About Luke
Luke Thompson offers a warm, direct approach to therapy that centres on relationship and emotional work. He focuses on depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties, and brings honesty and empathy to each session. Luke is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years of experience working with people facing grief, trauma, life changes and LGBT concerns.
Luke describes his practice as rooted in attachment ideas, emotion-focused thinking and cognitive approaches, mixed with person-centred values. Sessions focus on the client’s feelings and on what happens between people in relationships. The work often looks at shame, people-pleasing, and patterns that leave someone feeling not enough.
He aims to be an active companion rather than a detached expert. That means being present, honest and human in the room, and helping people to name painful emotions and make sense of them together. Practical tools are used alongside exploring feelings, so sessions can include both talking and exercises to try between meetings.
Luke draws on his own experience of anxiety, depression and bereavement to normalise difficult reactions. He emphasises connection and meaning as parts of healing, while accepting that the process can be messy and emotional. He also mentions interests outside work including gaming and creative activities, which he uses to relate to clients as a fellow human.

How Luke's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what they value and take action towards it even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and issues around meaning and commitment. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how these shape responses to stress and intimacy; it is useful for relationship struggles and attachment concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgemental, empathic space where the person sets the pace and direction of the work, which can help with self-esteem and emotional processing.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Luke will explore your needs, goals and preferences alongside you and adapt methods as therapy progresses. The focus is collaborative - deciding together what helps and adjusting if something is not working.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and quicker access when travel is difficult. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, please confirm current online options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can work effectively by sharing exercises, reflecting on emotions and setting tasks between sessions, so online work can support both short-term coping and deeper relational change.
