About Sian
Sian Dyer is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults and couples facing anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, addiction and emotional overwhelm. Her work also covers self-esteem, grief, codependency and other concerns that can leave someone feeling stuck or disconnected.
Sian uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-based thinking and client-centred listening. She pays attention to how the nervous system reacts in stress - fight, flight, freeze or shutdown - and talks through practical ways to regulate those responses. Sessions often include noticing the links between body, thoughts and behaviour.
She offers focused support around boundaries, saying no, and shifting people-pleasing patterns. That includes helping people recognise the roots of their responses, and trying out different ways of responding in day-to-day life. Sian also works with intimacy-related issues and relationship patterns that affect how someone shows up with others.
Her background includes personal experience of struggling with anxiety and self-criticism, which she says informs her approach to emotional regulation and self-trust. She brings that perspective while keeping sessions straightforward and grounded. Practical skills are taught alongside reflection on past experiences and attachment patterns.
For someone juggling work, caregiving or the demands of a relationship, Sian focuses on building steadier emotional responses and clearer self-worth. To begin, readers are asked to use the online matching steps to book an initial session and consider which practical goals matter most.
How sessions work
How Sian’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and committing to actions that matter. It can help with anxiety, low mood and people-pleasing by clarifying values and small, practical steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and supports building steadier emotional responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sian will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. She combines practical skills with understanding past patterns, and checks in regularly to adapt the approach as progress is made.
The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or busy days, and can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without needing to travel. Some approaches lend themselves to practical exercises that are easy to do in an online session, such as breathing and grounding techniques or behavioural experiments for setting boundaries. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to support steady progress while helping clients apply skills in their everyday life.
