About Luke

Luke Faiers helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and parenting concerns using a person-focused counselling style. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience in the field.

Luke works in a straightforward, conversational way. He listens to what someone brings and uses approaches from client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and existential therapy to guide sessions. He aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to find practical steps for daily life.

In sessions he pays attention to how past relationships affect present feelings. He also helps people manage unhelpful thoughts and patterns that increase stress and low mood. When grief, loss or traumatic memories are present, he supports people to talk these through at a pace they can manage.

Luke has experience supporting people facing addiction, anger, low self-esteem and relationship or intimacy issues. He also works with matters such as parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, career stress and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues and body image.

He uses clear, practical techniques alongside open discussion. That might mean noticing thought patterns together, testing small behaviour changes, or reflecting on values and meaning. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site.

How his approaches work in remote counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says, aiming to make it easier to describe thoughts and feelings. It suits people who need space to be heard and to organise their own thinking.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the client and agree what to try first. This is a collaborative decision and may change as sessions move on.

The practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because the original biography did not list supported session formats, please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful for shorter check-ins, workday appointments and continuing therapy when life is otherwise busy.
