Dominique Phillips

I draw on psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, person-centred therapy, and attachment theory. I also use relational ideas. I also draw on compassion-focused therapy. I integrate them, and I work with you to find what suits your needs and your goals.

The relationship between us is where the work happens.

If you get in touch, we can arrange a 15-minute conversation to see whether working together feels like a good fit. I would like to hear what is bringing you to therapy now.

I work with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or confused, or who are finding a part of life hard to manage. The difficulties I have sat with include anxiety, low mood, relationship challenges, stress, self-esteem, work, and transitions in life.

I am a humanistic and integrative psychotherapist, so I bring more than one way of looking at a problem and I fit those ways to you. In the session I keep the relationship between us at the centre.

Before the practice I worked in a number of non-profit, voluntary, and research roles in the mental health sector. Those roles deepened how I understand the things that influence mental health, and the different approaches that can support it. The therapy itself stays humanistic and integrative: we use what fits your needs and your goals, and we keep coming back to the relationship between us.
