Psychodynamic Therapy in Croydon and Online
For adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where their struggles come from
Therapy in Croydon
If you’ve found your way here, there’s a good chance the ways you’ve been coping aren’t working as well as they used to.
You might feel like you’re on autopilot - overthinking, zoning out, or avoiding difficult feelings.
Maybe you second-guess yourself in relationships, unsure why the same patterns keep repeating.
Perhaps the urge to escape - from a job, a relationship, or life altogether - feels stronger than usual.
Or you might turn to food, Netflix, porn, alcohol, or work to get through… even if it never really lasts.
Maybe you carry the quiet belief that you’re not “enough” - not smart enough, attractive enough, kind enough, capable enough.
Whatever it is, therapy can help.
And we don’t have to rush to fix it.
We can start by trying to understand it.
Things can be different…
My approach is grounded in psychodynamic therapy — a way of exploring not just what is happening, but why it might make sense.
You don’t need to have the right words.
We’ll begin wherever you are.
Don’t Just Take My Word For It
“I’d been delaying getting counselling for years, but I’m so glad I finally did it. Luke has helped me work through a lot over the past few months and I’m so grateful for his support. It’s been challenging but I feel he created a truly safe space for me, no judgement, and I feel so supported and understood.”
“I was pleasantly surprised by my therapy sessions with Luke. At the start, I went in with the mindset that I had a problem to be cured and Luke would provide the fix. As it happened, that wasn’t the case and I learnt a great deal in the process. Sometimes you need to just get things off your chest, sometimes you need to understand the things that lead to your problem and other times it could be something totally different. The main thing for me is I have better self-awareness that helps me not only understand my own behaviour but enables me to appreciate different perspectives. I’m very grateful to Luke for his objectivity and approachability and would recommend therapy with him.”
“I have spent the better part of 3 years seeing Luke for counselling and I’ve never had a counsellor that’s been quite so understanding. Even at my worst points he knew the right thing to say even when I wasn’t willing to hear it. I was able to open up and really explore certain issues with him and I’m really grateful for the support he gave me. If I need counselling again I’m definitely going back to Luke.”
“Working with Luke was always a constructive exercise. He has an amazing capacity to really listen and at key moments asks very relevant and pertinent questions to help you better understand your actions, thought patterns or the stories that you tell yourself. Through our sessions, I was able to develop more self-awareness, gain perspective and challenge myself to address certain notions or past behaviors. It was a truly therapeutic and constructive experience that I could never have gone through without his help. Thank you!”
“When I started my sessions with Luke, he tailored his approach to my needs and circumstances in a very professional way, genuinely looking to get the best outcome of our sessions. Our discussions were always very open and insightful and challenged me in a positive way. He is very reliable and understanding. I felt very good during and after our sessions, during difficult times as well; it was a space for sharing and reflecting. I would recommend Luke to people like me, who want to find a similar space and explore it with some guidance.”
“I highly recommend online counselling with Luke. He helped me through a dark time, and after just a few meetings I was feeling reinvigorated and ready to go again. Luke was great at noticing the unconscious patterns in my life and helping me to tease out their sources. I discovered a lot about myself and what triggers me. I found all our talks very insightful and they helped me greatly.”
“Luke has a highly impactful way of blending supportive enquiry and reflection. His skills and compassion helped me to cope with the most distressing time of my life. By talking to Luke, I was able to make things clearer, to know I had a choice, to know I would be ok and to experience very significant loss and pain without injury as my life seemed to change before my eyes. I would thoroughly recommend Luke as a compassionate helper who can be alongside you as you make sense of things, fail and get up again, learn, adapt and grow.”
