About Luke
Luke Thompson is a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' practical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem and the practical fallout from grief and life changes. He also supports those dealing with trauma, intimacy concerns, anger and work-related strain.
Luke frames sessions around emotions and attachment. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside cognitive behavioural ideas, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and person-centred approaches. Sessions are conversational and direct, with a clear focus on feeling, naming emotions and noticing how patterns show up in daily life.
In practice he helps people talk through shame, people-pleasing and feeling not good enough. He offers space to work on abandonment, attachment wounds and codependency. He also covers practical concerns such as communication problems, commitment worries, and blending the stresses of caregiving or illness into everyday life.
Luke draws on his own lived experience of anxiety, depression and bereavement to connect with the practical realities of distress. He aims to be an engaged companion in sessions rather than a distant expert, and he brings a straightforward manner to emotional work. Expect honest conversation, occasional strong emotion, and collaborative problem-solving.
Outside therapy he enjoys creative hobbies and gaming, and has lived in multiple countries. If someone wants to explore whether his way of working fits, the next step is a short matching questionnaire and then arranging a first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Luke uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people identify and work with strong emotions that are hard to name. EFT sessions tend to focus on attachment patterns and the way feelings shape relationships and behaviour. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that align with a person’s values; it is often useful for anxiety, avoidance and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Luke will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative choice helps shape how sessions are structured and what techniques are used.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a break, or letting someone join without needing extra equipment. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, use online work to keep therapy practical and accessible while focusing on emotional exploration and real-life problem-solving.
