About me

Are you ready to stop overthinking, feeling stuck, or living life on autopilot?

To feel calmer, clearer, and more connected — to yourself, your emotions, and the people around you? 🌿

For over 13 years, I’ve supported clients to find clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of direction. My own life changed when I learned how to shift my beliefs, and it’s now my passion to help others do the same.

I’m a Relationship Coach, Mentor, and Educator, and my work is centred around my signature framework — the Complete Connection Program, built on five key pillars:

💫 Emotional Connection – understanding and managing your emotions

💫 Self Connection – rediscovering who you truly are

💫 Relationship Connection – improving communication and boundaries

💫 Life Connection – aligning daily choices with your values

💫 Purpose Connection – reconnecting with meaning and fulfilment

Clients describe me as optimistic, energetic, and practical — with a good sense of humour that helps even the toughest conversations feel lighter and more human. Coaching with me is compassionate and down-to-earth; I’ll listen deeply, challenge kindly, and always celebrate your wins.

You can expect:

✨ Fresh perspectives so you can see opportunities where you once saw obstacles

✨ Practical, realistic steps that make change simple, not overwhelming

✨ Accountability, warmth, and encouragement

✨ A safe, confidential space to explore what’s really going on

With over 55 five-star Google reviews and hundreds of clients supported in Cheshire and beyond (via Zoom, phone, and in-person), I’m proud of the life-changing results clients have achieved — stronger confidence, healthier relationships, and above all, a calmer, more connected life.

I continue to invest in my own personal development, learning from some of the world’s most inspiring teachers and coaches — because I believe we can only take others as far as we’re willing to go ourselves.

If you’re ready to break old patterns, reconnect with yourself, and create lasting change, I’d love to hear from you.

Testimonials

February 2026

I’ve been working with Siân for around 16 months now, through some real highs and some pretty tough lows, and she’s been an absolute constant throughout.

When I first started, I was very much the stereotypical bloke who didn’t really talk about feelings, let alone know how to process them properly. That’s changed completely. I’m now able to talk openly, understand what’s actually going on for me, and deal with things in a much healthier, more constructive way.

The sessions are always really well structured. I never come away feeling like it’s just been a talking shop, I leave with clarity, a sense of direction, and a practical plan I can actually act on.
Most importantly, Siân genuinely cares. You can feel it in how she shows up every session. Absolute superstar.
It also never feels like a cost, it genuinely feels like an investment in myself.

From my first session, Siân put me instantly at ease with her kindness and down to earth approach.After only a couple of sessions, Siân helped me to start to make important mindset changes and develop a bank of tools to help to build my confidence both in my professional and personal life.

I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Siân and can’t recommend her highly enough.

GB- Leek, Staffordshire

Working with Sian has been truly life-changing. At a time when I felt completely overwhelmed and disconnected from my goals, Sian listened with so much compassion and understanding. She created a safe space where I felt heard, supported, and never judged. Not only did she help me gain clarity and realign with what truly matters to me, but she also went above and beyond by regularly sending me relevant podcasts and resources that deepened our work and kept me motivated between sessions. I’m so grateful for her guidance and would recommend her to anyone looking for meaningful support and direction.

HL - Eccles, Greater Manchester

                                _______________________________

Simply put, Siân makes such a difference. She enriches my life by equipping me in so many ways. I look forward to hearing her voice - & her astute listening ears and sum up notes are accurate and recommendations are spot-on! There's a reason I call her 'Shamazin Siân'!

HP - Derby

                               _______________________________

It’s hard to summarise in words the impact the time spent working with Sian has had on my life. I went it to the sessions with a very specific goal, but the work we have done together has rippled across every area of my life.

I’ve been able to unpick long held beliefs that I have held on to for a significant amount of time, improving my marriage, relationship with my children, friendships and how I feel about myself.

If you’re considering coaching sessions with Sian, I would say go for, you won’t regret it for a second! 

