About Dominique
Dominique Caesar is a non-binary social worker who brings practical, person-centred support to work and wellbeing concerns. They use straightforward conversations to help people understand themselves, solve problems, and make everyday life more manageable. Dominique names their AASW credential in their practice and draws on eight years of hands-on experience in community and clinical settings.
They focus on concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and grief. Dominique also supports people exploring sexuality, gender, and LGBT-related issues. Their way of working is warm and direct, with an emphasis on lived experience and real-world strategies rather than medical labels.
Dominique has a background in advocacy and community work. They have supported neurodivergent young people to build peer networks and worked alongside unhoused community members in tenancy and tribunal settings. This experience shapes a practice that notices system-level barriers and practical needs.
Sessions often include problem-solving, building self-advocacy skills, and unpacking burnout or compassion fatigue. Dominique describes their approach as neuroaffirming and grounded in disability and community justice ideas, which can help people who want therapy that respects their identity and values.
They aim to collaborate rather than pathologise, helping clients reclaim choice and control. Dominique also mentors emerging social workers and peer workers, bringing that reflective lens into sessions. For practical matters, they schedule sessions during weekday daytime hours and ask prospective clients to check current session options before booking.
Therapeutic approaches and online support that focus on everyday life
Dominique emphasises approaches that centre lived experience and practical skills. One common strand in their work is problem-solving that breaks challenges into small, workable steps; this helps with overwhelm, decision-making and managing day-to-day demands. Another key element is neuroaffirming practice, which involves recognising neurodivergence, building self-advocacy skills and creating strategies to reduce burnout and improve functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dominique collaborates with each person to test what fits their needs, goals and values. They adapt methods as clients learn what helps, working together to set realistic goals and adjust strategies over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and caring responsibilities, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to involve advocacy or system navigation homework between meetings. Talk with Dominique about what will fit your routine and needs, and they will help arrange sessions that suit your circumstances.
