About Dominique
Dominique Phillips is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, depression, and coping with life changes. She also lists support for LGBT issues, family and parenting concerns, sleep problems, self-esteem, and ADHD among her areas of focus.
Dominique aims to make sessions a place where thoughts and feelings can be talked through without judgment. She encourages clear conversation about what is causing guilt, shame or ongoing worry, and helps clients look at practical steps for day-to-day coping. Conversations are straightforward and rooted in what is happening now.
Her practice also attends to attachment issues, avoidant personality patterns, and sexual subcultures such as BDSM and kink when these come up. She works with people facing blended family or fatherhood concerns, fertility and caregiver stress, cancer-related challenges, and problems with communication or commitment.
Sessions focus on identifying troubling patterns, testing small changes, and learning ways to manage emotions and behaviour between meetings. Dominique draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure this work and to keep sessions focused and practical. She invites clients to try things out and reflect on what helps.
People can expect straightforward talking, feedback and suggested exercises to practice between sessions. Dominique supports those who want to address shame, guilt or distress related to life events, relationships or identity and who prefer a practical conversational style.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Dominique works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear thinking and practical change. One approach she uses helps people identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep guilt or shame active, then tests small behavioural changes to shift those patterns. This is useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship stress.Another approach focuses on attachment and relationship patterns. It looks at how early connections shape current responses, and helps people try different ways of relating that reduce repeated conflict or withdrawal. This can help with commitment, communication and feelings of emptiness.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Dominique will discuss different approaches and help decide what fits a client's needs, goals and preferences. She works collaboratively and adjusts methods as the work evolves.
The practical benefits of online work are that sessions can fit more easily into daily routines and reduce travel time. Online meetings can make it simpler to schedule regular check-ins around work or caring responsibilities, or to choose whether to use video or another format where available. The biography does not list which formats she offers, so please confirm the current session options before booking.
