Lorraine Dyer, BACP

Lorraine Dyer practises as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and works from a person-centred perspective. She holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide her work with people facing depression, anxiety, stress and low self-esteem. Lorraine speaks plainly and tries to make the first steps into therapy less daunting for anyone who is unsure what to expect.

She spends time listening to what matters most to each person. That helps her to jointly set small, practical goals that can be worked on between sessions. Lorraine uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns that keep problems going and mindfulness techniques to build calmer daily routines.

Her background includes four years of experience supporting people through grief, eating and food-related issues, and relationship and family difficulties. She also helps people who are coping with major life changes, loss of motivation, or feelings of emptiness and isolation.

Sessions often focus on improving sleep, managing anger, and handling career-related stress. Lorraine also works with concerns around addiction, bipolar and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder by looking at coping strategies and stabilising routines. She pays attention to how past experiences affect current feelings and relationships.

People can expect open, non-judgemental conversation and practical next steps after each meeting. Lorraine offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs and schedules. Information on how to begin is available through the site’s Start Therapy process.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions; the counsellor listens closely and follows the client’s pace to help them feel heard and understood. This approach is useful for people wanting a supportive space to talk through feelings and decide what to work on.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and breaks them into manageable steps. It is practical for tackling anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful routines by trying new coping strategies between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and reactivity. These exercises can help with anger, rumination and improving everyday calm in small, repeatable ways.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try methods that feel like a good fit. Sessions can include talking, short exercises or practice tasks to try between meetings, and choices can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy or remote lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit regular work on wellbeing into a daily routine.
