About Dominic
Dominic Lourie is a counsellor with seven years' experience. He began working in homeless hostels and now practises across NHS, corporate and private settings. Dominic aims to meet people where they are and treats each story with care and attention.
He trained as a Person Centred counsellor and holds BACP registration, which he uses as a guide for professional practice. Dominic listens first and helps people make sense of what they are facing. He keeps sessions grounded and straightforward, focusing on the immediate issues people bring.
His approach draws on several methods to suit different needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based work and Emotionally-Focused ideas. Dominic adapts these approaches to the person rather than applying a fixed formula. Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at helping people notice patterns and try small changes.
Many people come to him for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, as well as issues around addiction, self-esteem and work. He also supports those dealing with parenting strain, sleep or eating difficulties, ADHD and complex long-term problems such as chronic illness or codependency.
Dominic works in English and accepts international clients. He encourages prospective clients to think about what they want to address and to use the initial steps on the site to match with him and arrange the next step.
How Dominic’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It helps when stress, anxiety or avoidance get in the way of living the life you want. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and aims to test unhelpful patterns by trying small experiments between sessions. This can help with low mood, panic, sleep or eating difficulties.Finding the right approach is a shared task. Dominic listens to what matters to you and suggests ways of working that suit your goals and preferences. Together you can try one approach or combine elements from different methods and adjust as you go.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches suit longer conversations and some work better with short practical homework between meetings; Dominic will help decide what fits your situation and routine.
