Dominic Lourie is a counsellor with seven years' experience. He trained in person-centred work and has practised across NHS services, corporate settings and independent practice. Dominic aims to listen without judgement and meet people where they are.

He approaches sessions with calm attention and respect for each person's story. Dominic began his counselling career supporting people in homeless hostels. That early work exposed him to many kinds of hardship and practical pressures.

Background and approach

He later expanded into NHS roles and workplace counselling, gaining experience with stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction and bereavement. In sessions he blends person-centred listening with practical methods drawn from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. He also uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas when relationships and intimacy are central concerns.

Dominic keeps language simple and focuses on steps people can try between meetings. He helps people with mood concerns like depression and bipolar, coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue. He also works with topics such as adoption and foster care, ageing issues, chronic illness, and body image.

Dominic supports those exploring sexuality and kink without judgement. Sessions are offered in English and Dominic accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Dominic's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thinking, feeling and behaviour, and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; this is often used for low mood, anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early connections affect current trust and intimacy issues.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Dominic listens to what matters most, discusses options, and agrees a way forward together. He may blend elements from different approaches so the work fits a person's goals and day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see body language and hold longer, in-depth sessions. Phone sessions are a simpler option when video isn't suitable or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter sessions or people who prefer written reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel while keeping the same therapeutic focus.
