Cyndi Dyke, BACP

Cyndi Dyke is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, and coping with life changes. Her focus also extends to addiction, trauma, grief, ADHD and blended family issues.

Cyndi uses practical talking therapy that aims to identify unhelpful patterns and replace them with more workable ways of thinking and behaving. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s experience. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used for skills-based work on thoughts and behaviours, and Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear, short-term goals.

Sessions are conversational and task-focused when appropriate. Cyndi may work with clients to set small experiments, try new routines, or practise techniques between meetings. She can also explore how faith and personal beliefs fit into coping strategies, where clients wish to include that element.

Her background includes direct counselling across a range of presenting problems. That experience informs a pragmatic approach aimed at reducing day-to-day distress and improving functioning. Cyndi supports people who are navigating role changes in blended households, step-parenting concerns, and challenges that arise when routines and loyalties shift.

People are encouraged to bring what matters most into sessions. Meetings tend to balance listening, practical tools, and short-term goal work. The style suits someone wanting clear steps alongside a reflective conversation.
