Anxiety & Panic, Presentation Skills
“I originally came to Sian regarding some work related stress… I suddenly started having these intense panic attacks every time I had to communicate to a group – whether it was a proper presentation, talking to a group of colleagues in a meeting or providing updates on a call, I panicked every single time. It got to the point where I was panicking about panicking – just waiting for it to happen was debilitating and affecting my career and personal life. I began to shy away from opportunities and would dread having to speak to anyone new out of fear I would panic.
The confusing part is I’m a very confident and capable person. I’m not shy by any means or afraid to speak my mind, which made the constant panicking very frustrating for me. I was sad and embarrassed and worried which just seemed to feed the panic.
Sian is amazing. She has such an open, calm and accepting demeanor and she is also extremely skilled at honing into what the issue is and framing it in a way that suits your mode of thinking (are you logical, emotional …etc) so you can truly understand it, not just know it.
We went far beyond my original panicking issue and I have felt the positive effects ripple throughout my personal and professional life. When I think back to the me who first went to see Sian, I wonder how I survived as long as I did. That was what I was doing then, surviving, desperately flapping about, trying to keep my head above the water. It was exhausting.
Now I feel like the me I always wished I could be, but thought unattainable. I’m not perfect and I have to work at staying the course but all the crap anchoring me to the dark places no longer has its hold, which makes staying the course a lot easier and more enjoyable.
I would not be this new me without Sian. I get emotional when I talk about her and I’m emotional now as I type this; she is unbelievably gifted. I was only able to go to the places I did and be as honest as I was because no matter what I said, she didn’t flinch. That openness coupled with Sian’s distinctive professional abilities and techniques lead me to the place I am now.”

Anxiety, Fear of Flying
“With Siân’s help I have been able to gain back my self esteem and confidence. I am a work in progress but have a deeper understanding in to the way I work. She has helped me to build myself up. I now realise I am a strong woman who can do whatever she sets her mind to. I find travelling much easier and I have just enjoyed a holiday overseas without panic at any point a major achievement not only to travel but to actually enjoy my time away which seemed impossible. I am away again in three weeks another flight slightly longer this time but confident I can do this. Siân has been an important part of my journey and I am very grateful for all her help and insight. Thank you Siân.”

Social Anxiety
“I feel so lucky to have found Sian when I did. Sian has a really caring and nurturing approach to therapy and creates a welcoming and friendly environment for you to share in. She helped me tremendously with my social anxiety and general fear of the world around me when I was really struggling in my work life and with personal relationships. At the time I felt I wasn’t living but just getting through. Sian worked at my pace and along with the therapy would set me small goals to help me progress in my own time. It’s hard to see at the time as changes aren’t always instant but when you look back it’s quite astonishing to see how far you’ve really come. Sian would describe therapy as ‘the dripping tap effect’, helping drop by drop to create something sustainable rather than a wave of a magic wand. That really helped motivate me to keep trying and keep building on the work I was doing with her. She is a very experienced therapist who has helped me get back into the world and enjoy it again. Thank you Sian!”

“To put it simply, my demons that I felt controlled me have dissolved. Sian guided me to search in myself the calm that was already there. No mumbo jumbo. Sian helps you to be true and honest with yourself. My perspective has changed for the better and affects my every day life. I’m sure others would say the same when you think “i’ll never not feel like this”, but you can!! And Sian made it so easy. I would recommend her in a heart beat. So grateful, thank you Sian.”

Anxiety and Stress
“Thanks again for your help which has really been invaluable . Although things were bad at the end of last year for me I think they would have been a lot worse for a lot longer if I hadn’t had the sessions with you. I do feel I’ve managed to fundamentally change some of my attitudes that have helped me to be a less anxious person since the work we did, and I’m very grateful for that!.”

The powerful imagery and insights she helped me to find in sessions have enabled me to navigate the darkest days and now provide ongoing support and stability. Quite simply transformational. THANK YOU. I am so grateful to have been able to work with you.”

Anxiety and Low Confidence
“I have to admit that I went to hypnotherapy with a degree of trepidation as I was unclear about how it would help me where other therapies had failed. However, my friend had recently had some sessions and I could see such a positive change in her, that I thought I’d give it a go. Siân was very open and easy to talk to and put me at my ease immediately.
What I liked about our sessions was the optimism Siân instilled in me from the beginning that I could overcome my issue which was a bit of a revelation! The way in which we worked together was very collaborative and practical, tailoring everything to me and my personality.
I had been sceptical about hypnotherapy but I found that slowly I started to see and feel discrete changes within me. I started to use the techniques we’d practiced in sessions in everyday life and felt more in control and positive about life for the first time. Siân was a great support, very professional, empathetic and her techniques were very effective. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
