Background and approach
In sessions he combines attention to bodily sensation with gentle conversation. He pays attention to posture, movement and breath alongside thoughts and feelings. That means people can notice how emotions show up in their body as well as in their thinking.
He uses a co‑creative approach to planning work. That means he and the client agree goals together and try different ways of working to see what helps. Plans are tailored to each person rather than following a fixed script.
Luke also draws on mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas and Imago relationship approaches when these are useful. He aims for straightforward, practical conversations that help people manage symptoms and find clearer ways to relate to themselves and others.
How somatic and conversational approaches work online
Luke uses Somatic Therapy to notice how emotions appear in the body through breath, posture and movement, helping people connect physical sensations with feelings and thoughts. This can be useful for trauma, stress, chronic pain and anxiety. He also uses Client‑Centred Therapy which focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person lead the pace and direction of the work. That approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make sense of their priorities.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences and what feels safe, then try methods that fit the client. Sessions are collaborative and flexible, and plans change as the person learns what helps them most.
Online therapy with video, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging makes it easier to fit counselling into busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client read facial expression and movement, while phone or chat options suit people who prefer less visual contact. Messaging can provide short, ongoing support between sessions. These formats increase accessibility and make it simpler to keep continuity of care across locations.
