About Dominic
Dominic Lourie is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of practice. He began his counselling career working in homeless hostels and has since worked in the NHS, corporate settings and private practice. Dominic works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting, anger and ADHD.
He prefers a straightforward, person-centred way of working. That means he listens first and helps people name what matters to them. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now, how it affects day-to-day life, and what a person wants to change or cope with differently.
Dominic draws on several approaches to suit the conversation in the room. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking patterns and practical steps. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to work on values and making space for difficult feelings. Attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform how he talks about relationships and closeness.
Clients can expect clear, human conversation rather than clinical jargon. Dominic aims to keep things direct and practical, helping people manage strong feelings like anger or long-standing issues such as trauma and grief. He has experience with a broad mix of life challenges, from chronic illness and caregiver stress to body image and kink-aware matters.
Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location. Dominic sees international clients and works in English. To begin, people use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Dominic uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes. He also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and practise accepting difficult feelings while moving toward what matters. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationships and closeness are central to the problem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dominic will discuss these options with the client and agree together which methods feel most useful. He aims to shape sessions around the person’s goals and preferences rather than imposing one fixed model.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow for check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. It can also make it simpler for people who live abroad to work with a UK-based BACP counsellor. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt techniques for video or phone meetings so the practical focus of CBT and ACT can still be used remotely.
