Working with Luke has genuinely changed my life. After my severe road traffic accident, I was struggling both mentally and emotionally; dealing with anxiety, fear, and a constant sense of being on edge. Luke helped me find ways to cope, to breathe again, and to face things as they come instead of letting them control me. His understanding, patience, and support have helped me rebuild my confidence, especially while driving. I’m so grateful for everything he’s done to help me heal and move forward.

Luke has been an amazing support for me during a very difficult time. Luke is extremely knowledgeable. He was able to share relevant tools with me to help me on my journey. He always made sure I learned about the tools/new thinking and would follow up in our next session. He helped me to think differently despite me being in such a low mood and really struggling with anxiety. I am so grateful for everything he’s taught me and highly recommend him. His personality is great and Luke makes counselling so much easier, just by having him as your counsellor.

I’ve just completed 20 sessions with Luke, and I’m genuinely amazed by the progress I’ve made. When I first started, my social anxiety, especially around presentations and work-related conversations, was overwhelming. Panic attacks and intense stress symptoms were a regular struggle.

Through CBT with Luke, I’ve learned and applied techniques that have completely changed how I handle these situations. Now, I can confidently deliver presentations and engage in work conversations with ease. The transformation has been incredible.

A huge thank you to Luke for the guidance, patience, and support. If your anxiety feels unmanageable and is affecting your daily life, I highly recommend working with Luke. The impact has been life-changing!

Luke’s work with me has offered a fresh and hopeful perspective after some traumatic and difficult events that happened earlier in my life. 

He offers extremely helpful and in-depth theoretical advice while remaining the most compassionate voice in the room. Luke always maintained the utmost professionalism and objective perspective in our sessions, but I never felt like a human test sample. In fact, Luke taught me that a foundation of the positive cognitive frameworks we spoke about is compassion with oneself, which I bought into through his own ability to be compassionate with my experiences. 

Luke is the best of both worlds: someone to confide the most sensitive and personal information with, but also someone who positively encourages his clients to engage with cognitive theory that will improve their lives long-term.

If you choose therapy with Luke, you’ll honestly gain psychology lessons as well as one of the safest spaces to discuss your mental health struggles. I could not recommend him more highly.

Luke provided a safe, supportive space where I could express myself openly and honestly. Our sessions have helped me recognize which thoughts deserve my attention and which ones I can let go of. I also came to realize that I’d rarely shown myself the same compassion I offer others, and this shift has been quietly encouraging. While I still sometimes slip back into old habits, the techniques I’ve learned have made a meaningful difference, helping me approach stress and challenges with a calmer, more balanced perspective. Therapy really helped me get the confidence to go for a new job and handle challenges in a smarter way. I learned how to deal with difficult people without letting them get to me or drain my energy. Now, I can face uncomfortable situations at work without feeling as overwhelmed, and I don’t take things as personally as I used to. Therapy gave me the tools to handle things calmly and stay focused on what really matters. One of the main benefits I’ve been able to apply at work is staying calm and centered, even in stressful situations. I use techniques like stepping stone image and worry free zone to keep myself content. I have also found a way to escape situations in a healthy manner. 

I learned to approach my problems differently—breaking them down in a calm and analytical way instead of letting them spiral in my head. One thing that really changed the game for me was understanding how black-and-white thinking was holding me back. I used to take one bad situation and generalize it, convincing myself it was part of some larger pattern or that things would always be this way. Therapy helped me challenge those thoughts and see things in a more balanced way, using thought records and experiments, which have been so eye-opening. I’ve learned how to test out my beliefs and assumptions instead of just accepting them as facts. That shift has been huge for me. Understanding concepts like “drive, threat, soothe,” it all started to click. These ideas feel so approachable and practical, and now I can see how to apply them in my daily life. Experimentation has also been so powerful for me. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by situations, I’ve learned to try small, practical steps to see what works.

