About Luke
Luke Totty is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience and over 3,000 clinical hours. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and low self-esteem. He also focuses on issues such as abandonment, control, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose and men’s issues.
He started co-facilitating addiction support groups while completing four years of formal study. That early group work shaped his approach to alcohol and substance concerns and to how past relationships influence present behaviour. He sees addiction as often linked to deeper emotional or relational patterns rather than only a stand-alone problem.
Sessions centre on understanding how past experiences and family relationships affect current choices. He helps people notice repeated patterns and talk through what those patterns mean for daily life. Work often includes looking at how people relate to partners, parents, siblings and to themselves.
Vulnerability and honest conversation are important to his method. He offers a setting where clients can name difficult feelings, test new ways of relating, and practise different choices in the moment. The aim is practical change in relationships, self-understanding and everyday coping.
Luke describes his role as collaborative and direct. He helps people who feel stuck to explore options, try out new responses and make steady adjustments toward clearer priorities and more manageable routines.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Luke commonly draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that explore relationships and patterns. One approach focuses on identifying repeated relational patterns and how they link to present difficulties; this helps people understand why they react in certain ways and what to try instead. Another approach involves working with emotional responses connected to trauma and shame, helping people name strong feelings and practise different responses in everyday situations.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together which fit the client’s goals and preferences. This is collaborative and can change as the work deepens or practical needs arise.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking as they are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and options such as audio-only sessions can help when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their way of working to suit quieter surroundings, time constraints and the practicalities of everyday routines.
