About Dominic

Dominic Kelleher is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, career questions and coping with life changes. Dominic also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, body image, and several other areas related to relationships and personal struggle.

Dominic uses a client-centred approach. He aims to listen without judgment and help people talk through what matters to them. Sessions centre on the client's experience and on making sense of feelings and reactions in everyday life.

He has worked with more than 100 different people across over 1,000 sessions and has spent much of his adult life living and working in several countries. That international background informs his work and helps him understand cultural factors that can affect how someone experiences stress and relationships.

Practical concerns such as communication problems, commitment worries, and issues that follow separation or divorce are within his stated focus. Dominic also lists caregiver stress, chronic illness, addiction, and fatherhood issues among areas he pays attention to when they are part of a person's present difficulties.

Sessions are conducted in English and Dominic accepts international clients. Before booking, the reader should confirm current session formats and any local considerations that may affect how they wish to meet.

How client-centred work translates to online sessions

Dominic uses a client-centred approach, which focuses on listening to a person's experience and reflecting it back so they can make sense of feelings. This style helps when anxiety or relationship concerns make it hard to speak up, because the counsellor prioritises understanding the client's point of view.

Having an explicit focus on attachment and related issues means sessions often explore patterns in relationships and how they affect everyday life. Talking about these patterns can help people notice repeated reactions and consider different ways of relating to others and themselves.

Finding the right approach is treated as a joint task. Dominic will work with the client to decide which ways of working feel helpful and will adapt the pace and topics to the client's needs and goals. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so readers should confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or review-focused meetings when that suits someone better. For international clients, online work also removes geographic barriers while keeping the focus on practical issues like scheduling and time zones.
