About Dominic

Dominic Lourie is a counsellor with seven years' experience. He trained in person-centred practice and has worked across homeless hostels, the NHS, corporate services and private practice. Dominic focuses on listening and helping people make sense of difficult situations, including money and financial issues among other concerns.

He aims to meet people where they are. Sessions are straightforward and practical. Dominic creates time to hear each person's story without rushing them. He treats emotions seriously and responds with care rather than judgement.

Dominic blends person-centred work with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. He draws on these methods to help people notice patterns, try small changes and build clearer ways of moving forward. The emphasis is on what the person wants to achieve and on practical steps between sessions.

Having worked in a range of settings gives Dominic experience with many different life situations. He has supported people with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, addiction concerns, ADHD and challenges tied to work or money. He also works with people facing trauma, long-term illness and caring responsibilities.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Dominic follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics, and he brings a warm, human approach to therapy that aims for steady, lasting change.

Online approaches and how they help

Dominic uses person-centred work alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship, which helps when someone needs to talk through difficult feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values, and supports taking small steps towards what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and helps people try practical experiments to change how they respond.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dominic will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as work progresses, so the plan is adjusted to what helps most.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in sessions when needed. It can also help people keep momentum between appointments and try therapeutic tools in real-life settings between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to support steady progress while adapting to a client's schedule.
