Luke Thompson, BACP

Luke Thompson is a BACP-registered counsellor with four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression and the particular strain that comes with life changes. Anger is one of the concerns he addresses alongside grief, trauma and intimacy-related difficulties.

He offers talking therapy rooted in attachment ideas, emotion-focused work and cognitive methods. Sessions focus on the person and their feelings. Conversations aim to surface painful habits and patterns, and to notice how emotions show up in everyday life.

Luke says therapy is not passive. He works alongside clients, bringing genuine reactions and relatable life experience into sessions. That approach is intended to make it easier to sit with strong feelings like shame, rage or sorrow rather than avoiding them.

Practical tools and reflective conversation are both part of his way of working. People can expect to discuss thoughts and behaviours, try new responses, and notice their emotional responses to relationships and stress. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based and client-centred ideas to do this.

Outside of clinical work he mentions personal experience of anxiety, grief and people-pleasing tendencies. He is comfortable talking about loss, existential concerns and the everyday frustrations that can build into persistent anger or resentment. Luke works in English and welcomes international clients.
