About Lorraine
Lorraine Dyer is a BACP-registered person-centred counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, eating and food-related concerns, grief, sleep problems and relationship strain. Lorraine also supports people facing major life changes, addiction concerns, mood difficulties and issues related to identity and LGBT matters.
Her style is straightforward and conversational. She listens without judgement and encourages people to talk through what is worrying them. Sessions are paced according to the person's needs, allowing space for practical coping ideas alongside personal reflection.
Lorraine draws on client-centred work to build trust and on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses mindfulness practices for grounding and psychodynamic ideas to consider longer-standing patterns when useful. These methods are offered alongside everyday skills for managing stress and mood.
People who are early in adulthood often bring concerns about career choices, study pressure, money worries, identity and feeling behind. Lorraine works with those themes and with related issues such as isolation, family problems and communication difficulties. She aims to help clients find clearer thinking and steadier routines that fit their life.
Sessions begin by identifying immediate goals and practical steps. Over time the focus can shift to understanding deeper patterns and long-term coping. Lorraine asks people to describe what they want to change and checks in regularly to adjust the approach.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental conversation so the client can decide what to explore and change. This approach helps with low mood, self-esteem and relationship worries.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build healthier routines. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and coping under pressure.
Mindfulness techniques are short exercises for grounding and reducing reactivity. These can help with stress, rumination and managing strong emotions in the moment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will listen to current concerns, goals and preferences, and suggest what to try first. That decision is revisited together as progress is reviewed, so the approach can change if needed.
