About Sian
Sian Dyer is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other human-centred approaches. She helps adults and couples who feel stuck by focusing on emotions, nervous system responses, and patterns that keep people repeating the same struggles. Her manner is down-to-earth and geared toward practical change over time.
Sian often starts by helping clients notice how their bodies respond to stress and anxious thoughts.
Background and approach
She explains fight, flight, freeze and shutdown in simple terms and offers strategies to calm those responses. This makes it easier to think clearly and make different choices in relationships and daily life. Her sessions look at how past attachments and early experiences shape present behaviour.
Conversations include ways to boost self-esteem, set boundaries, and respond to triggers with more self-compassion. Sian also supports people working through grief, trauma, addiction, mood shifts, and those managing long-term health or caregiving challenges. Clients can expect practical tools from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-based ideas.
Work is paced to suit each person and aims to build steadier emotional regulation and clearer self-understanding. Sian has five years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people inside and outside the UK.

Approaches that focus on feelings and action
Sian draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name, sit with, and change painful emotion cycles in relationships and within themselves. EFT is useful when patterns of disconnection, repeating arguments, or intense emotional reactions are a central problem.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take value-driven action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions where avoidance has taken hold.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Sian will listen to your goals and try different ways of working to see what fits best. This is a collaborative process that aims to match techniques to your needs and pace so you can build emotional balance and better responses to stress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and body-language cues, phone sessions can fit a short break from work, and messaging or live chat can be useful for stepped check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity across busy weeks, long commutes, or different time zones.
