About Dominique
Dominique Phillips is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She supports adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss, and depression. She also works with people coping with life changes, parenting pressures, sleep problems, self-esteem and career concerns. Dominique lists additional focus areas including ADHD, attachment issues and blended family concerns.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions concentrate on what is happening now at home and what practical steps can help. She encourages clear communication and explores how patterns of behaviour affect everyday life. Conversations can include looking at boundaries, routines and small changes that make daily life easier.
Dominique aims to help clients who are managing care responsibilities, fertility or fatherhood issues, or the emotional impact of illness such as cancer. She also notes experience with body image, commitment and control issues, and alternative sexual cultures like BDSM and kink. Work often involves addressing relationship problems and family tensions as they affect the individual.
She offers help for those feeling drained by compassion fatigue or juggling career stress alongside parenting. Dominique accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, people are asked to use the online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Dominique works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear communication and practical change. One common approach is problem-focused work that identifies unhelpful patterns and sets small, achievable goals; this helps with anxiety, stress and sleep problems by breaking big issues into manageable steps. Another approach is emotion-focused conversation that helps people name and sit with difficult feelings such as grief or emptiness, and then link those feelings to everyday choices and routines.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your priorities, try different ways of working and agree what feels most useful. That collaboration means the way you work together can change as your situation changes.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or enabling sessions from a different time zone. These practical benefits help therapy sit alongside parenting, work and caring responsibilities without promising a specific session type.
