Dominic Kelleher, BACP

Dominic Kelleher is a counsellor who supports carers and other adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and life changes. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and consider next steps. Dominic uses clear, direct language to keep conversations straightforward and practical.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Dominic has worked with over 100 people worldwide and has delivered more than 1,000 sessions during his career so far. He is based in the United Kingdom and welcomes people from different cultural backgrounds.

Dominic follows a client-centred approach. That means sessions focus on the person’s experience and goals rather than following a rigid plan. He listens, reflects, and asks questions that help people make sense of their feelings and choices.

Common topics Dominic supports include coping with caregiving stress, managing chronic illness or pain, navigating relationship and communication problems, and dealing with career or self-esteem concerns. He also works with issues related to attachment, abandonment and recovery from substance problems.

Sessions aim to be practical and paced to each person. Dominic encourages people to set small, manageable goals and to notice gradual changes over time. He invites curious, committed people who want to understand themselves better and try new ways of coping.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. Dominic aims to create an accepting space where a person can talk through feelings, explore relationship or caregiver stress, and decide what they want to change. This approach helps when someone needs support with anxiety, self-esteem or coping with life transitions.

In practice this means the counsellor asks open questions, reflects what is said, and helps the person notice patterns and options. Sessions are paced to the individual and centred on their goals rather than on a fixed programme. That makes it useful for people who prefer to work through issues at their own speed and try practical steps between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dominic will discuss how client-centred work can fit the person's needs and adapt sessions as understanding grows. He aims to match methods to goals, preferences and the problems brought to therapy.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings during work breaks or from another convenient location. It can also suit people needing shorter check-ins or who prefer not to be on camera every time.
