Luke Beale

I currently have availability on Monday daytime and evening.

I have experience helping people with a wide variety of issues, and specialise in working with those experiencing anxiety or stress.

I work in a collaberative and compassionate way, following what each client wants to discuss. Everyone is different, so I tailor the therapy to every client depending on their needs.

My experience as a Humanistic counsellor has taught me that we may already have the tools to help ourselves through painful moments in our lievs, and that to do so may mean re-discovering different parts of ourselves, or compassionately investigating other perspectives. I can help you navigate this process by bringing awareness to and exploring these aspects of yourself, deepening your own curiosity and self-compassion.

As well as my psychotherapeutic counselling qualification, I have done further training in: working online, trauma, working with LGBTQ+ people, whiteness and racism, dream work and more. My aim is to be as open and inclusive as possible to all clients, no matter thier identity or experience.

Currently I am working exclusively online via video. Online therapy has shown to be as effective as face-to-face therapy and can be more convenient.

I currently see adults (18 and over) and normally suggest that we meet at the same time every week for as long as you'd like. We can agree a number from the outset (e.g. 6-8 sessions) or keep things more open ended. Either way I normally ask every few sessions how you feel we're progressing.

Research has shown that the relationship with your counsellor is crucial to helping you feel better, which is why I offer a free consultation to see if I’m the right counsellor for you. It’s an opportunity to explain why you’re seeking therapy, what you’d like to get from it, if you have an idea of how many sessions you'd like, and to ask me any questions about how I work.

If you've had therapy before I may ask what was helpful about it, and what wasnt. I also encourage clients to speak with me honestly and regulalry about how therapy is progressing.
