About Me
Hi, I'm Luke and I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist. I have over 10 years experience working in a variety of mental health settings where I have developed an extensive skill set to work with a variety of difficulties. Through my experience of working in primary and secondary care therapy settings, I am skilled in working with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, OCD, social anxiety and PTSD. Having worked extensively in different physical health settings, I am also skilled in working with difficulties with coming to terms with and learning to live alongside long term health conditions and cognitive impairment.
Additionally, I have gained specialist skills and knowledge in working with issues related to sexual health, HIV and problems with sexual functioning through my roles in sexual health services and in working with issues related to transitions through later life and loss through my work in services for older people. I believe that each individual is the expert in their own lives and has the ability to overcome any diffiuclties they may experience. I provide a warm, non-judgemental approach that seeks to empower you to tap into this ability and learnt to become your own therapist.
