Welcome to Dom McMurray Counselling
Are you soldiering on?
Hello, I’m Dom, a qualified Counsellor offering therapy for men.
Men’s mental health is complex, as a man in today’s world you may be feeling overwhelmed; struggling with burnout from work, financial pressures, strained relationships, expectations of fatherhood, feelings of inadequacy, body image and low self-esteem. The effort to hold it all together can cause stress, anxiety and depression which in turn may lead to coping strategies such as alcohol or substance abuse.
And as a man you might feel you have to cope in silence conditioned by traditional concepts of masculinity to endure, stifle your emotions and be strong. This can hinder your ability to express emotions and make seeking help seem like weakness.
Counselling provides a secure place to unpack these issues without judgement. Making sense of the pressures you're under can redefine what being a 'man' means to you and help you understand how you’re really doing. In therapy you can also develop practical tools to help manage stress, lessen the load and find some relief.

My Fees and Locations
I charge £55 for both online or in person sessions, payable in advance each week.
I offer an initial consultation session at a reduced rate of £45.
I can see clients in-person in Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge and Maidstone. In each location my counselling rooms are comfortable, quiet spaces and all are centrally located close to public transport. My Maidstone rooms are fully accessible.
I work online with clients via Google Meet which I find to be very user friendly and does not require you to download an app. I will send a link prior to the session.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long are sessions?
Sessions are 50 minutes and we will meet once each week at the same time on the same day.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no maximum and everyone has different needs. I recommend making a commitment of 6 or 12 weekly sessions, and then review our work together. You may decide this is sufficient or you may choose to continue on an open-ended basis. As with all aspects of counselling this is your decision.
What can I expect in my first session?
It is perfectly natural to feel a little apprehensive about beginning therapy. Our first session will be an initial assessment during which we will explore your needs and goals and I will outline what you can expect from me. This meeting is a chance for us to understand each other better and agree how we will work together. After the first session you are under no obligation to continue.
What is the cancellation policy?
I kindly request a minimum of 48 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. With sufficient notice, I can accommodate rescheduling based on availability. The session will be charged at the full rate for cancellations made with less than 48 hours' notice.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No. I work on a self-referral basis but am happy to accept GP referrals if appropriate.
