About Cyndi
Cyndi Dyke is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on issues that commonly affect life at home - stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, grief, and difficulties with sleep or eating. She also supports people facing addiction, anger, career worries, and the impact of trauma and abuse.
Cyndi uses straightforward talk and practical strategies in sessions. She draws on client-centred ideas to listen and follow each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to notice unhelpful thinking and try new habits. Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify small changes that move things forward.
The approach is described as respectful and non-judgemental, and faith-based options are available when clients request scripture-informed counselling. Cyndi mentions working with adults, young people and adolescents in her background, and with blended family issues, attachment concerns, and intimacy-related problems among other areas.
Sessions aim to look at current patterns and build skills for everyday life. Practical steps might include clearer communication strategies, coping techniques for anxiety or anger, and structured exercises for sleep or eating problems. Work can also include looking at family roles and parenting pressures.
She frames therapy as a joint process, helping people name goals and try manageable changes. People who speak English are supported, and international clients are accepted. The site process asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session when ready.
How sessions work
How Cyndi uses talking therapies online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings. It helps people feel heard and clarifies their priorities so sessions stay practical and relevant.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems by testing new thinking and building small habits.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on short-term steps and strengths. It helps identify small, concrete changes to try between sessions and track progress.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work and daily routines - for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or removing the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly use these practical advantages to help people keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
