About Sian
Sian Dyer offers a compassionate, practical approach grounded in several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-Based work and a client-centred stance to help people find clearer ways to cope. Sian holds BACP accreditation and brings five years of practice in the United Kingdom.
Her style is direct but warm, aiming to make small changes that feel achievable in day-to-day life. Sian often focuses on emotional regulation and helping people understand their nervous system.
Background and approach
She explains why someone might move into fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown and offers simple strategies to respond differently. Sessions look at how thoughts, body responses and past experiences link together, so people can build more calm and self-trust. Common concerns she helps with include anxiety, stress, low mood, grief, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related difficulties.
She also works with issues such as ADHD, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, compassion fatigue and major life transitions. Sian applies these approaches flexibly to meet each person’s needs. Her background includes work with attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and some personality-related concerns.
Sian brings lived experience of recovery into her practice, which she says informs her empathetic, non-judgemental way of working. Sessions are available in English and can be arranged for clients in the United Kingdom or internationally. People can expect practical tools alongside reflective conversation to help them make steady, meaningful changes.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest which methods might fit best. That choice is made together and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and routines. Video calls are useful for face-to-face connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments or travel while keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
