Luke Stevenson, BACP

Luke Stevenson helps people facing anxiety, low mood, stress and relationship problems. He supports those dealing with trauma, issues around identity and LGBT concerns, as well as practical struggles like sleep, work stress and life changes. Luke is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience working in the UK.

He adopts a person-focused style that aims to make therapy feel collaborative and straightforward. Sessions concentrate on what the person wants to change and on small, practical steps. He combines talking work with attention to how thoughts and feelings show up in the body and daily life.

Luke uses approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy to help people understand patterns from their past. He also draws on Mindfulness and Solution-Focused ideas to build coping skills and short-term goals. Imago Relationship Therapy informs how he looks at communication and connection in relationships.

In sessions he encourages curiosity about how habits, roles and early experiences shape responses now. He works with individuals on areas like attachment, abandonment, self-esteem and managing impulsivity. He also offers support around chronic illness, grief, and career concerns.

People can expect a calm, direct style that balances listening with practical suggestions. Luke tailors each plan to the person in front of him rather than following a fixed script. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the individual, helping them find their own solutions. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, stress and life transitions.

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations with gentle attention. It offers tools to manage anxiety, improve sleep and reduce reactivity by practising simple awareness exercises in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then try approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.

When arranging online sessions, check which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Many people find remote sessions help them fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel, and they can make shorter check-ins easier to schedule. Others choose approaches and tasks that translate well to remote work, such as mindfulness exercises, focused conversations about communication, and setting small behaviour goals to practise between sessions.
