Lorraine Dyer, BACP

Lorraine Dyer is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP registered practitioner with four years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. Lorraine focuses on creating a calm space where clients can talk about what matters to them and begin to make practical changes.

Her sessions often address eating and body image concerns, sleep problems, addictions and issues around self-esteem and confidence. She also helps people cope with grief, separation and the bewildering emotions that can come with major transitions such as a midlife crisis. Conversations tend to centre on what is happening now and what the client wants to change.

Lorraine uses a person-centred approach alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness tools. She draws on psychodynamic ideas when past experiences are useful to understand present patterns. In practice this means listening first, then working together to try small, manageable ways of noticing and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Clients describe practical steps to try between appointments, simple mindfulness exercises and ways to spot negative thinking. Lorraine aims to help people regain a sense of direction and clearer choices when life feels stuck.

She asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. That process helps match needs and practicalities before arranging the first appointment.

How Lorraine’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist listens and reflects what matters to the client, helping them find their own answers. This approach is useful for people feeling stuck, low in confidence, or unsure about a major life change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple experiments and exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. That makes it practical for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and disruptive patterns around eating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will discuss goals and preferences, and together they decide which ideas to try first. That collaborative process can shift over time as needs change and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday and make it simpler to use mindfulness practice between meetings. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments will be arranged.
