About Dominic
Dominic Lourie brings seven years of counselling experience to his practice. He greets each person's story with steady attention and aims to meet clients where they are. Dominic works in a warm, straightforward way that helps people begin to untangle difficult feelings.
He began his counselling work supporting people in homeless hostels. Since then he has worked in the NHS, corporate settings, and independent practice. Those varied roles mean he is familiar with many kinds of life pressures and emotional pain.
Background and approach
Dominic describes his style as human and person-centred. He listens first, then helps people explore what matters to them and what small changes could make life easier. Sessions tend to be practical, honest conversations rather than technical lectures.
He uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural ideas, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. Dominic applies these methods to concerns like stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, parenting strains, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD-related challenges. Dominic is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
He offers appointments in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, depending on what suits each person.

How Dominic brings therapeutic approaches to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect today and can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and attachment difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy centres on empathetic listening and non-judgemental support to help people find their own solutions and build self-understanding.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Dominic discusses options with each person and adjusts techniques to match their goals and preferences. The choice of method is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer not to speak aloud. These formats help people fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities, or different time zones, while still working with registered or accredited professionals who use recognised therapeutic approaches.
