Lorraine Dyer is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She holds BACP accreditation, and draws on four years of practice to support people through difficult periods. Lorraine aims to create a straightforward, respectful space where someone can talk about what is worrying them and feel heard.

Her approach is gentle and pragmatic. Lorraine listens closely to each person's story and responds to what matters most to them rather than following a rigid plan.

Background and approach

She uses client-centred work to build trust, and combines that with practical tools from cognitive behavioural and mindfulness approaches when helpful. People come to Lorraine with a wide range of concerns, including depression, eating and body image issues, grief, relationship and family tensions, anger, addiction, and difficulties with sleep.

She also supports people facing life changes, career uncertainty, feelings of emptiness, and challenges linked to mood disorders such as bipolar and ADHD-related struggles. Sessions tend to focus on making small, manageable changes and on improving day-to-day coping. Lorraine will help a person identify patterns that are causing distress and try out different ways of responding to them.

She keeps language simple and practical so people can use what they learn between sessions. Her work also addresses longer-term themes such as communication problems, guilt and shame, and midlife concerns. Lorraine welcomes conversations about personal values, life purpose and rebuilding after separation or loss.

She offers therapy in English and provides sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

How Lorraine's approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person and their experience, giving space for someone to talk and feel understood. This approach helps when someone needs a non-judgemental listener and wants to explore feelings and choices at their own pace.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviour and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and some eating concerns because it teaches specific skills to try between sessions.

Mindfulness therapy encourages paying attention to the present moment and accepting difficult thoughts without getting caught up in them. It often helps with stress, rumination and sleep by offering simple attention and breathing practices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lorraine will talk about what feels most useful, try different methods where needed, and adapt plans as goals change. That lets the person steer the pace and focus of their therapy in a collaborative way.

Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls let people connect face to face without travel. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support and for people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it simpler to maintain regular sessions and to use therapy around everyday life.
