Counselling in B1
I love working with people who are openminded and honest and looking to improve their lives and explore some of their blocks. I have a lot of experience working with depression, anxiety, abuse, addiction and low self esteem. If you aren't happy with yourself or your life, I would love to find out why and help you to explore ways of making positive changes. I have transformed my life in a positive way so I speak from experience when I say radical transformation is possible if you are open to it. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to talk about the things that are really important to you.

I have been counselling individuals and couples for over 15 years in Bristol, London and online. My passion lies in working with people to improve the quality of their life experience, helping people to relate better, gain confidence to have a more prosperous life, look at blocks in their lives which may be a result of unresolved childhood issues, resolving conflict in relationships, and recovery from traumatic relationships.

You deserve to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.....Do you agree with this statement? Sometimes life feels difficult and losing sight of what is meaningful can cause significant distress. Making time for yourself to understand your thoughts and feelings and establish what you truly value in life is so important.

Taking the first step and finding a therapist can be daunting, but you have got this far so well done. I can help you talk about things you are struggling with, think about how you feel about these things and then help you decide what to do with that new information.

I am a clinical psychologist based in the UK, currently offering online sessions both locally and internationally. People seek my support to move forward from difficult experiences and repeating patterns. From feeling stuck or confused, I guide people to reconnect with their inner wisdom and potential. As part of this process, I recognise the importance of listening to mind-body-soul and placing ourselves within the contexts of family systems, identity, culture, and community. I would invite you to notice and bring all aspects that are important for you.

My name's Dom and I'm a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. I offer both short- and long-term one-to-one therapeutic support to adults aged 21+ who live in the UK via telephone or online video. During our sessions together, we can explore whatever topics or issues you'd like to bring to therapy at your pace. In other words, I won't push you to talk about anything you don't want to. Also, I don't set 'homework' as many therapists do. Instead, I aim to work in a more flexible, relational way which is adapted to you and your circumstances.

As private practice and NHS practitioner, with a 20-year background in neuropsychology, I structure therapy around the needs of my clients. Using Trauma-informed practice I employ Evidence-based techniques such as CBT, ERP and EMDR, in conjunction with psychoeducation. Client-Centred approach is central to my therapeutic aim of growing self-awareness and offering clients a proactive involvement in their therapeutic process. My private practice is based in Derbyshire and virtually on Zoom, where in a confidential, safe and empathic environment I have been supporting clients from across the UK and Europe.
