Cyndi Dyke, BACP

Cyndi Dyke is a licensed therapist based in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, with 10 years of professional experience delivering direct mental health counselling to adults, children, and adolescents. She works with a wide range of presenting issues, including anxiety, depression, low self esteem and low confidence, relationship and family difficulties, and obsessive compulsive disorder.

Cyndi focuses on helping people grow from their struggles, heal from painful experiences, and move toward the life they want. She approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert in their own story and aims to draw out the strengths and abilities a client already has to meet current challenges. Beginning therapy can take courage, and she works to acknowledge and support that first step.

Her practice provides a non-judgemental environment for individuals, families, and couples, and she emphasizes renewing the mind by identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs, patterns, and behaviours, then replacing them with healthier ways of thinking and acting. Cyndi’s therapeutic style is influenced by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic approaches, Solution-Focused Therapy, and, when requested, biblical teachings.

A priority in her work is to meet clients where they are and tailor treatment to their needs, recognising the connections between mind, body, spirit, and community. She describes her therapeutic stance as compassionate, respectful, and warm, and she also offers Christian counselling that combines scripture and psychological principles. Cyndi often works with women who wish to explore faith-informed pathways to change, sometimes referencing Romans 12:22 and the idea of transformation through renewal of the mind.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. It helps people who need empathy, understanding, and support to explore their feelings, identity, and relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact. It teaches skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and existing strengths to move toward clear, achievable goals. It can be helpful for people who want short-term, goal-oriented work to address specific problems or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is addressed collaboratively. Cyndi will work with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from varied locations, accommodate busy lives, and maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not possible.
