About Luke
Luke Stevenson helps people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship and family problems, and issues linked to identity such as LGBT and gender dysphoria. He also supports people coping with bipolar disorder, ADHD, sleeping problems, anger, compassion fatigue, and career uncertainty. Luke's opening aim is to make talking about difficulties feel manageable and straightforward.
He has ten years' experience working with people from different backgrounds across the United Kingdom.
How Luke works
He holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. Luke draws on several therapeutic styles to shape each session around what the person needs in that moment. In sessions he keeps the work practical and collaborative.
He uses client-centred and solution-focused approaches to help people set clear goals and try small, achievable steps between meetings. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and how past experiences influence present feelings. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with stress, sleep and emotional regulation.
Imago relationship ideas are used when communication and connection are the focus of the work. Luke adapts the mix of approaches to the person rather than applying a fixed template. People can expect conversations that explore feelings, behaviour and practical options.
He tailors each plan to the person's history and aims. The emphasis is on helping someone find ways to feel more capable and regain a sense of direction.

Online support options
Blending therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the person's pace, helping them make sense of feelings and decide what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and times of change.Solution-Focused Therapy looks at what is already working and builds small, practical steps towards clear goals. It is goal-oriented and often helps people who want faster results or who need concrete ways to manage stress and daily challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Luke will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods as sessions progress, matching style to the person's needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online sessions offer flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
