About Lorraine

Lorraine Dyer is a BACP-registered Person-Centred counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people who report anxiety, stress, low mood and eating or food-related concerns. She also helps with relationships and the emotional impact of life changes.

Her approach begins by listening closely to what someone says and how they describe their day-to-day life. She uses Client-Centred principles to create room for people to speak without interruption and to reflect on what matters most to them. This gives a foundation for practical thinking and planning.

Lorraine also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small changes in how someone behaves. Mindfulness methods are used to build grounding skills for managing strong feelings. Psychodynamic ideas may be explored to understand repeated patterns from the past that affect present life.

Sessions focus on clear steps a person can try between meetings as well as talking through present problems. Typical topics include coping with grief, work-related stress, sleep problems, low self-esteem and feelings of isolation. Lorraine aims to make conversations straightforward and focused on useful next steps.

People who prefer calm, practical discussion about their worries tend to find her approach helpful. She works in English and does not accept international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

Therapeutic approaches used for online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says so they can clarify their own priorities and feelings. It is helpful when someone needs space to talk and to be understood without advice.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioural changes. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and difficulty with sleep or confidence because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce the intensity of strong emotions and to improve focus. These practices can be short and practised daily to support day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lorraine will discuss options and try methods that match a person's needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about focus and techniques are made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific formats available before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make fitting therapy around work and family life easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also means practical tools such as thought records or mindfulness exercises can be used between sessions to support progress.
