About Sian
Sian Dyer is a counsellor who blends practical therapy approaches to help people manage anxiety, stress, low mood and relationship strain. She uses a mix of cognitive and humanistic ideas alongside attachment-focused work to make sessions feel personal and down-to-earth. Sian presents herself as approachable and aims to help people feel less stuck and more able to cope with life’s demands.
She explains how the nervous system shapes reactions like fight, flight, freeze or shutdown.
Background and approach
Understanding these responses is a first step she offers for calming strong emotions and improving daily functioning. Sessions include straightforward techniques for emotional regulation and ways to notice how thoughts and body sensations interact. Sian draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to support people in changing unhelpful patterns.
She also uses Attachment-Based and client-centred ideas to focus on relationships and self-worth. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are used when practical stability and emotion management are needed. Her working style is collaborative and paced to individual needs.
She aims to help people build self-compassion, clearer boundaries and more reliable ways of coping. Conversations are practical and focused on small, achievable changes. Sian has five years of professional experience and is aligned with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She offers sessions in English and can work with people based in the United Kingdom and internationally via online formats.

How therapy approaches work online
Sian commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and then commit to actions that match their values to build a more meaningful life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people understand and change those patterns to feel more connected.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try different ways of working together. This is a collaborative process where techniques are chosen to match what you need right now and what you want to achieve over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let you work face to face when you can, phone sessions can be easier when video is difficult, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping the focus on useful, practical steps.
