About Lorraine
Lorraine Dyer is a BACP-registered person-centred counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. Lorraine also supports people facing relationship tensions, grief, eating and body-image concerns, and issues around self-esteem and confidence.
She focuses on listening and helping people make sense of what they are experiencing. Sessions are a place to talk through feelings, notice patterns, and decide on small steps forward. Lorraine aims to help people manage anger, sleep problems, addictive behaviours and mood fluctuations by exploring what keeps those problems going.
Her background includes work with people coping with separation, bereavement, dissociation and shifts that come with midlife. She notices how control issues, guilt and isolation can tie into longer-term worries about purpose and identity. Lorraine draws on different ways of working to match what someone needs in the moment.
In practice she uses client-centred ways of listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness strategies. She also brings psychodynamic ideas to help people look at repeating patterns from the past. These approaches are used to help with everyday stressors as well as longer-standing mood or relationship difficulties.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her four years of practice with adults. People who are seeking help are invited to use the service's matching process and then book an initial session to begin discussing goals and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the session. It involves open listening and reflecting back what feels important to the client, helping them understand their feelings and decide what to focus on. This approach suits people who need time to clarify their thoughts and feel heard.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and how they keep problems in place. CBT is practical and often uses exercises between sessions to try new ways of thinking or acting. It can help with anxiety, low mood, anger and sleep difficulties.
Mindfulness work teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up by them. Short mindfulness practices can be used to reduce reactivity and improve focus in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lorraine will work collaboratively to decide which ideas and techniques fit a client’s needs and goals. That choice can change over time as progress is reviewed together.
If you want to know the session formats offered, please confirm the current options before booking. Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Some formats can make shorter check-ins easier or suit times when being on camera is not ideal.
