Sian Dyer, BACP

Sian Dyer is a counsellor who combines practical therapy approaches to help people find steadier footing during hard times. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and attachment ideas to offer clear, down-to-earth support.

Sian focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress and low mood. She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, addictive behaviours, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, and challenges with self-esteem and intimacy. Her work includes attention to issues around identity and relationships as well as career and life changes.

Sessions often look at how the nervous system shapes feelings and reactions. Sian explains why people move into fight, flight, freeze or shutdown and teaches simple regulation techniques. She uses straightforward exercises and conversations so clients can try things between sessions.

Sian brings five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She works with adults on a wide range of concerns and includes extra focus areas such as attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care, neurodiversity, chronic health challenges, caregiver stress and body image.

Therapy is paced to each person. Sian aims to build practical coping skills while also helping people understand the origins of their patterns. Her style is warm, direct and collaborative, with an emphasis on small changes that add up over time.

Sessions are available across the United Kingdom and to international clients in English. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits their needs.

Therapy approaches you can try online

Sian commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working online. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifies what matters most so action can follow. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and replacing them with practical strategies that change how someone feels.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will choose which methods to try. That collaboration lets the plan change as you discover what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let you work face to face from different locations, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and travel, and make regular sessions more attainable.
