About Luke
Luke Thompson is a counsellor who focuses on relationships, anxiety and depression. He speaks plainly and aims to be a present companion during difficult times. He brings personal experience of anxiety, grief and feeling 'not enough' into his work to normalise clients' reactions.
Luke uses a mix of talking approaches rooted in attachment ideas, emotional work and cognitive methods. Sessions centre on what the client feels and how those feelings affect behaviour.
Background and approach
He encourages honest, no-judgement conversation so people can face painful parts of their life together. Therapy with Luke is active rather than passive. He joins clients in the room, sharing empathy and straightforward feedback while helping people notice patterns.
This includes working with shame, low self-esteem and people-pleasing, and learning ways to act differently when old habits appear. He also helps people through bereavement, breakups and major life changes. Practical concerns such as career strain, compassion fatigue and the fallout from trauma or abuse are part of his usual work.
He names attachment, abandonment and communication issues where they matter to a person’s difficulty. Luke trained as a BACP counsellor and has four years of professional experience. He enjoys creative hobbies and travel, and often draws on relational and human-centred ideas to build connection.
He welcomes conversations from people curious about how therapy might help them.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try different ways of working. This is a collaborative process where the client and therapist decide together which methods fit best for the issue at hand.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need flexible access between other commitments. These options make therapy more adaptable around work, caring duties and travel.
