About Kristi
BACP. 4 years' experience. Kristi Domeney works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and coping with life changes. She describes her practice in child and adolescent therapy terms and uses art and play alongside talking therapies.
Kristi works within primary and secondary school settings and with Primary Care Network clients. She has experience supporting people aged about 5 to 25 and their parents with anxiety, stress, self-harm, trauma, abuse and attachment difficulties. She also has experience with children in foster care and with neurodiverse individuals.
Her approach uses art and play where helpful, and she offers both short and long term counselling contracts depending on need. She also teaches practical coping skills for moments of dysregulation and anxiety.
Kristi mentions use of multiple tools for neurodiverse clients, including the PANDA approach. She uses Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Psychodynamic methods in her work and adapts the mix to what each person needs.
Parents and carers often contact her about family problems, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress and pregnancy or childbirth related issues. She also lists support for social anxiety, self-love, avoidant and dependent personality patterns, and young adult issues.
Her work is described in straightforward terms: reflective sessions that include creative activities when useful, paired with practical coping techniques for anxiety and dysregulation.
How her approaches shape remote counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings and behaviour; it can help with attachment difficulties, family problems and post-traumatic stress. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre, using listening and reflection to support self-understanding and decision making. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns and past influences that repeat in current life, which can be useful for chronic relationship or personality-related concerns.Working out which approach fits best is part of the work. The counsellor and client review needs, goals and preferences together and decide whether to use play and creative methods, coping skills, or more reflective psychodynamic work. This is a collaborative process and may change as needs change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or phone sessions if video is difficult, but the exact options should be checked with the service when arranging appointments.
