About Sian
Sian Dyer is a counsellor who brings an existential outlook to therapy. She works with adults facing anxiety, stress, low mood and relationship struggles. Her style is direct and humane, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to make choices that matter to them.
Sian explains reactions in simple terms and helps clients understand how the nervous system can push someone into fight, flight, freeze or shutdown. That understanding is paired with practical skills for emotional regulation.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on recognising patterns, building self‑compassion, and finding ways to respond differently in daily life. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment work and cognitive approaches to support change. These methods are used flexibly to match what each person needs, whether that is managing panic, coping with grief, or addressing compulsive behaviours.
The therapist aims for a pace that feels manageable for the client. Sian has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
International clients can be seen when arrangements allow. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Sessions run as part of a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a simple questionnaire helps match people before scheduling.

Online support
How Sian uses different approaches in online therapy
Sian uses Existential therapy to help people face difficult life questions and find meaning when they feel stuck. This approach encourages honest exploration of values and choices, useful for people coping with life changes, grief or a sense of disconnection.She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. ACT is helpful for anxiety, depression and patterns that limit daily life. Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current interactions and emotional responses, which can help with relationship difficulties and trust issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sian will discuss options with the client and decide together what feels most helpful based on needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face to face conversation; phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited; chat or messaging can suit quick check‑ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats offer flexibility so therapy can continue around work, travel or other commitments.
