About Sian
Sian Dyer is a psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and offers practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling anxious, stressed, low in mood, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Sian also works with relationship difficulties, issues around self‑esteem, and concerns related to sleep and parenting.
Her way of working draws on cognitive behavioural ideas, humanistic listening, and psychodynamic thinking blended with an awareness of the nervous system. Sessions focus on simple, clear steps to help manage strong emotions and to notice how thoughts, body responses and behaviours interact. Sian explains how fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown responses show up and offers strategies to respond differently.
She uses emotional regulation skills and practical exercises to build steadier moods and more consistent self‑trust. Therapy looks at attachment patterns and how past experiences shape current relationships. For couples, the work centres on improving communication and recognising each partner's emotional needs.
Sian shares from her own journey of learning to manage anxiety and build self‑compassion, which informs a warm, understanding style. Sessions aim to move at a manageable pace so people can try new ways of responding without feeling overwhelmed.
If you are dealing with grief, addiction, sleep problems, ADHD, or career pressures, Sian offers a collaborative space to talk through what matters and plan realistic steps forward.
How these approaches can work online
Sian draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment‑based approaches in her work. Cognitive behavioural therapy, CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to change mood and sleep patterns. Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people build clearer emotional connections in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, needs and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative planning means techniques can be adapted if something isn’t helping.
Check the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, and it can reduce time spent getting to appointments. It also allows use of breathing exercises, worksheets and short check‑ins between meetings to reinforce what was covered in sessions without requiring extra travel.
