Hello, I’m Luke.
I am a qualified and experienced psychodynamic counsellor, registered as a member of the BPC. I also teach the MSc for psychodynamic counselling at Birkbeck University.
I work in London with a wide range of people who are experiencing difficulties and uncertainty in their personal, professional, and social lives and relationships.
Why come to counselling
There are many reasons why someone might be thinking about coming to counselling. Sometimes it’s a specific issue that they want help in understanding, like difficulties in their relationships, or in working through a bereavement. There could be a more general sense of depression, unease, or anxiety, where the source is not obvious but the effects are becoming hard to manage.
How we will work together
My aim is to listen to you without judgement, and to support you as you come to a greater understanding of yourself over the course of our sessions together. We will meet once per week for 50 minutes.
Counselling can help you feel ready to think through the difficult emotions, thoughts, and memories that you might not feel able to examine alone. By understanding the relationships that you have in your past, your present, and in the consulting room, we can uncover your emotional patterns and defences. We can work together to see how you might want, and be able, to improve your capacity to change.
Location
I work from confidential counselling rooms in London at Borough House Rooms, 78-80 Borough High Street, SE1 1LL near London Bridge and Borough underground stations. These rooms are between five and ten minutes’ walk from both stations.
I also offer counselling online via Zoom.
Things to know
I charge £70 for a fifty minute session.
Our first four sessions will be an assessment period, where we can both decide whether we can work well together for the future.
I start my counselling sessions on the hour. Once we have a time and day that we both can agree to, we will meet at the same time each week.
Borough House Rooms have entry codes, which I will give you when we have agreed to start.
There is a small waiting room outside of the counselling room, but you should aim to arrive 5 minutes before our session begins.If we are meeting online, I will send you a regular link for our Zoom sessions.
You should be in a space where you feel you can speak freely, without being overheard or interrupted.
It can be helpful to ensure you have a few minutes to yourself before and after the session.
Get in touch to enquire about starting counselling.
