About Sian
Sian Dyer is a BACP counsellor who offers a warm, person-centred way of working. She focuses on helping adults and couples who feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck. Her style aims to be practical and grounded, so people leave sessions with clearer steps they can try between meetings.
Her work brings together cognitive behavioural ideas with humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives. Sian pays close attention to how the nervous system affects feelings and behaviour, and she uses that understanding to help people calm intense reactions.
Background and approach
This often means learning simple emotional regulation skills and noticing patterns that keep difficulties going. Sian draws on attachment-based thinking to explore how past relationships still shape current ones. That helps when people want to improve self-worth, set boundaries, or rebuild connection with a partner.
She also offers focused support around stress, addiction, grief, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy concerns, including LGBT-related matters. Practical work in sessions may include noticing thoughts and behaviours, trying small experiments, and developing new ways to cope with triggers. Couples sessions look at patterns of interaction and help partners understand each other’s emotional responses.
Her aim is steady progress at a pace that feels manageable. Sian speaks English and works from the United Kingdom. She accepts international clients and has five years of experience.

How Sian’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when anxiety, avoidance or feeling stuck get in the way of living the life someone wants. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change how they relate to others, which can support both individual and couples work.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try approaches and adjust them as needed. That means sessions can shift over time to better match a person’s needs.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time, which can make regular work easier to sustain. Online work can also allow for shorter check-ins when days are busy or for meetings that suit different time zones, since international clients are accepted. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking so arrangements match individual needs.
