Luke Stevenson, BACP

Luke Stevenson qualified in Movement Psychotherapy (MP) in 2015 and later completed training in Transactional Analysis (TA) in 2023. He combines these perspectives to work with the whole person, attending to body, mind and identity rather than focusing solely on thoughts or behaviour. Movement Psychotherapy is a somatically informed approach that uses bodily awareness and movement to support emotional processing, build confidence and help people develop a stronger sense of wellbeing and potential.

Transactional Analysis offers a practical framework for exploring how people relate to others and to themselves. It helps identify recurring communication patterns and reactions, and encourages curiosity about how those ways of engaging were learned and how they might now be contributing to difficulties.

Luke works in a TA co-creative model, partnering with clients to clarify areas of difficulty and to explore practical routes to change. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual, reflecting their unique needs and goals. He is also accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a recognised professional body in the UK.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Luke Stevenson draws on client-centered work and mindfulness alongside solution-focused techniques to support people in online settings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a collaborative and non-directive relationship where the therapist offers empathic presence and helps clients explore their own values and goals - it can be useful for issues like self-esteem, life changes and relationship concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention and grounding skills to help manage stress, anxiety and emotional reactivity by fostering present-moment awareness. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small, achievable changes; it is often used to set clear goals and build practical steps toward coping and recovery.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Luke works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods match their needs, preferences and goals, and adapts plans as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and client-led.

Online therapy with Luke is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to access licensed professionals from their own location, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and choose the format that best supports their pace and communication style.
