Luke is a fully qualified psychotherapist holding a degree in holistic counselling and psychotherapy obtained from the International College of Personal and Professional Development (ICPPD).
He is a pre-accredited member of the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP)
Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Approach
Luke is rooted in the humanistic tradition, particularly in the person-centred approach, and draws from a wide variety of therapeutic models such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy(CBT), Existential Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Art Therapy and more. His approach is trauma informed and neurodiversity affirmative, he also employs neurobiological and psychoeducational components in his work, believing that these can provide opportunities for greater self-understanding. He draws from all these modalities to create a therapeutic process which is uniquely tailored to each client’s individual needs.
Luke approaches his work from the belief that every person innately has the resources to become the best version of themselves and to find or create meaning in their lives. As such his approach is collaborative, not leading the client but creating a safe and trusting space to work together with them so that they can find the right path for themselves.
Counselling Experience and Areas of Interest
Luke has experience in working with a variety of issues including, but not limited to; anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, disability and neurodivergence.
He has a particular interest in issues surrounding neurodivergence , especially those identified as neurodivergent in later life. He also has a strong interest in the effects past trauma can have on our lives.
