Sian Dyer , BACP

Sian Dyer is a counsellor who blends practical therapy methods to help people manage anxiety, stress, low mood and relationship strain. She works with adults and couples and aims to make therapy straightforward and usable in everyday life. Sian uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-focused ideas and client-centred practice to shape sessions around each person's needs.

She pays particular attention to emotional regulation and how the nervous system influences reactions. Sian explains why people sometimes go into fight, flight, freeze or shutdown and helps them develop simple strategies to feel steadier. That work often includes noticing body signals, learning grounding skills and practicing small behaviour changes.

Sian draws on five years of practice and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her own experience of overcoming anxiety and low self-worth informs the way she supports people now. She aims to hold a calm, non-judgemental space where change happens at a manageable pace.

Sessions explore how past experiences and attachment patterns shape current relationships and self-view. People also work on setting boundaries, building self-esteem and improving communication with partners. Sian frames change as step-by-step work rather than sudden fixes.

Therapy can cover many concerns including trauma, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar and chronic illness. She also offers support around intimacy, LGBT issues, career strain and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered online in English for people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It focuses on small practical steps to live a more meaningful life and can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with change.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present relationships. It helps people understand attachment needs, improve emotional connection and change recurring interaction styles that cause pain.

Sian approaches online work collaboratively, helping clients find which approach fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt techniques across sessions so the process matches the person's pace and priorities.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving options for different situations. Video is good for more in-depth work and non-verbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These remote options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
