About Sian
Sian Dyer is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She sees adults who are managing anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, low self‑esteem, and feelings of disconnection or being stuck.
Sian uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment‑based ideas, client‑centred work and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Sessions look at how thoughts, behaviours and the body interact, and at straightforward strategies to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
A central feature of her work is understanding the nervous system and emotional regulation. She explains why people move into fight, flight, freeze or shutdown states and helps them practise calmer responses. This includes simple skills to notice bodily signals and try different ways of reacting when stress rises.
She draws on life experience to normalise common responses to pain and loss. That background informs practical steps for building self‑esteem, improving boundaries and addressing intimacy or attachment patterns. The emphasis is on clear, doable actions rather than abstract theory.
Sian also offers work aimed at improving communication and reducing repeated relationship patterns. Sessions include learning to recognise emotional responses and developing healthier interaction habits. People leave with concrete tools to test between meetings and reflect on what helps in daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment‑based ideas. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasises noticing thoughts and values-based action rather than trying to eliminate feelings. Attachment‑based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connection styles affect present reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that may combine practical CBT techniques with emotion regulation and attachment awareness as needed.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a weekly routine, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or make it simpler to join from a quieter location. Registered or accredited professionals offer a range of approaches online and Sian will explain how her methods can be adapted to remote sessions when you begin the matching process.
