He began his counselling career supporting people in homeless hostels. Since then he has worked in the NHS, in corporate settings and in independent practice.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Dominic uses a small number of complementary approaches to guide online work. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding the impact of difficult events and helping people reduce their day-to-day distress. It can be useful for symptoms that follow abuse, loss or shocking experiences.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them. It is practical for anxiety, depression and life changes where people want clearer direction. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns, and it can help when issues of abandonment, trust or intimacy come up.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Dominic will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He adapts his work over time and checks in about what feels useful so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls enable face-to-face conversations, phone sessions require less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs while still using the approaches above.
