Welcome to Dom’s Therapeutic Counselling
Finding the right therapist can feel like an important and sometimes daunting step. I aim to offer a safe, calm and welcoming place where you can talk openly, be heard and begin to make sense of what you are going through. I provide counselling in Cornwall, as well as therapy online across the United Kingdom, so you can access support in a way that suits you. Therapy is your time, at your pace, and always focused on what matters most to you.
My philosophy is rooted in the belief that every individual has the capacity for growth, healing and meaningful change. No two journeys are the same. You may be navigating life’s transitions, processing difficult emotions such as anxiety or depression, working through relationship difficulties or seeking clarity and connection. Counselling offers a compassionate and non-judgemental environment where you can explore who you are, uncover your strengths and find new ways forward that feel right for you.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I place safety, choice and empowerment at the centre of our work together. My role is to walk alongside you, providing guidance and support while respecting your autonomy and choices. Together, we will reflect on your experiences, take meaningful steps towards change and explore new perspectives. Therapy can sometimes involve gentle challenges as well as support, helping you to grow in ways that feel collaborative, empowering and true to your journey.
Support Through Life’s Challenges
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. Anxiety, the fog of depression, difficulties in relationships or the lasting impact of past trauma can leave you feeling stuck, exhausted and unsure of where to turn.
These experiences can affect every part of daily life. Concentration may slip, sleep can become restless, and even simple decisions might feel impossible. Relationships may feel tense or distant, work can feel unmanageable, and moments that should bring joy instead feel clouded by worry, sadness or self-doubt.
It is natural to feel lost at times, to question your next steps or to wonder how things became so heavy. These feelings do not mean you are failing. They are a human response to the pressures and complexities of life, and many people go through similar struggles even if they do not often speak about them.
Trauma and Emotional Wellbeing
Experiences such as trauma, Complex PTSD, autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression or shame can deeply affect how you feel about yourself and the world around you. These challenges can leave you feeling unsafe, stuck or overwhelmed even when you are doing your best to carry on.
They can touch every part of life, making relationships harder to navigate, work or study more stressful and day-to-day situations feel exhausting. It may be difficult to trust others, to feel connected or to find moments of peace when your mind and body are on high alert.
In therapy we begin with safety and stabilisation. That might mean learning grounding techniques, finding ways to manage strong emotions or simply having a calm space where you can be heard without judgement. From there we can explore your experiences at a pace that feels right for you, building self-awareness, resilience and self-acceptance along the way.
You do not have to go through this on your own. With the right support it is possible to create more balance, feel more grounded and move towards a life that feels safer and more connected.
