About Dominique

Dominique Phillips is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, depression and other life changes. Dominique also supports clients with parenting concerns, blended family issues, self-esteem, ADHD and work-related strain.

She aims for straightforward, practical conversations. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can make daily life easier. Dominique listens to what matters most and helps people sort out priorities and next steps.

Her approach brings everyday language into therapy. Conversations might include looking at routines, communication patterns, and how responsibilities are shared. Dominique can help clarify roles, set boundaries, and plan actions to reduce conflict and overwhelm in a busy household.

People often come with questions about combining households, negotiating parenting roles, or handling loyalty problems after separation. Dominique works through these topics in short, manageable sessions that break big problems into doable steps. She also addresses rest, sleep and the strain of caregiving when those affect mood and functioning.

Sessions are offered in English. International clients are accepted, and practical details about session formats should be checked before booking. To start, prospective clients follow the matching and booking steps provided on the site.

How therapeutic approaches are used online

Dominique uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and make practical plans. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with small experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps people spot what keeps them stuck and try new ways of responding.

Another approach looks at relationships and attachment patterns to understand how past connections shape current conflicts. This can help with communication, setting clearer roles in a blended household, and managing loyalty tensions after separation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dominique treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss options based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and review progress over time.

Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around family life, work hours and caregiving. Shorter check-ins, evening appointments or sessions that do not require video can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent alongside daily routines.
