Sian Dyer, BACP

Counsellor and BACP member, with five years' practice helping people with anxiety, stress, low mood and relationship difficulties. Sian Dyer works in the United Kingdom and supports adults and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected.

Sian describes an integrative way of working. She blends cognitive behavioural ideas with humanistic and psychodynamic thinking. She also brings in understanding of the nervous system to explain fight, flight, freeze and shutdown reactions. Sessions focus on recognising patterns that maintain worry and low self‑esteem.

In practical terms she talks through how thoughts, behaviour and the body interact. She offers emotional regulation techniques and helps people notice attachment patterns. That can make it easier to manage stress and respond differently in relationships.

Sian also works with couples who want clearer communication and less blame. She uses the same nervous‑system and attachment ideas to help partners recognise each other’s responses and build new ways of relating.

Her personal experience of struggling with anxiety and learning to regulate emotions informs her style. She aims to give clear explanations and step‑by‑step skills so people can begin to feel more confident and steady in daily life.

If you are thinking about counselling she asks for an initial match via the site to arrange a first session. The focus in early meetings is practical assessment and choosing approaches that fit the problem and the person.
