About Luke
Counsellor Luke Faiers is a BACP member with four years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and parenting concerns. He also supports those coping with addiction, relationship and intimacy-related issues and difficulties around sleep and eating.
Luke uses a client-centred way of working. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual. He listens and reflects back what is important so people can make clearer decisions about next steps.
He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques. These help with unhelpful thinking and practical ways to change behaviour. That approach is often used for anxiety, low mood and problems with sleep or routine.
Existential ideas are part of his work too. Those discussions look at meaning, values and how people want to live. They can be useful when someone feels stuck, empty or faces big life changes.
Luke aims to keep sessions straightforward and focused. He will work with each person to set goals and try small, manageable changes between meetings. People are encouraged to check how a method feels and to change approach if it does not fit.
How his approaches work for online counselling
Luke combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural and existential ideas. Client-centred therapy involves listening carefully and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on patterns of thinking and behaviour, offering practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or change habits. Existential therapy looks at values, meaning and life direction, which can help when someone feels stuck or faces major changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. If an approach does not feel helpful, it can be adjusted as work progresses.
Please confirm session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also mean using methods that suit being online, such as guided exercises and worksheets between meetings. Ask about the exact session formats available when you book.
