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.

Did you know February is LGBTQ+ History Month?

This week we are writing this guide for parents of LGBTQ+ young people to provide you with some useful information should you be seeking support for yourself, your family, or your young person when they are identifying as LGBTQ+

🌈 Talking about relationships, gender identity and sexuality can feel daunting as a parent, however, we do know that young people have questions. Some may be more forward and open and others may be quieter, but all young people hit the stage where they begin to have questions about where they fit in.

🧚 In this week’s blog you’ll find ideas about how best to support your LGBTQ+ young person by:

🌈 Listening
🌈 Accepting
🌈 Gaining knowledge
🌈 Being able to make mistakes
🌈 Supporting their mental health

🧚 You’ll also find in this week’s blog top tips on looking after yourself, seeking support from local or national organisations and how a therapist may be able to help young LGBTQ+ people.
