About Luke
Luke Stevenson is a counsellor with ten years' experience who supports people through trauma and a wide range of life challenges. He works with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, grief, sleep difficulties, and relationship strain. Luke also offers help around LGBT concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD and career questions.
He speaks English and sees clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Luke uses an approach that pays attention to both the body and the story people bring.
Background and approach
He draws on Trauma-Focused work and psychodynamic ideas to understand how past events shape current feelings and patterns. He also uses client-centred principles to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person in front of him.
In sessions Luke adopts a co-creative Transactional Analysis style, which means he works alongside clients to identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of relating. Plans are tailored to each person rather than following a fixed template. Practical strategies and gentle exploration sit alongside one another depending on need.
He blends mindfulness and somatic elements to help people notice how stress shows up in the body and learn ways to calm down. This can be helpful for pacing emotional work and managing physical symptoms tied to anxiety or trauma. Luke is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
People meet him for short-term problem-focused work or longer conversations about life purpose, attachment wounds and identity questions. Sessions are available online by video, phone, live chat or messaging, and are arranged through the site's matching and booking process.

How Luke's approaches translate to online therapy
Luke often uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing events and reduce the way those memories affect day-to-day life. This work looks at symptoms and reactions, and uses paced exploration and grounding so people can manage strong emotions.He also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on the client's priorities and pace. That approach supports people to feel heard and to lead the agenda during sessions. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice repeated patterns and understand how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviour.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and Luke treats it as a conversation. He will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and adjust plans as trust and insight develop.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let visual cues guide somatic and relational work. Phone sessions are useful when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins, reflection between sessions or people who find typing easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or travel without losing continuity of care.
