Cyndi Dyke, BACP

Cyndi Dyke is a BACP-registered counsellor with ten years' experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and low self-esteem. She works with adults on issues such as depression, parenting challenges, addictions, trauma, grief and everyday habits like eating and sleeping. Cyndi aims to help people move forward by building on strengths they already have and by gently challenging unhelpful thinking patterns.

Her way of working is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on the person in front of her and on practical steps that fit day-to-day life. Cyndi describes the client as the expert in their own story and uses conversation to uncover workable options for change.

Cyndi draws on client-centred listening to create space for people to speak and be heard. She integrates cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and shift thoughts that keep problems going. Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, achievable goals and to notice small changes that build over time.

She is comfortable addressing a wide range of concerns including attachment difficulties, communication and commitment issues, body image, hoarding, infidelity and compassion fatigue. Cyndi also offers Christian counselling when clients request faith-informed sessions, using scripture alongside psychological approaches.

Sessions are tailored to the individual and paced according to need. People who choose to work with Cyndi can expect practical tools, straightforward conversation and support aimed at everyday change.

How Cyndi’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy is about listening and responding to the person in front of the counsellor. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to explore feelings without pressure. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviours that maintain problems and teaches practical ways to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, realistic goals and on noticing what is already working so change feels manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Cyndi typically talks with each person about their needs and goals and adapts methods as the sessions progress. The choice of techniques is collaborative and reviewed over time to make sure it fits what the person wants to achieve.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking to confirm how meetings are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals using online formats can still guide practical exercises, homework and goal-setting in ways that match busy lives.
