About Sian
Sian Dyer is a counsellor who combines practical talking therapy with an emphasis on how the body and nervous system affect mood and behaviour. She uses clear, down-to-earth language to help people make sense of anxiety, stress, low mood and feeling stuck. Sian’s way of working aims to be steady, personal and focused on real-life change.
Sian draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-informed listening, acceptance and commitment principles, and emotion regulation strategies.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how fight, flight, freeze or shutdown responses shape thoughts and relationships. That focus helps people learn to notice patterns and respond differently to difficult feelings. Sessions look at practical skills for emotional regulation alongside understanding past experiences that influence current behaviour.
Sian supports work on self-esteem, boundaries, coping with loss, and managing addictive or compulsive patterns. She also addresses sleep and eating concerns, anger, career stress, and the challenges of major life changes. With five years’ experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Sian works with adults across a broad range of issues including depression.
She offers therapy in English to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to match different needs and routines. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session at a convenient time.
Sian aims to help people build more steady emotional balance and clearer ways of managing everyday pressures.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sian will discuss your goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process means you can try practical skills, reflective work or a mix, and adjust as you learn what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls are useful when visual contact helps the conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options offer flexibility for work breaks, travel, or different communication needs while keeping the therapeutic focus on what will help you make steady progress.
