About Sian
Sian Dyer is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who integrates somatic ideas with talking therapy. She draws on practical approaches to help people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, low in mood, or stuck in relationship patterns. Sian explains things plainly and works to make sessions feel grounded and manageable.
Her work pays attention to the body and the nervous system. She helps people notice how fight, flight, freeze or shutdown show up and shape everyday thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
From there she offers simple tools for emotional regulation and ways to respond to stress with more calm and clarity. Sian blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, client-centred listening, and attachment-based thinking in her sessions. This combination lets her focus on thoughts and behaviours while also exploring early relationship patterns and present emotional needs.
She aims to tailor the work to each person rather than following a fixed script. She brings five years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That membership is shown as BACP on her profile.
Sian works with individual adults and with couples who want to improve communication and connection. In practical terms, sessions look at how past experiences influence current reactions, teach grounding and regulation techniques, and support clearer boundaries and self-worth. She encourages a steady pace so change feels achievable rather than overwhelming.
How somatic and talking therapies work online
Somatic-informed work looks at how the body and nervous system show up in stress and emotion. Online sessions can include simple body-awareness exercises, breathing and grounding techniques to help people notice and shift physical responses to anxiety and overwhelm.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small, practical steps. It helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that matter to them, which suits issues like anxiety, depression and life transitions.
Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. This can help people understand recurring problems in relationships and build clearer boundaries and safer ways of relating.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, keep momentum between meetings, and access support from different locations while working with registered or accredited professionals and therapists.
