Lorraine Dyer

Lorraine Dyer is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, low mood and depression, and she also supports those facing eating and food-related difficulties. Lorraine has four years of practice and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward.

Her approach is warm and person-centred, focusing on what matters to each individual. Sessions give space to talk about relationships, grief, loss and family concerns without judgement. Lorraine also helps people who are coping with life changes, motivation difficulties, dissociation and issues around confidence and self-esteem.

She blends practical tools with reflective conversation. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used when patterns of thinking and behaviour are getting in the way. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with stress and emotional regulation. Psychodynamic perspectives are drawn on to look at longer term patterns that can affect mood and relationships.

Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to sort through feelings and choices. Lorraine describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals are agreed together. Her aim is to help people build skills for day-to-day life while also understanding deeper issues that may be driving distress.

Sessions take place in the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. Prospective clients are invited to use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor listening closely and following what the client brings. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and a chance to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying out different ways of responding; it is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and anger when patterns become clear.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lorraine will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a way forward together. The plan can change as trust grows and needs shift during therapy.

Practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions around daily life, cutting out travel time and making it easier to attend shorter check-ins. If you want to proceed, please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are arranged through the site. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make online sessions as effective as in-person work by keeping conversations focused and goal-orientated.
