Lorraine Dyer , BACP

Lorraine Dyer is a registered Person-Centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of experience and membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, low mood and sleeping difficulties, and she brings experience supporting those with eating and food-related issues, dissociation, grief and loss, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem and confidence.

Her practice also attends to relationship and family concerns, coping with life changes and unexpected transitions, addictions, bipolar and ADHD, and a broad range of mood and behavioural issues. Lorraine works with people facing isolation, midlife and career questions, body image concerns and the emotional fallout of divorce and infidelity, among other areas of difficulty.

In sessions she creates a nonjudgmental, person-focused space where thoughts and feelings can be explored at a pace that feels right for the individual. Drawing on client-centred principles alongside cognitive and mindfulness-informed tools when appropriate, she supports people to clarify goals, build coping strategies and explore underlying patterns that influence wellbeing. Lorraine aims to help people consider practical steps toward a more balanced and meaningful life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Lorraine works from a person-centred foundation that prioritizes the individual’s own goals and experiences - the therapist offers warmth, active listening and acceptance so people feel understood and can lead the pace and focus of work. This approach is helpful for those wanting space to explore personal values, relationships and life transitions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical, problem-focused approach that examines the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people build skills for managing anxiety, low mood, stress and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness-informed techniques are used alongside these methods to support present-moment awareness and coping with intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lorraine works with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus over time as required. Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support around work, family or life commitments, offering flexibility in how and when people engage with therapy. These options can help maintain continuity of care and make it more straightforward to fit therapeutic work into everyday life.
