About Dominique Caesar
Dominique Caesar (they/them) is a trans, autistic, queer social worker who brings lived experience and professional practice together to support adults and young people. They combine warmth, pragmatism, and direct honesty to create a space that respects each person’s values and lived reality. Dominique specialises in telehealth work guided by neuroaffirming principles, peer connection, and a commitment to systemic justice, and they describe their way of working as grounded and non-judgmental.
They offer practical help with self-understanding, problem-solving, and strategies that fit daily life rather than relying on pathologising labels. Dominique supports people exploring neurodivergence, including autism and ADHD, with a focus on self-advocacy and burnout prevention and recovery. They also work with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, depression, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and a wide range of sexuality and gender matters, including kink-informed care and gender dysphoria. Dominique helps clients navigate complex systems such as NDIS, housing, education, and workplaces, and they support people in building peer networks and practical advocacy skills.
Alongside counselling, Dominique has spent years advocating in community and systemic settings: supporting neurodivergent young people to build peer networks, defending tenants’ rights, advocating with NDIS participants to reclaim choice and control, and mentoring emerging social and peer workers to centre lived experience. They emphasise collaboration over treating or pathologising, and aim to help people exist authentically in systems that were not designed for them. Dominique holds the AASW credential, a recognised social work qualification in Australia, and brings eight years of experience across community, clinical, and systemic settings.
They currently offer sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 10am and 5pm AEST.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes, research supports that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care.One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the way of connecting that suits them best, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, maintain continuity of care, and access support from different locations.
Licensed professionals and therapists deliver online sessions, and clients are free to change therapists if they need a different fit. For many people, remote therapy offers practical access to consistent, values-aligned support without sacrificing the collaborative, evidence-informed approaches used in in-person work.
