About Lorraine
Lorraine Dyer is a Person-Centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She focuses on improving mental health and well-being and helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low mood or life changes. Lorraine aims to create a calm, respectful space where someone can begin to talk about what is troubling them.
She works with many common concerns such as depression, worry, sleep problems, eating and food-related issues, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, relationship strain, loss and dissociation. These are discussed in straightforward terms so each person can decide what to work on first.
In sessions Lorraine uses a Person-Centred style that prioritises listening and following the client’s pace. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness to help with unhelpful thoughts and to build simple coping tools. Psychodynamic ideas may inform conversations about patterns and past experiences when helpful.
Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small steps that fit into everyday life. Lorraine encourages people to notice progress, try new ways of coping and review what is or is not working.
Anyone thinking about starting can expect a supportive, non-judgemental space to talk things through. The aim is to help people find clearer ways forward and feel more able to face daily challenges.
How Lorraine’s approaches translate to online therapy
Person-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. In practice this means the counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what they hear back, helping people clarify their own thoughts and feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and difficulties that feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. Sessions often include simple strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural changes that can reduce worry or improve sleep.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages paying attention to the present in a non-judgemental way. Short guided exercises and everyday practices can help reduce reactivity and build steadier focus when stress rises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit each person’s needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan if something is not helpful.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life by removing travel, allowing a quieter check-in during a break, or offering shorter sessions where that helps.
