About Dominic Lourie
Dominic Lourie is a person centred counsellor with seven years of professional experience who approaches each conversation as an opportunity to listen and learn. He aims to meet people exactly where they are, creating an equal, human-focused space for exploring difficulties and finding practical ways forward.
Dominic began his counselling career working in hostels for people experiencing homelessness and has since practised across the NHS, corporate settings, and private practice. That range of settings means he has supported a wide variety of concerns, from everyday stress and relationship issues to trauma, grief, and longer-term mental health challenges. He treats people’s feelings with seriousness and respect and brings that same steadiness to every therapeutic relationship.
He trained as a Person Centred counsellor and draws on that foundation alongside other evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to tailor support to each individual. Dominic works in line with the BACP code of ethics - BACP being the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - and focuses on building a constructive, collaborative relationship where meaningful progress can be made.
He is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Dominic uses a person centred approach that places the individual at the heart of the work - offering empathic listening, collaboration, and a focus on the client’s own goals to help with issues such as stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another core method he uses; ACT helps people clarify their values, develop psychological flexibility, and learn practical ways to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings.
Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of his practice when relational patterns, family history, or early life experiences are central to the presenting difficulties. This approach explores how past relationships influence current connections and supports building healthier ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dominic works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the way he works as the relationship develops.
Online sessions - by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexible access to therapy that can fit around work, family, and geographic constraints. These options enable ongoing contact and adaptability so that people can engage in therapy in ways that suit their routines and comfort levels while working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in the approaches described above.
