Luke Faiers is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a person-centred approach to help people make sense of difficult feelings. He combines client-centred listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and wider existential ideas. Luke holds BACP accreditation and has four years of professional experience.

He works with people facing stress and anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. He also supports those struggling with addiction, eating and sleeping problems, low self-esteem and the emotional strain of career or life changes.

Background and approach

Relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting worries and distance from others are included in his practice. Luke prefers clear, straightforward sessions where the person sets the pace. He listens without judgement and helps clients identify patterns that cause distress.

From there he offers small experiments and coping tools that can be tried between meetings. CBT techniques may be used to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Existential ideas help people look at meaning, choice and personal values when life feels confusing.

The client-centred foundation means the person’s own goals shape the work. Sessions can be short-term coaching-style work or a longer process depending on what someone needs. Luke aims to make each step practical and manageable so people can notice change in day-to-day life.

He encourages patience and curiosity as therapy progresses.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online therapy

Luke blends client-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural therapy, and draws on existential ideas to help people reflect on meaning and choice. Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities, helping someone feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical steps to test and change unhelpful patterns. Existential conversations encourage reflection about values, purpose and what matters when life feels uncertain.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapy process. Luke will work together with the person to identify goals and try different methods to see what fits. That collaborative stance means techniques are adapted to the individual rather than imposed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel while keeping the focus on practical progress.
