Luke Faiers
Person-centred counsellor using practical therapy approaches
About Luke
Luke Faiers is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who draws on person-centred and cognitive approaches to support people through difficult periods. He holds BACP accreditation and brings four years of professional experience to his work. Luke aims to make the first step towards change feel manageable for anyone who is worried or unsure.
Luke takes a straightforward, conversational approach in sessions. He listens without judgement and helps people talk through what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on identifying practical steps as well as understanding underlying patterns that cause distress. Common concerns he meets include stress and anxiety, grief and depression, trauma and abuse, and problems with sleep or eating. He also offers support around addiction, compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, and life transitions.
ADHD, career worries and self-esteem are additional areas he addresses. Luke uses Client-Centred Therapy to build rapport and trust, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. He also draws on Existential Therapy to help people find meaning when life feels confusing or empty.
Together these approaches create a practical and reflective way of working. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. People should expect a collaborative process where goals are agreed and reviewed as therapy progresses.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are booked according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building trust so the person feels heard and accepted; online sessions use the same attitude to help people talk through worries and make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in behaviour; it often involves short exercises and homework that can be discussed and reviewed during video or phone sessions. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values and life choices and supports people who feel stuck, empty or unsure about their direction in life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods that suit the individual's needs and adapt the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into day-to-day life.
