Dominique Phillips
Practical support for stress and relationship strain
About Dominique
Dominique Phillips helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, sleeping problems and career stress. Dominique also works with those facing identity and sexual culture questions, ADHD concerns, and the strain that comes from caregiving.
She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as making room to understand emotions.
Background and approach
The aim is to help people make manageable changes, one small step at a time. Dominique has eight years of professional experience and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Her background means she is used to supporting people through big life changes such as bereavement, divorce and fertility struggles, alongside ongoing issues like low self-esteem and body image. Her approach is collaborative. She works with each person to decide what matters most and which methods will help.
Dominique adapts her pace to fit how someone prefers to work and what they need in the moment. In sessions she will listen closely, reflect what she hears and offer practical strategies to try between meetings. The focus is on realistic goals and building skills people can use in daily life.
This makes therapy useful for both immediate problems and longer term change.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dominique draws on evidence-based techniques that help people manage emotions and build new habits. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method helps people spot thoughts that keep them stuck and practise different responses.Another approach pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns. It helps people understand why they relate to others in certain ways and try new ways of communicating or setting boundaries. This can be useful for commitment issues, blended family tensions and communication problems.
Finding the right way of working is collaborative. Dominique will talk about options, listen to what feels comfortable and adjust methods as therapy progresses. Together they set goals and check what helps most for each person’s situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use body language and longer conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief daily support, or need to fit sessions into busy schedules. All formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments.
