About Lorraine
Lorraine Dyer is a BACP-registered person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or life changes. Lorraine aims to make the first step easier for anyone uncertain about reaching out.
With four years of practice, Lorraine supports people facing depression, eating and food-related issues, grief, dissociation and problems with motivation or self-esteem. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, anger, sleeping difficulties and career anxieties.
Background and approach
Lorraine works with mood disorders, bipolar and ADHD among other challenges listed in her specialities. Her approach is rooted in person-centred counselling, which means she listens closely and follows each person’s pace. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness techniques and psychodynamic ideas when these suit the client’s needs.
Sessions focus on practical ways to manage feelings and on understanding patterns that keep problems going. Lorraine aims to create a non-judgemental space for people to talk through what matters to them. She encourages clear, achievable goals and practical steps between meetings.
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. If someone wants to explore their feelings about identity, family problems, body image or midlife changes, Lorraine offers a calm, respectful place to do that. She invites people to take the next step when they feel ready and to start with a short matching questionnaire on the service’s site before scheduling.

How Lorraine works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression and stress.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support better sleep and emotion regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for more consistent meetings around work or family commitments. Depending on the service setup, there may be options for different session lengths or styles, so confirm the exact session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for steady progress and for practising skills between meetings.
