About Lorraine
Lorraine Dyer is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has four years of practice supporting people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or life changes. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and understandable.
Her approach starts with listening. Lorraine uses person-centred work to help people say what matters to them and to feel heard.
Background and approach
She blends this with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot patterns and try new ways of coping. Mindfulness practices are introduced when helpful, to slow racing thoughts and improve day-to-day focus. Elements of psychodynamic thinking can also be used to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions.
Lorraine adapts her style to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. She has supported people through grief, relationship and family tensions, eating and body-image concerns, and issues with sleep, anger and motivation. Other areas she commonly helps with include addictions, bipolar mood swings, ADHD-related struggles, and questions about identity and life purpose.
Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Lorraine explains how therapy works, helps set realistic goals, and supports practical steps between meetings. The aim is to build skills that make daily life easier and more manageable.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Lorraine blends person-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy in online work. Person-centred counselling means the session is led by what the person wants to talk about, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and support. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on practical ways to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood.These methods are chosen to meet each person's needs. Lorraine will discuss goals and preferences, and then suggest approaches that might help. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows a written back-and-forth, and text messaging suits quick check-ins or short reflections between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
