About Dominic

Dominic Kelleher is a counsellor who focuses on practical support for everyday problems. He works with adults and explains things clearly. Dominic aims to make it easier to talk about stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, career decisions and major life changes.

He uses a client-centred way of working. That means he will listen, ask about what matters to you, and respond without judgement. Sessions tend to focus on what you want to change and on small steps you can try between meetings.

Dominic holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has three years of professional experience and has worked with more than 100 people over 1,000 sessions. He has lived and worked in several countries and welcomes cultural diversity in his practice.

Expect conversations that are straightforward and practical. Dominic helps people untangle problems such as communication difficulties, attachment and abandonment worries, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and issues around addiction and separation.

He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. If you want a counsellor who listens, reflects back what matters to you, and helps you decide next steps, Dominic may be a good fit. To begin, follow the provider's process for matching and scheduling.

Client-centred support through online sessions

Dominic works primarily using client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening closely to your concerns and reflecting them back so you can make sense of your feelings. This approach helps with issues like anxiety, relationship problems, self-esteem and coping with life changes by centring conversations on what you want to address.

He also draws on practical conversation-style work to identify small steps you can try between meetings. That kind of practical focus can be useful for career decisions, communication problems, caregiving stress and managing chronic illness or pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Dominic will discuss your goals and preferences, and together you will choose ways of working that fit your needs. He aims to tailor sessions so they feel relevant and manageable for you.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and let you meet from different locations. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or for conversations without video when that suits you better.
