About me

Hi, my name is Luke and I believe we should all have the opportunity to have a safe space where we are able to share our thoughts and feelings, at our own pace. I understand taking that first step towards this, can at times, often feel overwhelming.

What is it like for you to be heard, understood and accepted for who you are?

Maybe you experience anxiety, depression, or have challenging personal relationships which can cause low self-esteem. 

How counselling can help you

When we take the time to understand ourselves on a deeper level, we allow ourselves to grow in confidence and self-esteem, gaining a better understanding of our lives, relationships and our sense of self.

Through our sessions together, we can begin to understand what is causing you to feel stuck, anxious, or worried. Helping you create a brighter path forward, that feels manageable and safe. Helping you to live your life in a healthier and happier way. 

I offer a warm welcome to clients who identify within the LGBTQIA+ community. And I offer a trans- affirmative practice. I am grateful to work with a wide diversity of clients. In addition to those who are unsure and/or questioning. 

Our next steps together

If you would like to have a chat with me before booking a session, I offer a free 20 minute space where you are able to ask any questions you may have regarding the process of therapy and how I work. I will also go through a few questions with you, to get a better picture of what is currently going on for you.

You are able to contact me by phone, or alternatively feel free to take a look at my website. You are also able to contact me via the 'contact' option here on counselling directory.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