RJ - Wilmslow, Cheshire

                              _______________________________

I had the pleasure of working with Siân  for four months and she is such a warm hearted, compassionate woman who genuinely cares about her clients.

In the short time that I worked with  her, I overcame my anxiety in the workplace and made positive changes to my well-being. Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, I had to put my sessions on hold, but still Siân continues to send me podcast and also helped me with legal matters.

Siân is amazing and I would not hesitate to work with her again. I have  recommended her to friends. Thank you for all your kindness and support and I look forward to working with you in the near future.

MT - Stockport, Greater Manchester

                           _______________________________

I had never considered seeing a life coach before but I can honestly say it has been a brilliant experience working with Sian. She has been an incredible help to me in the sessions we have had.

Sian has taught me some brilliant tools to assist me in prioritising tasks, time management and longer term planning that can be used both in my professional and personal life.

Sian is a great listener, knowledgeable and down to earth and I would definitely recommend her for anyone considering life coaching. She also keeps in touch sending through some great podcast recommendations. Thanks Sian!

                                   ______________________________

I have been working with Siân for almost a year now, and every session is truly a treat. She creates a safe, non-judgmental space that allows me to navigate challenges openly, fostering both personal and professional growth. One of the most valuable outcomes of our time together has been my ability to advocate for my self-worth. I now have the confidence to stand by my values, even when they differ from others.

Siân’s accountability and insightful guidance, shaped by her own experiences, have been incredibly helpful. Her honest perspectives are always refreshing—even when it's not what I want to hear, it’s often exactly what I need. Every session is actionable, leaving me empowered to take the next step forward.

What truly sets Siân apart is her wisdom, humor, and approachability. She is down-to-earth and easy to connect with, making every session comfortable yet impactful.

DM - Sale, Greater Manchester 

                       _______________________________

It is such a privilege to work with Siân, she is truly amazing, her empathetic and kind nature makes every session feel safe and supportive.

She's a great listener who hones in on the core issues and provides thoughtful, actionable guidance. Her professionalism and extensive knowledge are evident in every conversation.

I feel empowered and more focused after each session, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate life coach!

SF- Cheshire

                                          _______________________________

Five stars ⭐️are simply not enough to express the value I would attribute to the positive contribution Siân has made to my life in only a few sessions.

I am naturally very reluctant to talk about myself with everyone but Siân, who made me feel instantly at ease.

Session by session I feel to be gaining an understanding for myself, an acceptance for how I have arrived where I am, clarity for what is now important, vision to what to aim for and who I can be.Her energy and positivity are infectious and I am thankful to have found her.

AF- Cheshire

                                    _______________________________

Before I met Siân , I wasn’t sure if coaching was for me or therapy would be better. However, I am so grateful I chose to go on my coaching journey with Siân. Over the last six months I’ve been fitter, healthier, happier, more confident, more relaxed. Ran the fastest 10 K I ever have, and the furthest distance I’ve ever ran. I’ve lost 10 kg in weight, stop drinking, going on trips I’ve always wanted to go on, and turned my relationship around. It could be said I got here on my own, but without a doubt Siân has been the catalyst for almost every change in my life since I’ve been with her, and is 100% worth every penny of the investment.

I love our sessions, there are perfect mix of light, funny and serious and deep, She challenges me and holds me to account while also feeling like someone I could be totally honest with and face no judgement. If you’re questioning whether to go with Siân , do it! You will thank yourself I have no doubt.

Sian is a fantastic coach and truly wonderful human being - a great listener, she is empathetic, personable, never judgemental and full of positive but compassionate advice. She’s helped me process experiences I felt overwhelmed by, improve my communication and turn my jumble of thoughts into clearer directions and choices.
I’d highly recommend her. Thank you Sian for what you do!

CH - Hale

                               _______________________________

I initially approached Sian to help me with some of my procrastination challenges. I found Sian vey easy to chat with and the sessions very helpful. Over the last 12 weeks Sian has helped me not only with procrastination but also in other areas of my life, especially around gratitude and being grateful for the things I already have.

