Sian Dyer, BACP

Sian Dyer is a counsellor accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years' experience. She works with adults on problems such as anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, low self‑esteem and feeling disconnected or stuck. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, addiction and issues around identity and intimacy.

Sian combines cognitive behavioural ideas with attachment‑based and client‑centred ways of working. She pays attention to the nervous system and how fight, flight, freeze or shutdown responses shape feelings and behaviour. In sessions she explains these reactions in plain terms and looks at small changes that reduce overwhelm.

Work typically focuses on emotional regulation, strengthening boundaries and rebuilding self‑trust. Practical skills for managing anxiety and mood sit alongside reflection about past experiences and attachment patterns. She also offers help for couples wanting to improve communication and reduce repeated rows or blame cycles.

Sian encourages short, manageable steps that fit into a busy life. She uses conversations, simple exercises and grounded breathing or body‑based strategies to support change. The emphasis is on clarity and usable tools rather than dense theory.

People who come to her often want clearer emotional responses, steadier mood, and better ways to handle stress or relationship strain. For those needing help with grief, addiction, ADHD or career pressure, sessions aim to make problems easier to live with and more understandable.
