Luke Faiers, BACP

Luke Faiers is a BACP-registered counsellor who focuses on helping people through difficult life stages. He offers calm, straightforward support for stress, anxiety, grief and parenting concerns. Luke aims to make the first step feel manageable and less daunting for anyone contacting him.

Luke uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client’s experience at the centre of sessions. He combines this with practical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help people notice patterns and try small changes. He also draws on existential ideas to help people tackle big life questions and find meaning when routines or relationships shift.

In sessions Luke listens actively and helps clients name what feels most urgent. He works with issues such as trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and compassion fatigue, and supports people dealing with career strain or relationship tensions. He can also help with eating and sleeping concerns, anger and self-esteem challenges.

Luke’s additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, and problems linked to guilt, shame or isolation. He brings four years of professional experience in the UK to his work and uses clear, everyday language so clients can see next steps.

People who meet him can expect a straightforward, non-judgemental style. Sessions aim to balance listening with practical strategies so clients leave with clearer options and manageable next steps.

How Luke's approaches translate to online therapy

Luke uses client-centred work to prioritise what matters to each person, giving space to share thoughts and feelings and to feel heard. This approach suits people who want a conversational, supportive setting to make sense of what they’re going through.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying small behaviour changes to improve mood and coping. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties. Existential therapy helps people face big life questions and changes, which can be useful when someone is dealing with midlife transitions or feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Luke will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made and priorities change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on need. Many people find remote sessions help them keep therapy consistent while juggling work, family and other commitments.
