About Dominic
Dominic Lourie brings seven years of hands-on counselling experience to his work. He trained as a person-centred counsellor and began his career supporting people in homeless hostels. Dominic now works across NHS roles, corporate settings and independent practice throughout the United Kingdom.
He aims to listen first and understand before offering direction. Dominic prefers to meet people where they are and build an equal space for talking things through. He keeps sessions focused on what matters to the person in front of him.
Background and approach
His practice covers a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting, eating and sleeping difficulties, bipolar and ADHD. He also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, long-term illness and other complex challenges.
Dominic draws on several approaches to shape his work. He uses person-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment-informed thinking and emotionally focused perspectives. In practice this means helping people notice patterns, try different actions, and develop clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.
Sessions aim to be humane and practical. Dominic values straightforward conversation and small, realistic steps. He works in line with his BACP registration and treats each account with care and respect.

How Dominic works online
He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas which help identify unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments to change patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is part of his toolkit too and helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on values-based actions rather than getting stuck in avoidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dominic will talk through options and tailor methods to a person's goals, preferences and what feels helpful. He works collaboratively, adjusting pace and techniques as trust develops and priorities become clearer.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when a full appointment is not possible. Registered and accredited professionals often use remote sessions to keep continuity of care when life circumstances change.
