About Luke
Luke Totty is a counsellor with three years of professional experience and a BACP accreditation. He has worked in clinical and community settings and has specific experience co-facilitating addiction support groups during his training. Luke aims to help people untangle patterns that cause stress and anxiety so they can feel steadier day to day.
He supports people dealing with trauma, relationship strain, low self-esteem and struggles with alcohol or other substances.
Background and approach
He often frames addictive behaviour as a sign of deeper emotional or relational pain. Sessions focus on understanding how past experiences shape current choices. Luke describes the therapeutic relationship as central to change.
He encourages vulnerability as a route to stronger connections with partners, parents, siblings and the self. The work tends to explore how people relate to others and to themselves, and how those patterns can shift. In practical terms he offers a space to talk through difficult feelings and recurring habits.
Conversations aim to be straightforward and focused on steps the person can try between sessions. Progress is paced to each person’s needs and goals. People who come for help often want relief from anxiety or stress, clearer relationships, or support around addictive behaviours.
Luke’s background in group and one-to-one settings shapes a calm, steady style. He helps people find clearer ways of living that feel more manageable.
Therapies that help with anxiety and addiction
Luke uses evidence-based techniques that focus on understanding feelings and changing unhelpful habits. One common approach is exploring how past relationships shape current behaviour - this helps people see why they react a certain way and opens paths to different choices. Another strand focuses on practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching simple tools to manage panic, worry and overwhelming moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Luke will discuss different ways of working and decide together which fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means approaches can shift as progress is made or needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel close to face to face, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging support quicker check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping a steady therapeutic relationship with registered or accredited professionals.
