About Dominic
Dominic Lourie is a counsellor with seven years' experience who began his work supporting people in homeless hostels. He trained and practised as a Person Centred counsellor and has since worked in the NHS, corporate settings and private practice. Dominic listens to each person's story and meets them where they are to help identify next steps.
He prefers simple, human conversations rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what matters now - feelings, relationships and daily struggles. Dominic pays attention to stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions and issues around identity and intimacy. He also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care matters and related attachment concerns.
His approach draws on several ways of working. He uses Client-Centred methods to create an approachable tone. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural ideas to look at unhelpful thinking and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most. Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-Based ideas shape how he supports relationship and connection difficulties.
Dominic aims to make the counselling relationship straightforward and respectful. He treats people's stories seriously and works to build a collaborative space for change. People who want a practical, conversational counsellor often find his style a good fit.

How Dominic uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice their thoughts and choose actions tied to what matters most. It can help with anxiety, stress and life changes by shifting focus toward values-based action. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work, offering a listening, non-judgemental space that helps build understanding and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and offers practical ways to change them over time.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Dominic works collaboratively with each person to decide which ideas to use based on their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts sessions as the work progresses so people can try different ways of working and see what fits.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, cut travel time and allow quicker access from different locations. Different approaches suit different practical needs - a shorter phone check-in may be useful for brief updates, while video sessions let people use facial cues for emotional work. The therapist and client will agree the best way to meet when arranging sessions.
