Allison Dyer, BACP

Allison Dyer is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those working on self-esteem, confidence and motivation.

Allison believes each person knows their own story best. She works from a client-centred approach that invites people to lead the pace and focus of sessions. The therapist aims to build on existing strengths rather than impose solutions.

Her work often involves short-term goal setting and practical coping strategies. Sessions may include talking through immediate worries, testing small changes, and noticing what helps day to day. Allison pays attention to how life changes, role demands and health concerns can affect mood and motivation.

People bring varied issues to her practice, including caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, communication problems and family of origin concerns. She also addresses isolation, difficulties with life purpose, and gender-related pressures for men and women.

Allison offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, prospective clients select the Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How client-centred therapy works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what the person brings. The therapist offers empathy, reflection and gentle prompts so people can find their own insights. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, self-worth and life transitions where someone needs space to make sense of things.

Allison will treat finding the right way of working as a shared task. She will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they review what is working and adjust the approach as needed rather than sticking to one set plan.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation for deeper connection. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family and health demands.
