About Cyndi
Cyndi Dyke is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, and OCD. Cyndi also lists support for stress, grief, addictions, parenting concerns and ADHD among her areas of focus.
She describes an approach that listens first and helps people build on their own strengths. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviours, and then try practical steps to make small changes. Cyndi draws on Client-Centred ideas, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work.
Her background includes direct counselling with adults, children and adolescents across a range of difficulties. The biography notes experience with family problems, attachment issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, career questions and intimacy-related concerns. She also offers faith-based Christian counselling where clients want to combine scripture with psychological work.
In sessions she says she challenges unhealthy beliefs and supports people to replace them with healthier ways of thinking and behaving. That can include setting goals, practising different responses and reflecting on patterns that keep problems going. The emphasis in early adulthood often falls on transitions - leaving home, study, first jobs, money and relationship pressures.
People choosing to work with Cyndi will follow a practical, conversational style of counselling. She encourages clients to be active in the process and to try specific strategies between sessions.

How her approaches are used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It aims to make space for the client to lead the conversation and identify their own solutions, which can help with relationship issues and low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits, often useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear goals and small, achievable steps. It is forward-looking and can be helpful when someone wants brief, focused work on specific problems like career decisions or relationship skills.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits a client's needs, goals and preferences, and adapt methods as progress is tracked.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm the current session formats and scheduling options before booking so you know what will work with study, work or other commitments. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and try strategies between meetings.
