About Luke

Luke Faiers is a counsellor who draws on client-centred, cognitive behavioural, and existential ideas to help people manage strong emotions. He focuses on practical steps for stress, anxiety, anger and grief. Luke aims to make the first step into therapy feel easier and less daunting for anyone reaching out.

He creates a calm space for people to talk about painful experiences and difficult feelings. Sessions focus on what matters to the client now, such as coping with loss, parenting pressures, or trauma reactions. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at helping people make sense of things and try different ways of responding.

Luke has four years of professional experience working with people facing addiction, relationship problems, sleep and eating concerns, and issues around self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with attachment and abandonment worries, impulsivity, isolation, and the aftermath of separation.

His way of working mixes active problem-solving with listening. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and test small behaviour changes. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the session focused on the person’s own goals and priorities. Existential ideas are used to discuss meaning, values and big life questions when these come up.

Luke is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He offers services from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to therapist availability.

How these approaches work for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s agenda, helping them voice what matters most and decide next steps. It suits people who need a supportive space to make sense of difficult feelings and pressures.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect, and uses small experiments to try different responses. It is useful for anxiety, anger, sleep problems and patterns that cause distress.

Existential Therapy encourages talking about values, purpose and difficult life choices. It can help when questions about meaning, commitment or major change are creating distress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Luke will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree a plan together. This collaborative process means methods can shift over time as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. One practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy schedule, such as taking a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. Online work can also make it easier to try different exercises together, track progress between sessions, and use screen-sharing for worksheets when helpful. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt their way of working to suit everyday life and commitments.
