About Dominique
Dominique Phillips is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Dominique keeps conversations straightforward. She helps clients talk through upsetting thoughts and make sense of difficult feelings. Practical coping ideas and clearer communication skills are commonly part of her work together with clients.
Her background includes supporting people facing parenting pressures, career stress, sleeping difficulties and questions around self-esteem. She also works with clients dealing with ADHD challenges, compassion fatigue and the emotional impact of illness and caregiving. Additional areas she supports include blended family issues, commitment worries and body image concerns.
Dominique pays attention to attachment patterns and avoidant tendencies that affect relationships. She also has experience with themes related to BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, and with fertility and fatherhood concerns. Sessions aim to unpack patterns, set small goals and practise new ways of responding in everyday situations.

How evidence-based approaches are used online
Two evidence-based techniques often used with Dominique are cognitive approaches and skills-based work. Cognitive approaches look at the thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood and test whether those thoughts fit the facts; this can help when worry or social fear gets in the way of daily life. Skills-based work focuses on practical tools such as breathing, grounding and communication exercises to reduce stress and improve interactions with others.Another common focus is understanding attachment and avoidance patterns. That means noticing repeated ways of relating that cause pain, then trying small changes in how a person asks for support or sets boundaries. This approach can be useful for relationship strain, commitment worries and difficulties with closeness.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Dominique works with each client to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences, and she reviews what is working as sessions progress.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel for appointments. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while they work on stress, anxiety and relationship concerns.