One of the biggest breakthroughs for me was understanding my core beliefs,  uncovering the deep-rooted thoughts that were keeping me stuck and learning how to challenge them with compassion and curiosity. That understanding has been life-changing—it’s like I finally have a map to navigate my thoughts and emotions.

I’m finally sleeping again—going from 2-3 hours to a full 8-9 hours, which feels like such a gift. I’ve started appreciating myself and all that I’ve accomplished, which is something I never did before. I don’t feel like I’m waiting to lose everything anymore. Even my personal relationships have improved so much — something I didn’t even realize needed work when I first started therapy. And that it’s okay to share some of the love I show others with myself. That has been such a meaningful lesson.

Luke helped change my relationship with anxiety, which has in turn significantly loosened its grip on my life, enabling me to live more in alignment with what truly matters to me, instead of wasting my time thinking about anxiety.

In the past, I felt compelled to rid myself of anxious thoughts, feelings and sensations by doing everything I could to work it all out, but this only served to make it worse as I became sucked deeper and deeper into it and neglected other important parts of my life, like family, work and simply having fun and enjoying the present moment.

Luke showed me a more compassionate way of dealing with anxiety that was more about allowing and accepting it, while doing what it important to me, which counter intuitively seems to work so much better than trying to ‘outthink’ it. Through the EMDR, I was able to safely revisit formative memories, understand the root causes of why anxiety bothered me so much and understand how limiting beliefs had solidified. The ACT showed me the value of adopting a kindly acceptance of the difficulty when it arises, instead of beating myself up for it, and knowing that it will pass on its own.  I can now say that I know how to be my own therapist, not just because of the effectiveness of the sessions but because Luke gave me practical mindfulness and self compassion based exercises to do between sessions which have become part of my daily routine. 

I went to Luke having been suffering from treatment resistant chronic health and social anxiety for almost 20 years. I approached him because he appeared to blend the rigour of classic CBT, the wisdom of ACT and the trauma releasing benefits of EMDR. I’d received good CBT before, but found it to encourage rationalising and mental argument, which had in some ways worsened my overthinking. My anxiety was also a very physical and felt experience, so I liked Luke’s way of using the body as part of the healing process in tandem with thoughts. The ACT helped me see another way of dealing with troubling anxiety sensations and intrusive thoughts, which was simply letting them be there, and waiting for them to fade away of their own accord, while focussing on what was important in my life. I found that even though I still felt some anxiety, I felt good about doing things that I might have otherwise avoided, and I also learned for myself that anxiety can fade on it’s own, when you relate to it in a compassionate way.

Luke helped me through a difficult time in my life during which I was suffering from a severe flare-up of anxiety, OCD and sleep issues that had plagued me on and off for years. Luke’s approach was methodical and rigorous, which really helped me to interrogate my anxiety and get to the root of why it had a grip on me. He had a wealth of therapeutic techniques at his fingertips, and we tried lots of them to find those which resonated with me the most – in this way the therapy felt far more personalised than experiences I’d had before, and as a result had a much greater and more lasting impact. He held me to account with exercises and ways of getting me to problem-solve myself in our sessions, and was always warm, empathetic and encouraging. Not only did I come through the rough patch and am now feeling very happy and well, but I also made significant progress on issues that had remained unresolved for years despite previous attempts at therapy. It has had a profoundly positive effect on me.

Having identified through psychoanalysis that I had some early unresolved trauma my therapist recommended EMDR and trauma focussed CBT. Luke expertly worked me through the trauma using elements of both practices. He was very open about the process, enquiring about my issues, how we were proceeding and was methodical in the application. He set the ground work: explaining the process, anchoring a safe space, and then helped me work through the memories, associated feelings and scripts, and then having me associate different narratives around the memories. This has really helped me to feel better about myself and put many other things in perspective, I feel like the same person but with a different outlook on life. The EMDR itself was like magic, I don’t understand how it worked, but at times could feel my brain rewiring as we replaced the negative associations with positive ones.
