Approaches that guide online counselling
Dominic draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and then choose actions that match their values. That approach can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This can help when intimacy, abandonment or attachment issues are causing repeated difficulties in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dominic talks with each person about what feels most helpful and adjusts methods to match their goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual's needs.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also let people continue work with the same counsellor when they are living in a different country or need to manage health or caregiving commitments.
