Approaches you can use in online sessions
Dominic uses person centred practice alongside methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Person centred work focuses on listening, empathy and building trust so people can find their own answers. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and to focus on values and committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is often part of the work. Dominic will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve during therapy.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family rhythms, reduce travel time and allow people to use quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, reflective work and practical strategies to remote sessions, and Dominic will help pick approaches that suit each person’s situation.
