About Sian

Sian Dyer is a BACP-registered counsellor who blends evidence-informed talking therapies to help people regain balance. She works with adults and couples facing anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship strain, emotional overwhelm and low self-esteem. Her style is down-to-earth and practical, aiming to build clearer coping skills and steadier emotional responses.

Her work brings together Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Client-Centred principles and Attachment-Based ideas to shape sessions around each person. She pays close attention to how the nervous system reacts to stress - fight, flight, freeze or shutdown - and how those reactions affect thoughts and behaviour. That focus informs practical emotional regulation techniques used in session.

Sian draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ideas for building tolerance of strong feelings and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice values and take meaningful action. Sessions explore how past experiences and attachment patterns influence current relationships and self-view. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Working with Sian means learning tools for calmer reactions, clearer boundaries and stronger self-trust. She also offers couples work that focuses on recognising each partner's emotional responses and improving communication. The pace is collaborative and tailored to what feels safe for the individual or couple.

Sian has five years' clinical experience and practises from the United Kingdom. She speaks English and is open to international clients through the platform. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online therapy

Sian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches in her work. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and emotional responses, which can be useful for relationship difficulties and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Sian treats the choice of method as collaborative and will work with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adapts the approach as the work progresses.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose quieter times, avoid lengthy commutes and keep appointments during busy weeks. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists like Sian, often find online sessions useful for maintaining continuity of care while balancing work and family commitments.
