About Luke
Luke Thompson is a counsellor who uses relational and emotion-focused ways of working. He centres sessions on the therapeutic relationship and helps people face anxiety, depression and relationship strain. He also supports people coping with grief, low self-esteem and life changes. Luke holds BACP accreditation, which he carries as a professional credential.
Luke describes therapy as a shared process. Sessions focus on feelings, habits and behaviours that cause pain. He aims to bring empathy, honesty and a no-judgement stance so people feel able to say hard things out loud.
He draws on several approaches, including Attachment-Based work, Emotionally-Focused ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. That mix helps him use what seems most useful in the moment - talking through painful memories, noticing patterns, and trying new ways of responding.
Luke is open about his own experience with anxiety, depression and grief. He uses that lived perspective to normalise difficult emotions and to sit alongside people while they make sense of things. He emphasizes being a present companion rather than a distant expert.
Outside therapy he enjoys creative projects, gaming and exploring new places, having lived in three countries. He accepts international clients and works in English. To begin, people are invited to start the short matching process and schedule sessions through the service.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters to someone and small actions that align with those values, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current trust and closeness. Online sessions can explore these patterns by talking through relational memories and practising new ways of connecting in everyday life. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening, empathy and the therapeutic relationship. This approach supports people who need a steady, non-judgemental space to process grief, shame or self-esteem struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together choose methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process can change over time as priorities shift and new difficulties arise.
Session logistics should be checked before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel and can reduce time spent on commuting. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by audio when they do not want to be on camera, while others find video helpful for feeling seen. Confirm current session options so practical arrangements match everyday life.
