Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Supervisor
Dominic is Clinical Director at Catalyst Counselling, the not-for-profit provider of low-cost counselling incorporating a high-quality psychodynamic training based in Lowestoft. He has a background of over 20 years in student support, most recently as manager of a busy counselling and mental health service at a central London university.
With a first career as a leading practitioner in creative writing in health and social care settings, Dominic is currently Editor of ‘Open Space’, a popular feature of the journal Psychodynamic Practice, which publishes international research articles alongside reflective papers often linking psychoanalysis to the arts and culture. He holds a practice-based PhD in Creative Writing and has most recently authored the article ‘Citizen thinking and the social value of psychotherapy’ (in Psychodynamic Practice, 2025).
Dominic is committed to enabling the depth of understanding that psychodynamic therapy can bring and as a supervisor to supporting the development of trainees from diverse backgrounds across the region. The connection between psychotherapy and education has been a thread throughout his working life, touching on questions of how we can be motivated to change, and yet become stuck or resistant to new ideas, and how we lose and recover our creative capacity as individuals, groups and organisations.
