Sian is great her job. She helps me think outside the box.. She is emathatic, kind and very intelligent. I highly recommend her

Sian is a wonderful person who really seems to understand me. She challenges me gently when she notices I may be catering to a bad habit we've discovered, but never makes me feel guilty about it. When I need a clear head to weigh in on a problem I'm stuck on, she's right there to give a professional outside view. It didn't take long for her to learn what coping mechanisms I cling to that may actually be unhealthy for me. When I start to shrink back into these ways, she reminds me of the bigger picture and why I've decided I'm leaving those old ways behind. It does take repetition with me, and she's been so patient with me from day one.

Hello,

I’m Sian, an Integrative Psychotherapist based in the UK. I work with adults and couples who are navigating a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, low self‑esteem, and feeling disconnected or stuck. My approach combines CBT, Humanistic, and Psychodynamic Therapy, alongside Polyvagal‑informed practice, to support you in a way that feels personal, grounded, and tailored to your needs.

A core part of my work focuses on emotional regulation and helping you understand your nervous system, and why you might go into fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown, and how these responses shape your thoughts, feelings, and relationships. When we understand what’s happening inside us, we can begin to respond to life with more clarity, calm, and self‑trust.

My Story

I know how overwhelming it can feel to struggle with anxiety, self‑doubt, or emotional disconnection. In my own life, I faced challenges that deeply affected my emotional well‑being. For a long time, I felt stuck in patterns of worry, fear, and self‑criticism, unsure if things would ever change.

Seeking therapy was a turning point. It helped me understand my triggers, my nervous system, and the patterns that were keeping me stuck. Over time, I learned how to regulate my emotions, build self‑compassion, and reconnect with myself in a healthier way. This experience shaped the therapist I am today, someone who understands how hard it can be, but also how possible it is to heal, grow, and feel more in control of your life.

If any of this resonates with you, whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or disconnected, you’re not alone. I’m here to support you.

How I Work

In our sessions, we explore:

- how your nervous system responds to stress

- emotional regulation strategies that help you feel more grounded

- how past experiences and attachment patterns influence your present

- ways to build self‑esteem, self‑love, and healthier boundaries

- how to prioritise yourself without guilt

- how thoughts, behaviours, and the body interact

- how to create healthier responses to life’s challenges

My aim is to help you develop a stronger sense of self‑worth, emotional balance, and inner safety — at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.

Couples Therapy

I also work with couples who want to improve communication, rebuild connection, or understand recurring patterns in their relationship. My approach helps partners recognise each other’s emotional responses, attachment needs, and nervous system reactions, so they can move away from blame and towards understanding, empathy, and teamwork.

Together, we explore how to strengthen emotional safety, deepen connection, and create healthier relational habits.

A Space for You

Therapy is a place where you can explore your emotions, understand your patterns, and reconnect with yourself without judgment. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, low self‑esteem, or simply feeling lost, you don’t have to face it alone.

I look forward to hearing from you.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Sian is a great listener, and is able to provide me with the support I need, and helps me understand what's going on with me better by helping me get to these conclusions myself.

Sian really listens and gives advice. I’ve found other therapists dismissive and find them constantly giving exercises that don’t help. Sian is the first therapist I’ve wanted to stick with and move forward with. Highly recommend

Sian has been an incredible help to me, her communication is so gentle and patient I feel safe discussing my biggest shames and insecurities wich I never have with many other therapists

Reviewed November 2023

Sian Dyer is an extraordinary listener and provides a lot of options for communication. In my case she provided a much necessary helping hand that could relate to my issues and feelings without being judgmental. She truly cares about helping and this made me feel mor at ease. The advice and support she gives is really good and helpful. I highly recommend her.

Reviewed September 2023

Sian is understanding and helps me to understand my feelings. She gives me tools I can use in the future. She helps me link past traumas/events together, so I can understand why smaller events are so triggering. She goes deeper than any other counsellor/therapist I’ve had (& there’s been a few!), so I actually feel like we’re getting somewhere and doing some positive rebuilding. Thank you Sian!

We haven’t had a lot of time yet, but I’ve already noticed that she’s picking up on what kind of advice I respond well to. There are some things that I’m a bit stubborn about, and I think she’s already adjusting how she words things so that they’re easier for me to accept and process.
