About Dominic
Dominic Lourie trained as a Person-Centred counsellor and has practised for seven years. He introduces himself simply as Dom and focuses on listening closely to each person's story. His approach is direct and human, and he aims to meet people where they are without rushing them.
Dominic began his career working in hostels for people experiencing homelessness. That early work led to roles in the NHS, corporate settings and independent practice, so he has experience with a wide range of life situations.
Background and approach
He describes the variety of people he has met as an advantage when assessing what may help next. In sessions he uses familiar approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Person-Centred ideas. Dominic focuses on practical steps as well as understanding feelings, helping people make changes that matter to them.
He keeps language plain and avoids jargon so conversations stay clear and useful. Common topics he helps with include stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, ADHD and work-related strain. He also gives attention to body image, parenting pressures, chronic illness and caregiving stress.
Dominic is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He offers sessions in English and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally through online formats.

Online support
He pairs these with a Person-Centred emphasis, which means time is given to being heard and understood. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dominic will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt sessions as the work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and more conversational work, while phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for brief updates, coaching-style support or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
