My name’s Dominic, and I am a fully qualified person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist with thousands of hours of clinical experience in the voluntary sector and in private practice, working with teenagers and adults with a variety of presentations. My specialities include depression, anxiety, self-esteem, autism/ADHD, gender dysphoria and borderline personality disorder. In addition, my clinical experience also covers sexuality and bereavement.

I graduated from the University of Nottingham with a First-Class degree in Humanistic Counselling Practice; specifically person-centred psychology. After qualifying as a counsellor, I was shortly thereafter awarded a Master of Arts degree in Criminology from Nottingham Trent University.

I have continued to hone my craft and passion through ongoing professional development training and regular monthly supervision. I have undertaken further postgraduate training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based approach that neatly aligns with my professional and personal values.

In 2027, my goal will be to expand my practice by taking courses in Gender, Sex, and Relationship Therapy (GSRD), ensuring continued, informed, high-quality care for gender, sexual and relationship minorities. I will also be starting a postgraduate course in psychosexual therapy to help individuals and couples. Finally, I plan to get another Master’s degree in counselling and psychotherapy research.

My primary academic interests include the therapeutic properties and applications of cognitive-emotional defusion, mindfulness, unconditional positive regard, and self-compassion.
