The Therapy Room Southampton
About My Practice...
Welcome to my counselling service, my name is Luke. I am passionate about supporting individuals through life's challenges with compassion, empathy, and understanding. My approach is person-centred, meaning I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore your thoughts and feelings. I work with a wide range of issues, including relationship difficulties, childhood trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, anger issues, and many other personal struggles. Whether you're facing a specific concern or seeking overall emotional well-being, I am here to listen and support you on your journey toward healing and growth. My goal is to collaborate with you to develop meaningful insights and practical strategies, helping you build resilience and rediscover your inner strength. Every individual is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs and circumstances. If you're ready to take the first step toward understanding yourself better and making positive changes, I invite you to get in touch. Together, we can work towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
My Approach to Counselling...
My aim is to create a non-judgmental, empowering and supportive space where you feel safe to open and explore the issues that matter to you. I recognise that everyone is unique and strongly believe that everyone has their own answers – my job is to provide an environment where you feel comfortable to explore and work towards those answers in your own time, in an atmosphere of patience and respect. I specialise in working with addictions of all types. I have lived experience myself and therefore have a deep understanding of the struggles you may be facing and know first-hand, that change is possible and that a life where you can flourish in your own unique way is within reach. I work in the here and now – focussing on what’s happening for you in the present, and with what’s got you here – the past experiences and difficulties that may be underlying your current struggles. Of course, I also hold hope for your future and believe that together we can work towards what you want for yourself. I will support you to understand yourself more fully and build satisfying relationships with yourself and others.
What to Expect...
​
In a person-centred counselling session, clients can expect a safe and non-judgmental space where they can freely explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The counsellor will offer genuine empathy, understanding, and unconditional positive regard, allowing the client to feel truly heard and accepted. The focus is on the client's own inner wisdom and ability to find their own solutions, with the counsellor acting as a supportive guide on their journey of self-exploration and personal growth. Clients are encouraged to express themselves authentically and at their own pace, with the counsellor providing a compassionate and empathetic presence throughout the session. The ultimate goal is to help clients gain greater self-awareness, insight, and empowerment in order to move towards a more fulfilling and authentic life.