Sian is friendly, approachable and no nonsense when it comes to advice, but first and foremost great at pushing a conversation where it needs to go.

I’d highly recommend working with Sian if you want to improve your mindset or work on your inner self.

LT- Cheshire

                                   _______________________________

Sian had been guiding me through what is a very difficult life decision that I need to make and her coaching has been incredibly helpful. Sian challenges my thoughts and helps me to break down limiting beliefs, see the good in my life and be grateful for what I have. I now realise how powerful gratitude and practicing gratitude really is in my journey to finding fullfillment. Sian is very professional in her Coaching but also very warm, outgoing and real! We don't sugar coat stuff in our sessions, I love it.

Thank you, Sian xx

Siân is such a great person. From the very beginning we connected and I felt at ease sharing with her my thoughts and worries. I always feel like I’m speaking to a friend who has my back and encourages me to find and choose what’s best for me. She’s very approachable, kind and super easy to talk to. Siân will always make me laugh no matter how bad the day was. She’s passionate and cares about her clients. It’s definitely more than just a job for her. She supported me during difficult times and celebrated with me my wins.

Thanks Siân

Sian is an unbelievably talented coach. Unpacking aspects of your life to the root. If you are searching for clarity, purpose and fulfilment in a personal or professional manner - she is the coach for you. Her approach and experience ensures you will have nothing but in-depth, personable and supportive sessions. Follow up notes (so helpful for reflection), resources and communication throughout creates a really strong bond. I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. She’s unmatched, a true inspiration and I’m grateful to be working with someone I truly resonate with

JW -Derby

                                  _______________________________

It’s a lifetime bond that I have created with Sian. She puts in all the effort to get you rethinking in a different way. I have been doing this for 5 months and the significant change she has made to me in my life, has seen me change things in a monumental way. It’s not your standard sessions, there is more heart into her time for you. She makes the effort to understand you, to send you books to read or podcasts. She has the wisdom to navigate you to a better thought process. I have achieved a lot in this short period of time. The work she puts in and the experience of speaking to her, it’s an enlightenment for yourself. The realisation that life is not one dimensional. How she inspires you, it’s incredible. I couldn’t have done half of the work I have done, in this time without her. She has an exuberant personality and it’s calming speaking to her. She’s just awesome and its comfort knowing you have a session with her after a difficult time. It’s more than just the money aspect for her. She cares a lot about the people she speaks with. Once again thank you.

I started working with Sian in January 2023 with issues to my heavy drinking and what triggers it. Having previously been drinking over 100 units a week- within a couple this has been reduced to around 40units. Sian’s skill to identify and let me open up about my triggers has allowed me to carry on drinking without having to stop. Another huge bonus of working with Sian is that it helped me deal with issues to do with my sexuality and since working with her I have come to terms with this.

JB- Manchester

                                        _____________________________

I can’t recommend working with Sian enough! I honestly don’t know how she does it because her coaching was so personalised that it made me feel like I was her only client. As well as the weekly coaching sessions you get super detailed notes which I found really helpful with sticking to my goals and she sends podcasts and resources personalised to what you’re working on throughout the week. Sian is super supportive, she never made me feel like any goal was too big or small and is great with celebrating small wins to help keep you motivated. She was also super understanding of my LGBTQ+ identity and always made me feel comfortable! If you’re wanting to invest in setting good habits and working on your mental health Sian is the best person to help ❤️

CB- Manchester

                                          _____________________________

Working with Siân has been one of the best things I’ve ever done. She is an amazing coach, very personable a great listener and an expert and what she does. Mentally I was in a place that I hated and I have put up with for years before finally building myself up to speak to someone. From the Discovery Call to the first session and all the sessions after, Sian has always made me feel very comfortable in opening up about everything.

My previous mindset and outlook feels like a distant memory. The structure of the sessions, the follow-ups and all of the resources in between work very well. It was enjoyable throughout and extremely grateful that I met Sian.She’s made me feel empowered to live the life I want, reach my goals and most importantly, take control of all aspects of my life.

