About Sian Dyer
Sian Dyer is an integrative psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who works with adults and couples facing a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She supports people dealing with anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem, and a sense of disconnection or being stuck. Her practice blends cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives, and polyvagal-informed techniques to offer care that is individualized, grounded, and practical.
Sian places particular emphasis on emotional regulation and helping people understand their nervous system - why someone might move into fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown and how these patterns shape thoughts, feelings, and relationships. By making sense of what is happening inside, she helps people respond to life with greater clarity, calm, and self-trust rather than impulsive reaction.
Sian’s own experience of struggling with anxiety and self-criticism shaped her commitment to therapy. Having benefited from therapeutic work herself, she brings personal insight into the process of change and recovery and uses that perspective to empathise with those who feel overwhelmed or uncertain. She aims to support clients in developing self-compassion, clearer boundaries, and a stronger sense of self-worth at a pace that feels manageable.
In addition to individual work, Sian offers couples therapy focused on improving communication, rebuilding connection, and identifying recurring patterns. Her approach helps partners recognise emotional responses, attachment needs, and nervous system reactions so they can move from blame toward understanding and teamwork. Sian is a BACP registered practitioner - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and she welcomes people seeking practical, empathetic support to navigate life’s challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters most to them and to take values-guided action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often helpful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and when someone wants to build a more meaningful, values-driven life.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and significant relationships shape current patterns in emotions and relationships, helping individuals and couples understand attachment needs and develop more secure ways of relating. This approach can be useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and patterns of disconnection.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is explored collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible access to registered professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments, and allow ongoing support when in-person sessions are not possible. The practical convenience of scheduling and varied communication styles can help people maintain consistency in their therapeutic work and keep momentum between sessions.
