About Dominic
Dominic Lourie is a counsellor with seven years' experience. He trained as a person-centred practitioner and has worked in homeless hostels, the NHS, corporate settings and independent practice. Dominic listens to each person's story and aims to meet them where they are.
He brings a calm, human approach to sessions and treats concerns with seriousness and respect. Dominic sees a wide range of difficulties, including stress, anxiety, grief and depression.
Background and approach
He also helps people facing trauma and abuse, addiction, bipolar challenges and compassion fatigue. Relationship and intimacy issues, LGBT concerns, eating and sleeping problems and parenting strains are part of his experience too. His practice draws on established methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused approaches.
Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and building emotional awareness. Dominic works with clients to find what feels most useful for them rather than using a single fixed method. In conversation he aims to create an equal space for exploring problems and making changes.
People can expect straightforward talk, reflective listening and collaboratively set goals. Dominic applies the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics in his work. Sessions are offered in English and are available to clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
He provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different preferences and schedules.
Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them, even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleeping problems.Dominic approaches therapy collaboratively. He will talk through different methods and help clients choose what fits their goals and preferences. That discussion is part of early sessions so the plan can be adapted as things change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or who want flexible, on-the-go contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and to keep a steady course of support even when life is busy.
