Kristi Domeney , BACP

Kristi Domeney is a BACP-registered child and adolescent psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who works across primary and secondary school settings and with PCN clients. She brings four years of clinical experience supporting young people and their parents, offering tailored interventions for children and young adults aged 5 to 25.

She has particular expertise in anxiety, stress, self-harm, trauma and abuse, attachment difficulties, and supporting children in foster care. Kristi also has further training to support neurodiverse individuals and uses multiple tools, including the PANDA approach, to adapt support to each person’s needs.

Her practice emphasises a kind, reflective environment where art and play are integrated into therapy when helpful. She offers both short and long term therapy contracts depending on the presenting needs, and works collaboratively to teach coping strategies and regulation techniques for moments of heightened anxiety or dysregulation.

Kristi recognises that family struggles can feel lonely and overwhelming. She encourages reaching out for support as a first step toward positive change and works with families and individuals to find practical, empathic ways forward. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Kristi uses evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early patterns of connection - it helps clients and families address attachment issues, foster secure bonds, and work through relational impacts of trauma or separation. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process and emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration - this approach supports self-exploration, confidence building, and managing anxiety or life changes. Psychodynamic Therapy explores unconscious patterns and early experiences that shape current feelings and behaviours - it can be useful for understanding recurring relationship difficulties, grief, and deeper emotional conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Kristi works collaboratively with clients and caregivers to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible match.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around school, work, and family commitments, and allow continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals and therapists can effectively use these formats to deliver structured, compassionate support tailored to each client.
