About Sian

Sian Dyer is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She supports adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship strain, emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem and anger. She also offers work with intimacy and parenting concerns and with people managing life changes or addictive behaviours.

Sian uses a blend of familiar therapies including cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-based thinking and client-centred practice. She explains how the nervous system affects emotions and behaviour, and helps people notice why they may move into fight, flight, freeze or shutdown. That understanding is used alongside practical skills for emotional regulation.

Sessions include talking through patterns that keep problems repeating, and learning skills to respond differently in the moment. She works on building clearer boundaries, steadier moods and more reliable self‑trust. The focus is on small, manageable steps rather than sudden change.

Sian also offers work that looks at relational patterns between partners. She helps couples see how their attachment responses and nervous system reactions influence communication and connection, and how to move away from blame towards more constructive interaction.

How sessions work

How Sian uses evidence-based approaches online

Sian draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values to guide action; it can help when anger or avoidance gets in the way of what matters. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions to spot patterns and practise new responses; it is practical for anxiety, low mood and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may shift as practical skills are tried and reflected on.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a shorter session is needed. Registered or accredited therapists can use online meetings to teach emotional regulation strategies, practise CBT exercises and support attachment-focused work without requiring travel.
