Sian Dyer, BACP

Sian Dyer is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping adults facing anxiety, stress, low mood and relationship strain. She uses clear, practical conversations to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life. Sian also supports people coping with trauma, addiction, grief, intimacy-related concerns and issues around identity and self-worth.

Sian describes her practice as person-centred and adaptable. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based ways of working to match each person’s needs. Sessions look at how thoughts, feelings and the body interact so people can begin to respond differently to stress.

A key focus is emotional regulation and understanding the nervous system. Sian helps people notice patterns such as fight, flight, freeze or shutdown, and learn small skills to feel more grounded. She also explores how early attachment experiences shape current relationships and boundaries.

Practical goals are set at a pace that feels manageable. Sian works through strategies for self-esteem, coping with life changes, and rebuilding connection after conflict or disconnection. She supports a wide range of issues including sexual intimacy concerns, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, and complex grief.

Her background includes five years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients follow the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule with her.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Sian uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical steps to change behaviours and mood, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleeping problems. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and boundaries, helping people improve communication and feel more secure in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking action that fits those values, useful for coping with life changes and stuckness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sian will talk through your needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that might suit you. You can expect a mixture of talking, practical strategies and experiments to try between sessions so the work fits your everyday life.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep therapy going when they move countries or have conflicting commitments. Registered and accredited professionals, including therapists, often adapt methods to work well in remote sessions so progress continues even when meeting online.
