Sian Dyer, BACP

Sian Dyer is a counsellor who blends practical talking therapy with an understanding of how the body responds to stress. She uses a mix of approaches to help adults and couples who feel stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Sian explains things plainly and works at a pace that feels manageable for each person.

Her background includes five years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thought patterns and on client-centred ways of working to keep sessions grounded in your priorities. Attachment-focused ideas help bring clarity to recurring relationship patterns.

Sian pays close attention to the nervous system and emotional regulation. She helps people notice fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown responses and develop simple ways to feel steadier. Sessions often include practical strategies you can use between meetings to manage stress, sleep, appetite and mood.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with chronic pain, chronic illness, and the emotional impacts of ageing.

Sian works collaboratively and helps people set clear, achievable goals. She encourages self-compassion and gradual change rather than quick fixes. Her style is down-to-earth, focused, and responsive to the realities of daily life.

How Sian’s approaches translate to online therapy

Sian uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that match your values. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns shape current responses and help people build clearer ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and together you will try methods that fit. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time if something isn’t working well for you.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets you practise regulation strategies between meetings and review work together during sessions so therapy links directly to everyday life.
