About Sian

Sian Dyer is a counsellor who blends practical talking therapy with attention to the nervous system. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas alongside humanistic and psychodynamic ways of working to tailor support around each person's needs.

Her work focuses on emotion regulation and understanding why the body reacts with fight, flight, freeze or shutdown. Sian helps people recognise how those reactions shape thoughts, feelings and relationships. She aims to make emotional responses clearer and easier to manage in daily life.

Sian understands what it feels like to be stuck in worry, self‑criticism and disconnection. Personal experience of finding therapy helpful informs how she supports others. She encourages small steps that build self‑compassion and practical coping skills.

In sessions she explores how past experiences and attachment patterns affect present behaviour. She offers strategies for grounding, regulating emotion and building healthier boundaries. Work is paced to match what someone feels able to manage.

Sian also offers couples work focused on improving communication and rebuilding connection. With partners she looks at emotional responses and attachment needs so conversations become more about understanding than blame.

Based in the United Kingdom, Sian brings five years of practice experience and holds BACP registration. She welcomes enquiries from people who want to better understand their patterns and find clearer ways of coping.

Step 3

Therapeutic approaches for online support and emotional regulation

Sian uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment‑Based ideas as part of her approach. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them and can be useful for anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck. Attachment‑Based work looks at how early relational patterns affect current responses and can help with relationship difficulties and emotional safety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sian will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit someone’s needs, goals and preferences. She adapts practical tools and pacing so the work feels manageable and relevant to everyday life.

The therapist biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm which session types are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, care responsibilities or travel by removing the need to commute. It also lets people use quieter surroundings, have a shorter check‑in when needed, or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage more comfortably.
