How Dominic’s approaches work for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting tangled in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments, which often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy issues, trust and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dominic will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will adapt methods as needed. He aims to make decisions together so the therapy fits the person's life and what they want to change.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow steadier contact during times of change. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that suit a quieter routine. Registered or accredited professionals like Dominic can use these ways of working to keep therapy practical and focused on real-life steps.
