About Dominic
Dominic Lourie is a counsellor who has spent seven years helping people talk through difficult moments. He trained in person-centred practice and has worked across hostels, the NHS, corporate settings and in independent practice. Dominic aims to meet people where they are and listen to their stories without judgement.
He keeps sessions straightforward and human. Dominic offers a space to slow down, name what feels hard and make small, practical changes.
Background and approach
He pays attention to feelings and everyday pressures like sleep, work stress, and relationship strain. Dominic draws on a mix of approaches, including existential ideas and acceptance and commitment techniques, to suit the needs of each person. He also uses attachment-based and cognitive behavioural ideas when helpful.
These methods are used flexibly to focus on what a person wants to work on in the room. Clients often bring struggles such as anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction or issues with intimacy and self‑esteem. Dominic also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, chronic illness, neurodiversity and career stress.
He aims to help people find clearer direction and cope with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and can be carried out online in several formats. Dominic works with a subscription model for appointments that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
How Dominic uses therapy approaches online
Dominic blends existential and acceptance-based ideas to help people reflect on meaning and values while learning ways to act that match what matters to them. Existential approaches encourage honest conversation about life choices, purpose and the fears that can hold people back. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and committing to actions that align with personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression and coping with change.He also draws on attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps when repeated relationship problems or difficulties with trust are present. Dominic treats deciding on an approach as a shared task - he will listen, explain different methods, and together find what fits the person's goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or limited travel options. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style work or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep continuity and try different formats as needs change.
