About Dominique
Dominique Caesar is an AASW social worker who offers grounded, practical counselling with a focus on living authentically. They use clear, direct conversation and practical problem-solving to help people manage overwhelming moments and rebuild a sense of control. Dominique presents as warm and straightforward, aiming to make sessions useful from the first meeting.
They work with adults and young people who want support that fits their values and life. Dominique centres lived experience and systemic awareness in their approach, especially around neurodivergence and queer identities. They describe their style as non-judgemental, pragmatic, and attentive to small but important details.
Dominique brings eight years of experience across community, clinical, and advocacy roles. That background includes supporting neurodivergent young people to form peer networks, advocating for tenants, and working alongside National Disability Insurance Scheme participants. They also mentor other social workers and peer workers to keep lived experience visible in practice.
In sessions Dominique focuses on self-understanding, practical problem-solving, and strategies to manage burnout. They support exploration of gender and sexual identity, neurodivergence, and navigating systems such as housing, NDIS, or workplaces. Conversations aim to break problems into actionable steps rather than pathologise feelings.
Dominique emphasises collaboration rather than treating or fixing people. They help clients develop self-advocacy skills, plan realistic day-to-day supports, and work through relationship and mood concerns including panic and anxiety. Sessions are offered during set weekday hours and are suited to people wanting pragmatic, justice-oriented counselling.
