About Dominic
Dominic Lourie is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. He began his work supporting people in homeless hostels and has since practised in NHS settings, corporate environments and private practice. Dominic works with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and blended family issues.
He prefers a straightforward, person-centred way of working. Sessions focus on what the client brings each week. Dominic listens, reflects, and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of daily life. He uses practical talking and exercises to help people make choices they can live with.
Dominic combines person-centred foundations with techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when useful. He also draws on attachment-informed ideas and emotionally focused work to look at relationship patterns and how past experiences affect present choices. He keeps explanations plain and links ideas to everyday situations.
People who come because of family change - for example new stephouseholds, custody tensions, or changing parenting roles - will find straightforward conversations about roles, boundaries and communication. He also supports people coping with trauma, grief, chronic health challenges and career strain.
Sessions follow the BACP code of ethics. Dominic aims to work in a calm, direct way so people can make steady progress on the issues they bring. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How Dominic uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current expectations and can help when relationship trust or communication is a problem.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Dominic will listen to what matters to the client, discuss options and adjust the work as goals and needs become clearer. He combines person-centred listening with techniques from the approaches above so the plan fits the client's situation.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches suit short practical exercises, while others use longer dialogue; Dominic will recommend a structure that fits the client's day-to-day routine.
