About Luke
Luke Thompson is a counsellor who focuses on relationships, depression and a range of anxiety issues. He uses a straightforward, human approach and aims to be a present companion as people work through painful feelings and life changes. He describes therapy as a space for honest emotion, including anger, grief and shame, and values building a trusting connection during sessions.
Luke practises several well known approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Client-Centred Therapy.
Background and approach
He blends these ways of working to fit what each person brings to sessions. That might mean noticing patterns in thoughts, tracking emotional responses, or exploring how early relationships shape present difficulties. His areas of focus include stress, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, bereavement, trauma and abuse, and coping with life transitions.
He also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, dissociation and caregiver stress. He names LGBT concerns and career or coaching questions among his interests. Luke has four years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
He speaks English and works with people in the United Kingdom, and he accepts international clients. Sessions operate via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
This helps match practical needs with the therapeutic approach before sessions begin.

How Luke works online
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections and emotional reactions. This approach is useful for intimacy-related issues, abandonment feelings and problems with trust or closeness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Luke will discuss different ways of working and help decide what best fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can shift as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time so therapy can be easier to attend. Online work can also make short check-ins or regular weekly meetings simpler to maintain around work or caregiving commitments. The biography does not list specific formats, so confirm the available session types before booking to make sure they suit your routine and needs.
