About Lorraine
Lorraine Dyer is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She brings four years of practice helping people who feel overwhelmed by low mood, anxiety, stress and major life changes. Lorraine focuses on listening and creating a calm space where a person can talk about what is most worrying them.
She has worked with people facing bereavement, relationship strain, eating and body-image concerns, and difficulties with self-esteem and motivation. Sleeping problems and anger are also areas she often addresses in sessions. Lorraine uses straightforward language and aims to make sessions feel practical and manageable.
Her approach blends listening with evidence-informed techniques. Sessions may include gentle reflection on how past experiences affect the present, alongside steps to modify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness ideas are used to help people notice their thinking and bodily responses without judgement.
Clients can expect a warm, person-centred style that prioritises their goals and pace. Lorraine encourages small, realistic changes and helps people find ways to cope with everyday pressures. She works collaboratively so that each plan fits the person she is supporting.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Lorraine aims to make it easier by offering a steady, non-judgemental presence. She invites people to start with what feels possible and build from there.
Approaches you can use in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and working at a person's pace; it helps people clarify what matters to them and build confidence to make changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviour interact and offers practical steps to reduce anxiety, improve mood and tackle sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness techniques to notice stress and bodily reactions, which can help with anxiety, mood and sleeping difficulties.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will choose methods that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel and can reduce time spent commuting. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that use audio only if video is difficult. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt pace and tools to suit everyday life while working through stress, sleep problems and other concerns.
