Luke Totty, BACP

Luke Totty is a qualified counsellor and a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). He began his counselling pathway by co-facilitating addiction support groups while completing four years of formal study, and has since accumulated over three years of experience and more than 3,000 hours working in clinical settings.

He supports people facing a wide range of difficulties including trauma, relationship problems, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and issues related to alcohol and substance use. Luke views addiction as frequently reflecting deeper emotional or relational struggles, and he works with clients to trace how past experiences and relationships influence current patterns of behaviour.

Central to his approach is the belief that pain is often created within relationships while healing occurs through relationship. Much of his work concentrates on helping clients navigate and repair connections with partners, parents, siblings, and most importantly with themselves. He emphasizes vulnerability as a route to authentic connection and treats the therapy space as an opportunity for people to explore their inner world, develop healthier ways of relating, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Based in the United Kingdom, Luke brings focused experience supporting those with addictions and related concerns such as abandonment, control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, questions of life purpose, and men's issues. He practices in English and approaches each person with a commitment to understanding the relational roots of their difficulties.
