About Lorraine
Lorraine Dyer is a BACP-registered Person-Centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, low mood, eating and body-image concerns, and life changes. Lorraine also addresses grief, addictions, sleep problems, anger and issues around self-esteem and motivation.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions focus on what troubles the client now and on practical ways to manage day-to-day life. Lorraine listens without judgement and encourages people to talk through feelings that feel stuck or overwhelming.
She draws on Client-Centred methods to help people feel heard, and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify patterns that maintain distress. Mindfulness techniques are used to build moment-to-moment coping, and psychodynamic ideas help look at longer-standing patterns when that is useful.
People often come for help with family-related concerns, relationship strain, or midlife and career changes. Lorraine supports adults with a broad range of mood and behavioural issues, including bipolar and ADHD-related challenges, always keeping the focus on what each person wants to work on.
Sessions are conducted in English. Lorraine aims to make decision-making about therapy simple: she will explore what matters most to the client and agree practical steps to try between sessions. The tone is calm and unhurried, with an emphasis on clear, manageable changes.
To begin, prospective clients follow the online matching and booking process and schedule an initial appointment. Lorraine uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How Lorraine uses approaches in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and building a trusting working relationship. It helps people feel heard and choose what to focus on, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem or relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. In practice this means identifying unhelpful patterns and trying manageable experiments between sessions to change them, often useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These exercises can be short and practical, helpful when stress or intrusive thoughts make daily life harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will discuss options and help decide what fits the client's goals and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative process and may combine methods based on what the person needs.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Many people find that online sessions help fit therapy around family life, work and caring responsibilities. Online appointments can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and schedule sessions in quieter parts of the day.
