About Sian Dyer
Sian Dyer is an integrative psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who works with adults and couples experiencing concerns such as anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem, and feeling stuck or disconnected. She is a BACP-credentialed therapist, which indicates membership in a UK professional body for counselling and psychotherapy, and she draws on an integrative blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), humanistic, and psychodynamic therapy, alongside polyvagal-informed practice, to create support that is grounded, personal, and responsive to each client’s needs.
A central focus of Sian’s work is emotional regulation and helping clients understand their nervous system responses to stress, including fight, flight, freeze, and shutdown. By making sense of how these patterns influence thoughts, feelings, and relationships, therapy can become a space to build clarity, steadiness, and self-trust over time.
In sessions, Sian explores how stress shows up in the body and mind, how past experiences and attachment patterns can shape the present, and how thoughts, behaviors, and physical responses interact. She supports clients in developing practical strategies to feel more grounded, strengthen boundaries, and build self-esteem and self-compassion, with an emphasis on moving at a manageable pace. Sian also offers couples therapy to help partners improve communication, rebuild connection, and better understand recurring relational patterns by shifting away from blame and toward empathy, teamwork, and healthier relational habits.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online sessions
Sian Dyer integrates several evidence-informed approaches that can work effectively in an online format. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing new responses, which can be especially helpful when anxiety, low mood, or stress are keeping life feeling smaller than it should.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while reconnecting with values and meaningful direction. It can be useful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in cycles of self-criticism and avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy adds a relational lens, exploring how earlier experiences may shape closeness, boundaries, and communication in current relationships, including work with couples who want to change repeating patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sian works collaboratively, checking what feels helpful and adjusting the pace and focus based on each client’s goals, preferences, and what is happening in day-to-day life.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support around work, family responsibilities, travel, or changes in routine.
