About Cyndi
Cyndi Dyke is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, loss, relationship strain, low self-esteem and anger. She also supports those facing addiction, sleep or eating difficulties, parenting pressures and major life changes.
Her style is practical and person-focused. She listens to what a person brings and works with them to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Conversations aim to identify small changes that reduce tension and improve day-to-day coping.
Cyndi draws on client-centred work to keep sessions built around the person’s priorities. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to challenge thinking patterns and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and notice progress. When faith is important to a client she can integrate Christian counselling and discuss scripture as part of sessions.
She has worked across a broad range of presenting issues including trauma and grief, relationship and family problems, ADHD-related difficulties, and compassion fatigue. That experience informs practical strategies for managing anger, building communication skills and repairing trust when it has been damaged.
Cyndi encourages clear steps that fit everyday life. This can include simple breathing and grounding practices to de-escalate tension, thought records to track triggers, and action-focused homework to test new ways of relating. The aim is to give people tools they can use between meetings to reduce flare-ups and increase control over how they respond.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences and is about listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. It helps when someone wants to explore feelings, relationships and what they value. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is about spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that increase distress and testing practical alternatives. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and anger management. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and what is already working; it can help people notice progress quickly and build confidence.Finding the right combination of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, aims and preferences. That might mean using CBT tools most weeks or alternating focused goal work with client-centred discussion depending on what the person wants to achieve.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, cut out travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue meetings when life is busy, while keeping the focus on practical techniques for reducing anger and improving everyday coping.
