Dominic Lourie, BACP

Dominic Lourie is a counsellor with seven years' experience who aims to listen without judgement. He began working in homeless hostels and now has worked in the NHS, corporate settings, and private practice. Dominic focuses on meeting people where they are and building an equal, humane space for talking through difficulties.

He trained as a Person Centred counsellor and uses that human-centred approach alongside methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That mix helps him tailor sessions to the issue someone brings, whether that is anxiety, grief, relationship stress or coping with chronic illness.

Dominic’s style is straightforward and warm. He pays attention to practical steps as well as feelings. Sessions tend to balance listening with gentle challenges and the creation of day-to-day strategies that a person can try between meetings.

He has worked with many kinds of life stories, from trauma and addiction to parenting strain and workplace stress. Dominic also supports people facing identity and intimacy questions, and those dealing with medical or caregiving strains.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are delivered through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that guide online work and what they do

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions towards those values even when difficult thoughts appear. It can help with anxiety, burnout and coping with long-term health challenges.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they relate to others and try new, healthier ways of connecting, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and empathy. The therapist offers non-judgemental attention, which gives space to understand feelings and decide on next steps at the person’s own pace.

Finding the right approach is often a process. Dominic will work collaboratively to choose methods that match someone’s goals, needs and preferences. He may blend approaches and adjust over time based on what is helpful.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as this profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or fewer travel demands on days with appointments. Remote sessions also allow people in different locations to connect with a therapist who has the experience they want.
