About Luke

Luke Faiers is a counsellor who uses a person-focused approach to help people who are anxious, stressed or facing loss. He aims to make first steps feel manageable. He keeps conversations grounded and straightforward so parents can read quickly and decide if he might be the right fit.

Luke draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a trusting space where people can talk without judgement. He also works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Existential Therapy is part of his practice too and helps people think about meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels uncertain.

His work has covered stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, plus relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people dealing with addictions, sleeping and eating concerns, parenting strain, low self-esteem and career changes. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, communication and control problems, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.

Luke holds BACP accreditation, which is noted as a professional credential. He has four years of experience working in the field and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are carried out in English.

Luke invites people to take a small first step and talk through what is most pressing. He works collaboratively to set goals and plans that fit each person’s life and priorities.

How his approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering warmth, understanding and a non-judgemental space, which can help someone feel heard online as well as in person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and often uses practical exercises that can be done between sessions. Existential Therapy explores meaning, values and choice when life feels challenging, helping people clarify what matters to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree a plan. That collaborative process helps decide which mix of approaches to use and how to pace sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow concise check-ins when only a short break is available. It also supports doing written exercises, behavioural experiments and between-session practice without altering the therapeutic aims.
