About Luke

Luke Faiers is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, parenting concerns and related issues. Sessions use clear, direct talk rather than jargon. Luke aims to help people sort through what is happening at home and at work so they can make practical changes.

He draws on client-centred work to create a straightforward, person-led conversation. That means the client’s priorities guide each session and the therapist listens closely to what matters most. Luke also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice patterns of thinking and try small behaviour experiments that can reduce anxiety or improve sleep.

Existential approaches are used when people are stuck on questions about meaning, commitment or identity. Those sessions look at values, choices and how past experiences shape present decisions. Luke keeps the focus on practical next steps as well as the bigger questions.

His background includes supporting people with addiction, relationship strain, parenting stress, body image and anger. He also works with issues such as attachment concerns, divorce and separation, and coping with loneliness. That range means sessions often combine short-term coping tools with longer conversations about life direction.

To begin, readers are asked to follow the site’s process for matching and booking. The first meeting is used to set goals and agree how sessions will proceed together.

How sessions work

How Luke’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions with this approach keep the agenda focused on the client’s priorities and practical problems at home or work.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. In remote sessions, CBT often uses short exercises between meetings and simple behaviour experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or change unhelpful habits.

Existential Therapy examines values, choice and meaning. When these issues come up in online conversations, sessions may combine reflection on life direction with concrete next steps to test out changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Luke will discuss different methods and agree a plan with the client based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and it can change as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available ways to meet before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work or other commitments, and it can suit shorter check-ins as well as longer conversations. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use remote sessions to help people bring changes into everyday life without requiring travel.
