About Dominic
Dominic Lourie is a counsellor with seven years' experience. He trained as a Person Centred counsellor and has worked across homeless hostels, the NHS, corporate settings and private practice. Dominic aims to listen to people's stories and meet them where they are. He creates an equal space for talking through problems and finding ways forward.
He began his practice supporting people in homeless hostels and has since worked with a broad range of issues. That background means he is familiar with many life stresses, including trauma, addiction, grief and mood difficulties. He also works with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and work-related stress.
Dominic uses approachable, plainspoken methods. He draws on Person Centred ideas alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Sessions focus on thoughts, everyday habits and what people can try between meetings.
People can expect Dominic to listen without judgement and to treat their experiences seriously. He emphasises a human, down-to-earth rapport rather than clinical distance. The aim is practical change that fits into daily life, not technical jargon.
Dominic works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm the current session options that suit your needs.

How Dominic's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing new behaviours to reduce distress and improve everyday functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present patterns and can help with intimacy, trust and relationship struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dominic will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps match methods to your goals and practical needs rather than assuming one way will suit everyone.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. They can also let someone join from a quieter location or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and homework to work well across distance, helping people focus on thoughts and everyday habits between sessions.
