About Sian
Sian Dyer is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and stress. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to make sessions feel relevant and usable.
Sian holds BACP accreditation which reflects her professional standing with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her style is down-to-earth and focused on helping people understand how their nervous system affects feelings and behaviour.
Background and approach
Sessions often include work on emotional regulation and learning how fight, flight, freeze or shutdown responses shape daily life. That understanding is used to develop simple strategies for clearer thinking and calmer responses. Sian also concentrates on relationship and intimacy-related issues.
She supports people exploring how attachment patterns from the past influence current relationships. Conversations cover communication habits, setting boundaries, and rebuilding connection in ways that feel manageable. She offers help with a wide range of concerns including stress, addictions, trauma, grief, self-esteem, eating and sleeping difficulties, career pressures, bipolar and depression, and ADHD.
Additional focus areas include body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues linked to adoption and abandonment. With five years of clinical experience, Sian aims to tailor sessions to each person. Therapy is collaborative and paced to the client’s needs, with a focus on building self-trust, emotional balance, and practical coping skills.
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thought patterns and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance and feeling stuck in daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful cycles; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional reactions, which can help when intimacy, trust or repeated relationship problems are a concern.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to find methods that suit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining techniques or trying a different focus as sessions progress so the plan stays relevant to what the client wants to change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for in-depth work that benefits from seeing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text messaging suit those who prefer typed reflection or want support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the therapeutic focus intact.
