Luke FaiersBACP

Luke Faiers is a counsellor who uses a client-focused approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and parenting pressures. He works in straightforward language and aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly about difficult feelings. Luke holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP in his details, and he practises in the United Kingdom.

He often helps people manage anxiety and stress by breaking problems into small steps. For trauma, grief or loss he listens closely and helps people pace difficult memories and feelings. When parenting feels overwhelming he supports practical problem solving and clearer communication at home.

Luke draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together, and Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on the person’s own perspective and experiences. He also uses ideas from Existential Therapy to help people think about meaning and life choices when they feel stuck.

Across his four years of work he has supported people through addiction, relationship strain, body image and work or career concerns. He also addresses issues such as low self-esteem, anger, sleep and eating difficulties, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.

Luke aims to work collaboratively, helping people set small goals they can try between sessions. The first meetings usually focus on the immediate problem, practical next steps and a plan for what to work on together.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and following the person's agenda, helping people feel heard and understood. Online sessions can simply continue that open, empathetic conversation and support someone through stressful life events.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thought, feeling and action and tests small behavioural experiments. In remote work this can mean planning short exercises between sessions and reviewing how they went in the next meeting.

Existential Therapy helps people talk about meaning, values and choices when life feels uncertain. That kind of reflective conversation can fit well into talk-based online sessions where clients want to consider long-term direction or cope with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose or adapt methods based on the person's goals, worries and what feels most useful. Sessions often mix practical steps from CBT with the listening focus of Client-Centred Therapy and occasional existential reflection.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, work breaks or childcare, and it can reduce travel time so people can try short check-ins or regular longer meetings depending on what suits them.
