About Luke
Luke Totty is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience and a background in clinical and community settings. He has worked as a therapist for over 3 years and completed more than 3,000 clinical hours after co-facilitating addiction support groups during four years of formal study.
He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. He also focusses on issues such as abandonment, control, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose and men's issues. Sessions centre on looking at how past experiences shape current behaviour.
Luke emphasises the role of relationships in both creating pain and supporting recovery. Much of his work looks at the effects of family and partner relationships and how those patterns show up in day-to-day life. He uses discussion and reflection to help clients notice repeating cycles and make different choices.
Vulnerability and honest communication are practical aims in sessions. He encourages clients to name difficult feelings and to practise new ways of relating to themselves and others. Therapy is seen as an interpersonal process rather than only a set of techniques.
Luke has experience supporting people with alcohol and substance use and views addiction as often linked to deeper emotional or relational struggles. He works with clients to trace those connections and to build alternative coping strategies. If you are considering work on relationships, addictive behaviour or long-standing emotional patterns he asks you to confirm current session options before booking.

How his approaches translate to online work
Luke uses evidence-based techniques that centre on relationships and patterns. One clear strand is work that traces how early or repeated relationships shape current reactions; this helps when the main problem is repeated conflict, anxiety, or patterns around control. Another strand focuses on addictive behaviour, looking at triggers, coping routines and the emotions that sit beneath substance use to develop alternative responses.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then agree a practical way of working together. That collaborative planning includes checking which methods fit your situation and adjusting them as work progresses.
The therapist's biography does not list which session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people pick arrangements that suit their concentration or bandwidth, for example sessions that do not rely on video if that is preferable.
