About Dominic
Dominic Lourie is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of practice. He began his career working in hostels for people experiencing homelessness and has since worked in NHS services, corporate settings and private practice. Dominic lists stress, anxiety and related concerns among the issues he supports.
He uses a person-centred approach in sessions, which means he listens first and follows what matters most to the person in front of him. He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at patterns of thought and behaviour, and on attachment-based work to help people understand close relationships. These methods aim to make sessions practical and relevant to day-to-day life.
Dominic has experience across a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strains, anger and self-esteem. He also lists work with ADHD, bipolar and issues connected to adoption, abandonment and attachment.
People who like clear conversation and a straightforward, human approach will find his style familiar. He says he meets people where they are and treats each story with care. Dominic follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics as a BACP member.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to you and taking steps in that direction even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behaviour patterns and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful cycles; this approach often helps with anxiety, sleeping and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and close relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for intimacy, relationship and attachment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dominic will discuss different ways of working and agree on an approach together, based on what you want to focus on and how you prefer to work. That collaborative step helps shape goals and which methods to try first.
If you plan to try online sessions, please confirm the exact session options before booking. The booking flow will show how sessions are delivered and let you schedule a first meeting. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and remove travel time so sessions are simpler to attend. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and conversational work to the online setting so the focus stays on practical progress.