I now have complete clarity and feel sharp and focused and I’m back to my normal self. A paragraph I am living in the present and appreciating everything in life a lot more. Friends and family have noticed a huge difference in me. The coaching from Sian has been absolutely invaluable, I would 100% recommend her and couldn’t speak highly enough of her.

She is quite literally changed my life thank you Sian !

                                          _____________________________

Since June I’ve been working closely with Sian as my life/mindset coach. I haven’t once looked back. Before working with Sian I felt unmotivated, and short and anxious about a few areas of my life.I wanted to take a practical, forward thinking approach which would give me a new structure to my life and permanent change.

Siân now knows more than anyone about every aspect of my life…… And by the way I’m totally comfortable with that!! Lovely Sian has an incredible approach to the work she does. Each phone call we have lots of laughs and put in place practical things to work on over the next week. Sian has helped me unpack and deal with past emotions/grief and to put in place and healthy boundaries.

I can be true to myself and I’m enjoying adding new elements to my life I never thought I would! After just eight weeks I feel so much more content, relaxed and excited about whats to come, I only have Sian thanks for that.

I still have work I want to do but I’m genuinely so chuffed with what the process has given me. I wish others knew how valuable it can be! Sian , I’m incredibly grateful for the advice and guidance you give me so far I’m so looking forward to the next few months of progress. If you need structure, good boundaries and an understanding on how to be the most authentic and best version you can be, seriously look look no further!

PS just off to do my journalling!

                                         _____________________________

I was referred to Siân. In a bit of a mental fuzz and emotional pickle.
I have been though 15 years of therapy and medication. To have only been back to the start. I have PTSD and BPD. I have never felt so equip to deal with my brain and emotions since I have had my sessions with this gem.
I have to say the time I’ve spent with Sian has clarified so many things in my Fuzzy brain. The best recommendation I have ever had. Friends, family & loved ones which I have hurt with my behaviour have seen a drastic difference in myself. I am calm I can deal with things differently and I feel like myself again.
I had lost my love of life and this woman made me find it!!

After being told I was too complex to deal with from the NHS, I now know, I am pretty awesome and not to bad.
Please don’t all book at once!! She is my Siân. 

RD- Manchester
                                              _____________________________

I have been working with Siân for over three months and I cannot recommend her enough. Her coaching style is personable and she never makes you feel stupid for being concerned about certain events or things.

I contacted Sian on New Year’s Day 2022, which I had been dreading. I was very overwhelmed with everything around me and felt as though I was treading water; the worry surrounding the following months had reaching boiling point. This stress and anxiety had spilled into my personal life, affecting my relationships with friends, family and partner, as well as my work.

Through these three months, Siân has coached me to better understand the situations which carry worry and develop my resilience towards them. I have had compliments from the people closest to me about how I have developed as a person. Events which would have previously caused me to spiral are now controllable situations. I am able to sleep better and the quality of my work has improved dramatically. The little changes that were suggested by Siân have made a massive difference to my life.

Siân has taught me its normal to be stressed, it's normal to be nervous and its normal to feel overwhelmed, but how we handle and move forward from a trigger is what defines that moment and our emotions towards it. She has coached me so calmly through a very high-emotion few months, to the point where I question if they were as stressful as I thought they were.

Thank you for your continued support, Siân and I look forward to evolving more a person under your guidance!

Sian has been absolutely incredible. She has given me so much insight into my life and all the different ways the various areas of my life interplay and interact. She has provided me with practical tactics and strategies, coaching me through each one along the way. She coached me in person at Cheshire Wellness Centre.

Her write ups between sessions means I have a really comprehensive resource to refer back to you and her methodical approach insures that I’m able to make meaningful and measurable progress.

If you’re looking to take ownership over your life or are in need of some insight and strategies, and I couldn’t recommend Sian enough! Here is to a happier and more fulfilling journey in this wonderful world!
