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.

🎢 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.

Body Image & Teens How to Help Your Child Feel Confident in Their Own Skin

For many teens, body image feels like a rollercoaster confident one day, self-conscious the next. With social media, peer pressure and school life all shaping how they see themselves, it’s not always easy to know how to help.

In our latest Parent Pad blog, we explore:

🧠 What’s happening in the teenage brain

💬 How to respond in ways that calm anxiety, not amplify it

🌱 Small, solution-focused steps that build real confidence over time

The teenage brain is still developing, especially the part responsible for perspective and rational thinking. That means emotions around appearance can feel intense. But the good news is the brain is neuroplastic, so repeated positive experiences can literally rewire how teens see themselves. ✨

Body image isn’t about perfection, it’s about helping your teen build a kinder relationship with themselves. And your calm, consistent support makes more difference than you might think. 💫

🧚 My SMILE for Parents programme is designed to help you regain a greater sense of emotional control and will support you in making those positive changes in thoughts and behaviours you need to feel calmer, happier and much more confident as a person – and as a parent.

And the great thing is our Solution Focused approach means you don’t need to excessively talk about past problems, your perceived ‘parenting mistakes’ (even Youth Fairies have felt that completely unhelpful parent guilt) or trauma in order to get you back on top of things and feeling like yourself again.

Can help to...

✔️ Boost feelings of overall happiness
✔️ Cope calmly with everyday situations
✔️ Feel in control of reactions, thoughts & emotions
✔️ Rediscover your confidence & self-recognition
✔️ Develop a more positive outlook
✔️ Interact more positively with others
✔️ Cope better with life challenges
