About Luke Totty
Luke works with individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, addictions, and self-esteem concerns. He brings particular attention to issues such as abandonment, control struggles, forgiveness, guilt and shame, questions of life purpose, and men’s issues. His work with alcohol and substance use draws on an understanding that addictive behaviour often signals deeper emotional or relational pain, and he supports clients in tracing how past experiences shape present patterns.
Central to Luke’s approach is a relational emphasis - the belief that although pain is frequently born in relationships, meaningful healing is found within one. He values vulnerability as a route to authentic connection and offers a therapeutic space where clients can explore their inner lives, develop healthier ways of relating to others and themselves, and work toward lasting change. Luke is registered with the BACP, a professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Relational and Online Support for Addiction and Trauma
Luke draws on evidence-based, relationship-centred techniques that focus on how past and present relationships shape current difficulties. Relational work explores patterns in connections with partners, family members and the self, helping clients identify and change unhelpful ways of relating. Trauma-informed approaches attend to the emotional and physiological impacts of trauma, offering paced, compassionate support for processing painful experiences and rebuilding a sense of safety. Addiction-focused counselling looks beyond substance use to the underlying emotional and relational drivers, supporting clients to understand triggers, develop coping strategies and build healthier routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Luke works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. He takes into account the client’s goals, history and preferences, and adapts methods over time so that therapy remains responsive and practical.
Online therapy with Luke is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These remote options can make it easier to access regular support without travel, allow for continuity when life is busy, and enable clients to receive consistent, professional care from registered professionals in a format that suits them.
