Recognizing that seeking help takes courage, Dominic provides steady support throughout the therapeutic process and tailors interventions to meet individual needs and preferences.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dominic often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that reflect their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach can help with abandonment concerns, communication problems, and relationship difficulties. Finally, he uses elements of Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client’s experience, offering empathy and collaboration as central tools for growth.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dominic works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, set goals, and adjust methods over time so the approach fits the client’s preferences and circumstances.
Online therapy with Dominic is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to engage in regular sessions from varied locations and to maintain continuity of care when life or travel creates changes in routine.
