Luke Stevenson, BACP

Luke Stevenson qualified in Movement Psychotherapy (MP) in 2015 and later trained in Transactional Analysis (TA) in 2023. He combines these complementary trainings with ten years of clinical experience to offer a somatically informed, relational approach to therapy. Movement Psychotherapy is presented in his work as a way to engage the body, mind and sense of identity together, helping people notice how physical experience links with thoughts and emotions. Transactional Analysis provides a framework for exploring how early learning and habitual ways of relating affect present-day communication and reactions.

Working in a TA Co-creative model, Luke collaborates with each person to map areas of difficulty and to develop practical, personalised strategies for change. Treatment plans are shaped around the client rather than a fixed protocol, so interventions reflect individual goals, strengths and circumstances. His practice aims to support increased wellbeing, confidence and the capacity to realise personal potential.

Luke holds BACP and brings a respectful, attentive stance to work with issues such as trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety and life change, adapting interventions to suit each person he meets.

Combining therapeutic approaches for effective online care

Luke draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting, non-directive space where clients are supported to explore their own priorities and build self-awareness - an approach that is helpful for issues of self-esteem, life transitions and emotional processing. He also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-moment awareness and practical skills for managing stress and anxiety, offering brief exercises and paced attention techniques that translate well to remote sessions. Where clients want focused change, Solution-Focused Therapy provides goal-oriented work that identifies strengths and small, achievable steps toward improvement.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey; Luke works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. Treatment plans evolve in conversation so that the approach fits the client rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with registered professionals and therapists offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from different locations.
