About Lorraine
Lorraine Dyer is a counsellor registered with the BACP who focuses on helping people manage common mental health struggles. She works with issues such as depression, anxiety, stress and low self-esteem, and she also supports people facing relationship worries, grief and eating or body image concerns.
She has four years of practice experience and uses a person-centred approach that keeps the person's own goals at the heart of sessions. Lorraine aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what they need to say and begin to make practical changes.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses mindfulness techniques to build moment-to-moment coping skills and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences can affect current feelings. People come to Lorraine for help with life transitions, career stress, sleep problems, anger or addictive behaviours.
She also works with matters such as loneliness, guilt and shame, and the emotional impact of major life events. Sessions focus on clear, realistic steps that fit everyday life. Lorraine listens closely, reflects back what she hears and helps people try out different ways of managing difficulties.
The emphasis is on practical change and finding what genuinely helps each person move forward.

How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship, letting the person set the priorities for what to work on. This helps when someone is unsure where to start or needs support to clarify their goals.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep issues.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage overwhelming feelings. It can be used alongside other techniques to improve coping in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lorraine will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on their needs, goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to attend appointments around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a brief conversation is needed. Talk with the therapist about what will fit into your routine and what practical arrangements suit you best.
