Luke Stevenson, BACP

Luke Stevenson helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems and identity questions. He supports those coping with stress, grief, self‑esteem struggles, bipolar symptoms, ADHD and life changes. He also works with concerns such as sleeping problems, anger, career stress and compassion fatigue.

Luke uses an individualised style that aims to make sessions feel practical and grounded. He works collaboratively, listening for what matters most and then trying small changes together. His approach blends talking therapies with attention to body awareness and everyday patterns of relating.

Luke trained in movement psychotherapy and later studied transactional analysis. Movement psychotherapy considers how the body and mind link, and pays attention to how sensations and posture connect with emotion and identity. Transactional analysis offers ways to notice patterns of communication and inner scripts that shape how people react in relationships.

In practice Luke draws on client‑centred thinking, psychodynamic ideas, mindfulness and solution‑focused steps alongside relationship work. That mix helps him tailor sessions to each person rather than follow a fixed plan. He aims to build straightforward goals so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.

He has around ten years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and Luke accepts international clients, working with people across the United Kingdom and beyond.

How Luke's approaches work online

Client‑centred therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what emerges and helps people find their own solutions; this approach is useful for building self‑confidence and working through life changes.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations without getting swept up by them. It can help with stress, anxiety, sleeping problems and managing mood swings by teaching short exercises that people can use between sessions.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Luke will discuss goals and preferences, try practical steps and adjust the way he works based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and aims to make each plan fit the person's day‑to‑day life.

Online sessions make it easier to access therapy from different locations and at varied times. Video calls let people use visual cues and more in‑depth conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check‑in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick reflections or people who prefer typing. These options offer flexibility for fitting therapy around work, travel and other commitments.
