I am Dom and I see it as a privilege to be able to listen to peoples stories. I try to meet people exactly where they are in order to create an equal space for figuring their problems. I have been a fully qualified (and busy !) Person Centred counsellor for the last 7 years having begun counselling life working in Homeless peoples hostels. Ever since, I’ve been working in both the NHS setting, corporate setting and private practice which gives me a wide variety of peoples problems. I am used to every kind of story and don’t take peoples’ feelings lightly. I work completely confidentially in a safe space in line with the BACPs code of ethics and like to bring a very human aspect to the counselling relationship where real progress is made.

Dom is a great fit for me! For context, I’m a tradesman approaching middle age and I’ve had some therapy before. We built a good rapport quickly and are able to carry frank and thoughtful conversations. He pays very close attention, rapidly identifies root causes, then carefully cuts into them with precision and gravity. I highly appreciate the casual, yet respectful atmosphere he maintains throughout our conversations. Great guy.

I truly feel heard during the sessions. It's more like a conversation with a friend who has incredible insights on your day. Therapy with Dom is exactly how I used to think therapy would be like and I love to work with him. I'm not judged and I feel safe talking to him about anything which wasn't the case with my previous experiences in my city. I couldn't imagine having anyone else than Dom from now on.

What I appreciate most about Dom is his ability to truly understand and empathize without judgment, which has made a huge difference in my journey. His expertise and dedication are evident in every session, and I leave each one feeling more empowered and equipped to face my challenges.

Dominic is fantastic, I’ve had 15 or so sessions with him now and his calm and respectful manner gives you complete confidence in his ability to pick up on themes and the relevant advice he gives. He is totally honest and I look forward to speaking with him on my journey every week. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to recommend Dominic and the work he does. It’s been incredibly helpful and enlightening on how I live my life and thinking that goes on within it.

Dominic is an amazing therapist. I felt safe and appreciated from the very first minute. This is my first experience in therapy and Dom makes it easy and approachable for me. I would highly recommend him to anybody. Already after the first two weeks I felt like making big steps in understanding myself and my problems better and becoming able to overcome a lot of them.

Amazingly easy for me to talk with. Established immediate rapport. Kind, understanding, approachable but challenges your premise as needed. I look forward to each session.

Dom is an excellent therapist and great guy. He helped me work through a lot of frustrating stuff. Since talking to him I’ve improved on my situation. He is a kind hearted family man with a fun sense of humor and warm demeanor. Dom is helpful at talking things through and having me see the big picture while also giving strategies on self improvement both physically and mentally. I would highly recommend Dom as a doctor as he is an all around great guy and therapist.

I am a person of color living in Germany. I wanted to begin therapy, but I was always hesitant as I wanted to find someone whom I felt I could connect with so I felt comfortable expressing myself. Dominic was precisely what I was looking for. His insight has allowed me to confront childhood issues I had suppressed that are prevalent in the African-American community. I'm incredibly pleased with the care I have received, and my friends and family always comment on how much healthier and happier I am since I started therapy with Domnic.

He is calm, wise and extremely supportive. I have been improving since I started working with Dom.
Also, don’t worry if you feel that you are missing something to mention or flag to him. He is very good at spotting issues that you need to work on very quickly.

Dom helped me a lot.
He gave a perspective and view into myself. This helped me understand and digest my feelings and thoughts. Dom made me feel like myself again.
He truly helped me become me again and for that I am grateful.
Written on Mar 19, 2023 after therapy with Dominic for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, and self esteem
When I started with Dom a few months back, I very quickly felt comfortable, understood, listened to. Dom has been a fantastic support in my therapy journey. He has always managed to get to the root of the things I tend to avoid, his favourite question being "who does it remind you off?". There's no judgement, just pure understanding and compassion!
Dom provides a very safe and inviting space to allow me to speak, feel the emotions that surfaces at the time, curse, cry and laugh (sometimes all in one session).
I would absolutely recommend Dom to any of my friends looking for help.

Really appreciate the help from Dominic in such a short time. Very genuine and open minded approach to the sessions.
Written on Nov 06, 2022 after therapy with Dominic for 1 week on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, self esteem, and adhd
Dom has been incredibly understanding and empathetic, and has provided me with a no pressure environment to discuss whatever is bothering me at the time, I have struggled with a lot of issues over the past few months, but I've always walked away from these sessions feeling much better than before they start, even on bad days. I can only say good things about him. When I initially started therapy I was anxious that I wouldn't be able to communicate with my therapist well but Dom was incredibly friendly and I immediately felt welcome and understood.
