opportunities for them to practice
✨ Sticking to a routine as much as possible
✨ Being positive
✨ Providing connection
✨ Validating their feelings

✨ Happy Tuesday 👋 I wanted to pop on to say Hello and to reintroduce myself to my new followers ...

I'm Sian, founder of The Youth Fairy, a growing team of Solution Focused therapists who are dedicated to helping children and teenagers struggling with the effects of anxiety, stress, anger and low confidence. 🧚‍♀️

👉 I use modern, solution-focused approaches to positive change, including Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy, Coaching & NLP - all of which actively encourage children to:

🧚 Re-focus more on the positive
🧚 Recognise strengths
🧚 Improve quality of sleep
🧚 Engage more in positive activities
🧚 Feel more in control of their emotions and lives

✨Everyone who comes to see me makes change at their own pace but when it happens, I am flooded with ABSOLUTE pride for the young person in front of me.✨

✨ As well as helping young people make these changes, part of my therapeutic process involves teaching children about how their brain works in relation to their well-being which is super helpful for them (and parents) to understand as it helps them take more control in creating more mentally healthy behaviours in the future.✨

🧚‍♀️ 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. For younger children I can adapt brain explanations to incorporate their favourite characters, interests and have a range of sensory resources to encourage positive engagement.

🧚‍♀️ 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 facilitating workshops and well-being programmes for schools, working with children by the WOLO Foundation and Holding Space Charity.

If you’d like a confidential chat about how I can help your child if they are struggling please do get in touch.

✨ To all of the Brilliant Funny Amazing Beautiful students collecting their GCSE's this morning...

This is just the beginning 💪

20/08/2025

✨ New Blog ✨ It’s that time of the year again – Exam Results!

Last week, 14th August, was A’ level results day. Thursday, 21st August, is GCSE results day.

And with both of these days comes a whole range of emotions: nervousness, apprehension, disappointment or excitement.

✨ Whilst this day is full of nerves for both parents and their teenagers, one thing is certain: nothing that happens on those days can change what has led up to this point, so it’s all about moving forward – whether good or not quite the outcome that was hoped for.

And whilst, if disappointments arise it might feel like the end of the road, the second truth is that it’s really only the beginning. The beginning of many opportunities to come. 🙌

As the saying goes, “Ones best successes come after their greatest disappointment” (Henry Ward Beecher).

⚡️ If disappointment is something your teenager faces this week, although they may not see it at first, their results leave them with OPPORTUNITY – the opportunity to give up, or the opportunity to try again, and the opportunity to perhaps try a different path that can lead to even more opportunity!

⚡️ Because when we frame disappointment in a positive light, we know it’s not the end of the road – and it gives us the hope and courage to try again.

🤯 Disappointments often lead to a spiral of negative thinking in the immediate aftermath. It’s important, once your teenager has had time to process this, that we support them in finding new ways to reframe this in a way that proves helpful and motivating to them.

So, head on over to The Parent Pad to read this week’s blog in full for more on:

🧚 How to reframe setbacks as opportunities
🧚 How to help motivate your teen after a setback
🧚 What to say and what to do next
