Dominic Lourie, BACP

Dominic Lourie is a counsellor with seven years' experience who listens to people's stories and meets them where they are. He trained in person-centred counselling and has worked across homeless hostels, the NHS, corporate settings and in private practice. Dominic brings a straightforward, human approach to conversations about difficult topics such as stress, anxiety and intimacy-related issues.

He focuses on practical ways to make small changes that add up. Sessions usually centre on what matters most to the person in front of him and on clear, manageable steps. Dominic is comfortable talking about trauma, grief, addiction and LGBT concerns, and he also supports people dealing with sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem and career strain.

Dominic uses a mix of approaches to suit each person's needs. That includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused conversation, alongside a person-centred stance. He aims to help people notice patterns and try different responses in day-to-day life.

His background working with a wide range of people means he is used to varied life situations, from chronic illness and caregiving stress to issues connected to adoption and attachment. Dominic is registered with the BACP, works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

How Dominic's approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and finding direction during life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand closeness, trust and recurring emotional reactions in relationships and intimacy-related situations.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and on building a trusting therapeutic relationship. This approach is useful when someone needs a calmer space to talk through things and decide what matters to them next.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dominic will discuss different ways of working and agree on methods that fit the person's goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and talking therapy to suit remote sessions so people can continue progress around their daily routines.
