Life Coaching Counselling in Manchester
Many people come to therapy when stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, or long-standing emotional patterns begin to feel difficult to manage alone. I offer online therapy for adults across the UK, providing a confidential and structured space to explore what feels stuck, overwhelming, or unresolved. You may be self-aware and thoughtful, yet notice that insight has not led to the clarity or change you want.

I work with individuals who appear high functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck internally. Many struggle with overthinking, relationship patterns, or the lasting impact of childhood or generational trauma. You may be used to managing everything and supporting others, yet still feel unsettled within yourself. My approach helps you understand these patterns, process past experiences, and feel more secure, balanced, and in control, creating meaningful and lasting change.

Having a diverse academic background in educational science, clinical psychology, and cognitive neuroscience, I blend my learning, my experience with my clients and my own wealth of life experiences, as well as the teaching from spirituality, such as mindfulness practices, to assist my clients with the issues that they are dealing with.
I have a deep appreciation and passion for working with adults and children who have experienced trauma. I have a diverse range of skills and experience, such as cross-cultural psychology, immigration, self-esteem and neurodiversity, e.g., autism and ADHD. I walk with my clients through the darkness of their experience, holding the space with compassion, helping them understand their experiences better, make sense of them, accept their whole existence, and fully love and embrace themselves. I believe healing is a process in which both the therapist and the clients contribute and grow together.

I’m Dr Luke, a HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist offering online therapy across the UK. I work with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or highly self-critical, often during periods of change in health, work, or relationships. Many of the people I help are thoughtful and capable on the outside, yet struggle internally with pressure, doubt, or feeling disconnected from what really matters to them. Therapy can offer a space to slow things down, make sense of patterns, and begin living more in line with your values.

I combine therapy and coaching because you need both.
You're a senior leader, a high performer, on paper successful but something's off. You're second-guessing decisions you used to make easily. You feel like an imposter in rooms where you clearly belong. Your role changed and suddenly you don't know what defines you anymore. Or you're at a career crossroads and can't figure out which direction to take or why any of it matters. You are missing clarity and want to understand why smart choices feel so hard. You want to know what patterns keep showing up and what you're actually afraid of. You want to see yourself clearly so you can move forward with confidence.

As a therapist can't control what's happening in your life but I can certainly challenge you to control the way you respond, that's where the power lies.
We all face Challenges and internal conflicts at some point in our lives; there are three solutions to every problem; Accept it, change it or leave it. If you are reading this profile you are probably on the road of wanting change, you don't have to struggle in silence and the time for change is now. The most important ingredient of change is the acknowledgment of the situation.Sometimes it can be very hard to explain what is going on in your head or your heart when you don't even understand it yourself , this is where speaking to someone with decades of experience makes a difference.

It can be a huge step to decide to talk to a counsellor/psychotherapist about personal issues so it is important to find someone you are comfortable with, who will not judge you but accept you for who you are. I offer office based and/or telephone therapy. The relationship between therapist and patient is fundamentally important. I liken psychotherapy to being in a clothing shop changing room where we get a unique view of ourselves from all angles. Likewise therapy is about helping someone to glimpse and explore hidden parts of themselves or just helping them make sense of their distress.
I am trained in EMDR
