About Dominic
Dominic Lourie is a counsellor with seven years' experience who sees listening as central to his work. He aims to meet people where they are and create an equal space for talking through problems. Dominic brings a calm, down-to-earth approach to sessions and treats every story with careful attention.
Dominic began his counselling career working in homeless hostels. That early work led to roles in NHS settings, corporate environments, and independent practice.
Background and approach
Those varied settings mean he is used to many different life stories and challenges. He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting matters, anger, self-esteem, bipolar, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Dominic also focuses on areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic illness and disability, and codependency. His approach draws on Jungian Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. In sessions he listens first, then helps people try small steps and new ways of seeing things.
Work is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. Dominic is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Practical session options include video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Jungian Therapy looks at personal stories, symbols and life themes to help people find meaning and new perspectives; it can be useful for those wanting depth work and exploration of recurring life patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and taking small actions that match what matters most; it often helps with anxiety, depression and coping with change.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dominic will work together with the client to identify which ideas suit their goals and preferences. That means trying a way of working, checking how it feels, and adjusting as needed rather than committing to one method from the start.
Online formats allow the same kinds of conversations as face-to-face work while adding practical flexibility. Video calls are close to an in-person session and good for visual connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, writing-focused work or times when being on camera is not wanted. These options help people keep therapy going around work, family or travel commitments.
