About me
"I offer a kind, compassionate space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and begin to make sense of your experiences. Whether you’re facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, bereavement, or low self-esteem, you don’t have to go through it alone. I’ll support you in finding practical ways to feel calmer, stronger, and more connected in your daily life"
I’m Luke, an accredited counsellor (MBACP, Accred) and EMDR therapist (PG Cert) (EMDRUK) with over 18 years of experience supporting people with their mental health. Alongside my private practice, I have experience within the NHS in staff support and clinical health psychology, and as a lecturer in counselling studies. These roles have shown me both the courage it takes to reach out — and the real change that’s possible when people feel truly heard and supported.
I offer sessions face-to-face in Stourbridge or online. To start with, I offer a complimentary 20-minute phone consultation, allowing you to share your thoughts and determine if I’m the right fit for you. The quickest way to reach me is through the contact form on this page, my website, or by email — I always aim to reply the same day (please check your junk folder if you don’t see my response). If you prefer to call, you’re welcome to leave a message, and I’ll get back to you within 24 hours.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you as you work towards lasting, positive change.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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
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.
