Luke Sanders

I'm Luke, an integrative counsellor based in Gwynedd, North Wales, working with individuals in North Wales and across the UK via videocall or telephone.

For many people, working remotely removes real barriers: no commute, no waiting room, the ability to speak from a space where you already feel safe. It also means you can work with someone who's the right fit, not just the nearest option.

My approach is integrative and client-led, which in practice means you set the direction. We can explore what's happening in the present, make sense of patterns rooted in the past, or work toward something you want for the future, at a pace that feels right for you. I often draw on Transactional Analysis, which offers a lens for understanding different parts within us, and of building greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and freedom of choice.

I bring experience from NHS primary care, charitable, and corporate settings, and have published research in wellbeing science. Above all, I aim to offer a space that feels genuinely safe, built on honesty, warmth, and respect for your experience.

Taking that first step can feel daunting. I'll do my best to make it straightforward.

"I’ve had a few counselling sessions with Luke and I can honestly say he has been incredibly helpful. He creates such a safe, calm space where I feel genuinely heard and understood. His guidance has given me clarity and practical tools that I’ve already started applying in my life. I’ve noticed a real difference in how I manage my thoughts and emotions since working with him. I’m really grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for compassionate and insightful counselling."

"Luke was a joy to work with. He was professional, clear and skillful - and yet also managed to give enough of himself for me to be able to engage with him as a human being. He was incredible at holding the space whilst bringing a clear methodical structure to each session and the process as a whole [...] He was so clearly passionate about the work that he does to help people. I'm hugely grateful to him for his skills and support."

- Guy

"Thanks very much to Luke for his patience and understanding and friendly manner. It has been a great help in a stressful, difficult period and I wouldn't have got through it without him. Would recommend him and the service to anyone."

I offer a free introductory chat over telephone or videocall, where I can tell you a bit more about how I work and can answer any questions you might have. If we decide to work together, I will share with you a link to access my calendar booking system. I will also send you through the counselling agreement to sign ahead of our first scheduled session. If you have any questions, you can always send me an email or discuss more at our first session.
