About Dominic
Dominic Lourie is a counsellor with seven years of practice. He introduces himself warmly and listens to each person's story without judgement. Dominic trained as a Person Centred counsellor and brings a calm, down-to-earth approach to sessions.
He began his career working in hostels for people experiencing homelessness. Since then he has worked in NHS settings, corporate environments and in independent practice. That variety means he has experience with many kinds of problems and life situations.
Background and approach
Dominic aims to meet people where they are. He creates an equal space to talk through stress, anxiety, depression and grief. He also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, addictions, parenting strain and career questions.
His practice draws on several approaches. He uses Client-Centred methods to keep the conversation focused on the person. Cognitive Behavioural techniques help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Attachment-based ideas inform work around relationships and emotional patterns. Sessions are straightforward and practical. Dominic listens, reflects and offers tools you can try between meetings.
He works in line with the BACP code of ethics and seeks steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support
He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical method that looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT tools support changes in unhelpful thinking and daily habits and are often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Dominic works collaboratively to do that. He will discuss which methods fit your goals and preferences and adjust the way you work together over time to match what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a direct conversational feel, phone calls suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and text options work well for brief updates or people who prefer writing. These choices make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
