About Luke
Counsellor Luke Totty is a BACP member with three years' experience working in clinical settings across the United Kingdom. He began co-facilitating addiction support groups while completing four years of study and has since practised for over 3 years, building more than 3,000 therapy hours. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and self‑esteem concerns.
Luke focuses on how past relationships shape current behaviour. He often helps people see patterns linked to abandonment, control issues, guilt and shame, and struggles around forgiveness and life purpose. He also has extensive experience supporting people with alcohol and substance use and treats addiction as a symptom that can point to deeper emotional or relational problems.
Sessions tend to centre on improving how people relate to others and to themselves. He encourages vulnerability as a way to build more honest connection. Conversations are practical and relational rather than theoretical, with attention to how everyday interactions influence feelings and choices.
Luke’s work includes helping people manage stress and anxiety in daily life, talk through relationship difficulties, and rebuild self‑esteem after harm or loss. He supports men who are dealing with identity, expectations and emotional pain.
People who choose him usually want a counsellor who pays attention to relationships and past experiences, and who is willing to talk plainly about patterns of behaviour. Before booking, clients may wish to confirm current session options and practical details.
Approaches and online counselling with Luke Totty
Luke uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and behaviour. One approach looks at how past relationships and attachment patterns shape current reactions; it helps when anxiety, trust or repeated relationship problems are present. Another approach examines behaviour linked to addiction and substance use, helping people understand triggers and develop different coping routines. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Luke will discuss what seems most helpful and will adjust methods based on the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process, with practical steps agreed together rather than imposed. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily life. It can allow shorter check‑ins, avoid travel time, and suit people who prefer not to attend in person. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these options to make therapy more manageable within a busy schedule.Areas of expertise
