About Kristi

Kristi Domeney is a BACP counsellor who helps parents and carers who feel overwhelmed by family stress and parenting challenges. She writes plainly and listens closely, offering calm support when life becomes hard to manage. Her work is practical and focused on real day-to-day problems parents face.

She draws on her background in child and adolescent psychotherapy gained in primary and secondary school settings. That experience means she understands typical school-age pressures, attachment worries and the strain of caring for children who have experienced trauma or foster care.

Background and approach

She also has additional training to support neurodiverse people and uses a range of practical tools. Sessions can include talking, creative activities and simple regulation techniques to reduce anxiety in the moment.

Kristi offers both short and longer-term agreements depending on what a family needs, and she aims to build a steady, reflective space where parents can learn new ways to respond to stressful moments. Her approach is rooted in helping people notice relational patterns and feel less alone with parenting strain.

She works with issues such as anxiety, stress, grief, post-traumatic stress and the particular pressures around pregnancy and early parenthood. Kristi practices in the United Kingdom and carries four years of clinical experience. Conversations take place in English and she is not currently working with international clients.

Practical online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape responses to stress and parenting. Online sessions can explore those patterns through talk and reflective exercises, helping parents notice what they repeat and try new responses.

Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping clients lead the conversation. In remote sessions this often means the therapist follows the parent's priorities and offers gentle feedback and practical next steps for everyday parenting struggles.

Psychodynamic ideas can help name patterns that come from past relationships and link them to current family situations. Online therapy allows time to reflect on these links and try different ways of responding between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day realities and then agree on methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging give practical flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone calls suit quieter audio-only check-ins, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help parents fit therapy into busy routines and access support from home or work without travel.
