About Dominic
Dominic Lourie is a counsellor with seven years' experience. He began his counselling work in homeless hostels and has since worked in the NHS, corporate settings and private practice. He meets people where they are and listens to each person’s story without judgement.
Dominic trained as a Person Centred counsellor and holds BACP registration, which he carries into his day-to-day work. He offers an open, human approach that focuses on the person rather than labels. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, with Dominic helping people talk through immediate problems and long-standing patterns.
People come to him with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction and sleep issues. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and family pressures, ADHD, compassion fatigue and workplace strain. His background in different settings means he is used to varied life stories and complex situations.
Dominic draws on a few different ways of working, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside a Person Centred stance. He adapts these to the person in front of him and the goals they want to set.

How Dominic uses different approaches online
Dominic works from a Person Centred base, which means he focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience before suggesting directions to try. This helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to them.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to take steps toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and to practise practical changes for everyday life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dominic will talk with the person about their needs and goals, try things out and adjust the way he works if needed. The intention is to find a style that fits the person’s life and helps them make steady progress.
Because session formats are not specified in the original biography, please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also broaden access for people living overseas, which Dominic accepts for international sessions.
