About Sian
Sian Dyer is a counsellor who blends practical talking therapy with an understanding of how the body reacts to stress. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based ideas and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) principles to help people manage anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. Sian holds BACP registration, which she includes on her profile, and has five years' experience working with adults and couples.
Her sessions focus on how the nervous system shapes emotions and behaviour. She helps people notice patterns such as fight, flight, freeze or shutdown and learn simple steps to feel steadier. Work often includes gentle skills for emotional regulation and practical changes to everyday thinking and behaviour.
Sian draws on personal experience of recovery from anxiety and self‑criticism. That history influences how she meets people - with patience and a focus on building self‑compassion. She aims to make sessions feel grounded and manageable rather than overwhelming.
In couple sessions she supports partners to name recurring patterns and to see how each person’s emotional responses affect the relationship. The emphasis is on clearer communication, reducing blame and developing routines that support connection.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. Sian helps people set achievable steps, work on boundaries, and rebuild confidence. If someone is coping with grief, addiction, career change or neurodiversity-related challenges, she offers tailored practical strategies alongside emotional processing.

How practical approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches straightforward skills to change patterns that keep problems going. That can help with anxiety, sleeping problems and low self‑esteem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan over time if something isn’t working.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check‑in during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera if that feels difficult. It also supports continuity when circumstances change, while keeping the focus on practical skills, nervous system awareness and steps you can try between sessions.
