About Lorraine
Lorraine Dyer is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and related concerns. Lorraine helps people talk through life changes, relationship strain, eating and self-esteem issues in straightforward, practical sessions.
She uses a person-centred approach, which means sessions are driven by what the client brings rather than a fixed agenda. Clients are invited to describe what is most pressing, and Lorraine listens for patterns and priorities to focus on. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help with thinking patterns and mindfulness techniques to manage moment-to-moment reactivity.
In sessions Lorraine uses plain language and short, practical exercises. Conversations may include looking at how thoughts affect mood, practising grounding or breathing tools, and noticing repeated patterns that keep problems in place. The work aims to reduce reactive responses and support calmer decision making rather than promising quick fixes.
She also offers psychodynamic-informed conversations for people who want to explore deeper patterns from past relationships and life events. That work is slower paced and looks at how earlier experiences shape current reactions and feelings.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the service's booking steps. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online options button.
How sessions work
How Lorraine uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It helps when someone wants space to speak freely about what feels urgent, including anger and relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses short practical exercises to reduce reactive responses and manage stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will discuss goals and preferences with each client and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and may shift over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. If a client prefers breathing or grounding exercises, those can be practised together during a session, or cognitive techniques can be set as short between-session tasks to apply during the week.
