Luke Totty is a counsellor with three years of clinical experience and a BACP accreditation. He began by co-facilitating addiction support groups while completing four years of formal study, and has since worked over 3,000 hours in clinical settings. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth work that helps people untangle patterns that cause distress.
He helps people dealing with stress and anxiety and supports those working through trauma and abuse. Addictions and alcohol or substance use are a focus, and he looks for the ways behaviour links to past experiences.
Background and approach
He also addresses relationship problems and self-esteem concerns in straightforward terms. Luke pays attention to how attachments and past relationships shape current choices. He believes many difficulties begin in relationships, and that healing happens through a new kind of relationship in therapy.
Sessions aim to explore patterns, make sense of history, and try new ways of relating. Vulnerability is central to his style. He encourages honest, open conversation so clients can find clearer answers and better boundaries.
Work can include looking at abandonment, control issues, guilt and shame, or questions about life purpose. His approach is collaborative and practical. People can expect a calm, direct counsellor who helps them spot repeating patterns and take manageable steps toward change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Luke works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and behaviour. One approach looks at how past relationships shape current patterns; sessions examine these patterns and try new ways of relating to reduce distress and improve connections. Another approach focuses on addiction as signalling deeper emotional or relational issues; work looks at triggers, coping strategies, and the feelings that drive substance use.Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which approach fits their needs, goals, and comfort. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and more visual cues, while phone sessions can be shorter or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and let people choose what feels most manageable for them.
