Lorraine Dyer

Lorraine Dyer is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works from a person-centred perspective. She holds BACP registration and brings four years of practice supporting people through common concerns such as depression, stress and anxiety. Lorraine also helps with eating and food-related issues, low self-esteem, grief and life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is troubling them. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and on small, practical steps they can try between sessions. Lorraine listens closely and responds in a straightforward, respectful way. Her background includes helping people cope with relationship strains, loss and periods of low motivation. She has experience with dissociation and a range of mood concerns, and she supports people facing unexpected changes or transitions in life. Lorraine pays attention to how body image and eating concerns affect everyday routines. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs. Lorraine draws on client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural and mindfulness techniques when these fit the person's goals. She may also consider psychodynamic ideas about past experience where it seems helpful. Taking the first step can feel difficult, and Lorraine aims to make the process clear and manageable. People who prefer a supportive, listening approach with practical tools often find this style helpful. To begin, follow the website steps to match and schedule a session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person's experience. The therapist aims to provide warmth, acceptance and understanding so people can say what matters to them and find their own solutions. This approach helps with low mood, grief and confidence issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and introduces small, practical experiments to try between sessions. It is often used for anxiety, stress and aspects of eating concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will discuss what feels most helpful during early sessions and tailor the mix of listening, practical tools and mindfulness to the person's goals. This is a collaborative process with regular check-ins about progress and adjustments. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats on the booking page before scheduling. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep regular appointments while managing daily responsibilities.
