About Dominic
Counsellor Dominic Kelleher is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years' experience. He works with adults and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, career concerns and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients while based in the United Kingdom.
Dominic uses a client-centred way of working. That means he aims to listen without judgement and follow what matters to the person in front of him. Sessions often begin by talking about what is most urgent, and then looking at patterns that keep difficult feelings or situations in place.
He has worked across different countries and brings that international experience into sessions. This helps when cultural differences or moving between places have added strain. Dominic notes common themes such as attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment problems, and stress related to caregiving or chronic illness.
Practical matters are covered in straightforward terms. Discussions can include coping strategies for anxiety, ways to manage relationship conflict, and looking at self-worth and body image. He also addresses issues connected to substance use, divorce, domestic violence and forgiveness when they come up.
Therapy is collaborative. Dominic helps people notice unhelpful patterns and find alternatives that suit their life. Before booking, clients are asked to use the service's matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session through the online counselling options button.
How Dominic uses client-centred work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client brings. The counsellor offers an accepting, non-judgemental stance and follows the client's priorities. This approach suits people facing anxiety, relationship strain, self-esteem problems and life changes.Dominic's work can also address attachment and abandonment issues by paying attention to how past relationships affect present feelings. Conversations aim to identify patterns in relationships and provide space to try different ways of relating. That can help with communication problems, commitment worries and fatherhood-related concerns when they arise.
Finding the right approach usually happens together. Dominic will check what the client needs and prefers, then adapt the client-centred way to fit those goals. He treats this as a collaborative process and reviews progress as therapy continues.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins, or sessions that avoid video if that suits someone better. Ask about timings and practical arrangements when you complete the matching questionnaire.
