More about Luke

  • 5 years' experience
  • Male
  • NCPS

Clients often tell me they value having a space to offload, slow down, make sense of what they’re feeling, and break things down into manageable steps. I’m Luke, an accredited counsellor, and I offer a safe, understanding space where you can explore what’s been weighing on you and find ways to move forward at your pace and in a way that feels right for you.

Therapy with me can be warm and reflective, gently challenging and goal focused, or creative and explorative, depending on what you need. I’ll meet you where you are.

I’m particularly interested in how our relationships, with others and ourselves, shape our lives. I use a flexible, integrative approach, drawing from coaching, Compassionate Inquiry, person centred therapy, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and relational work to support you in building self awareness, exploring patterns, finding clarity, or developing coping strategies.

I also bring lived experience as a gay, neurodivergent (ADHD, dyslexic) person, and I know how important it is to feel understood and accepted, especially when life feels overwhelming.

In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other, your interests, your work, what you’re going through, and what you might like from therapy. No pressure, just a space for you to be you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
