About Sian
Sian Dyer is a counsellor and psychotherapist who blends practical talking therapy with attention to the body and nervous system. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, stress or difficulties with self‑esteem. Sian also supports people facing bereavement, addiction, long‑term health challenges and changes in life circumstances.
Her way of working brings together cognitive behavioural ideas, person‑centred listening and attachment‑focused thinking. She often links thoughts and feelings to the nervous system, helping people notice how fight, flight, freeze or shutdown shape their responses. Sessions aim to build emotional regulation skills and clearer ways to cope when distress rises.
Sian shares that her own experience of anxiety and healing informs her practice. That background makes her comfortable talking about doubt, shame and the small steps that lead to change. She aims to help clients develop self‑compassion, steadier moods and a clearer sense of direction.
In practical terms, work with her explores personal triggers, patterns from earlier relationships, boundaries and everyday strategies for managing stress. Couples can also look at communication patterns, how attachment needs show up, and ways to rebuild connection. The focus is always on what feels manageable for the person or couple in the room.
Sian is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. If the description resonates, clients are invited to begin via the site's Start Therapy process.

How Sian's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what really matters to them. It focuses on values and small actions that build a more meaningful life and can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with long‑term health challenges. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now; it helps people understand closeness, boundaries and emotional triggers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, explores links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they will try approaches and adjust them if needed so therapy fits the person's needs and pace.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check‑ins during a lunch break. It also lets people work from different time zones when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists using these approaches, can adapt tools and exercises for remote sessions so practical skills and emotional understanding continue to develop.
