Lorraine Dyer
BACP counsellor helping with stress and mood
About Lorraine
Lorraine Dyer is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, low mood and changes that feel overwhelming. Her straightforward approach aims to put people at ease from the first session.
She has four years of practice and works with concerns such as depression, eating and food-related issues, grief and low self-esteem. Lorraine also supports people dealing with relationship strain, career uncertainty and difficulties with sleep and motivation.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with mood disorders, bipolar and attention difficulties where present alongside other concerns. Her style draws on client-centred methods that place the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness techniques to build calm and present-moment focus.
Psychodynamic perspectives inform some work on past patterns that continue to affect current life. Sessions aim to be practical and conversational. Lorraine helps people talk through what is happening now, try small changes, and reflect on repeating patterns.
She explains therapeutic steps in plain language and adapts the pace to each person’s needs. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions through the site. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The therapist offers an accepting, non-judgemental space so people can talk through what matters most and find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits by testing small changes and practising new ways of thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that feel helpful. Together they decide which ideas to use and adjust the plan as needed in an open, collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people write between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and to keep contact when travel or schedules are difficult.
