Lisa Inside Addiction Avis 

Luke is really easy to talk to, I am currently having counselling with him and even in my first few sessions he helped me change my way of thinking and make some really positive changes in my life to ultimately make me happy.

I had an incredible journey with Sharon from Lisa Inside Addiction. From the first session I felt genuine compassion and connection which helped me to open up myself and mind to the purpose. I think I booked a double session for the second! She was challenging at a level I felt comfortable, encouraging me to find the answers I had within, always understanding, never judging. After just a few sessions everything began to get clearer, I noticed improvements in myself and my life, I was taking actions I had never dared to face, and life just got better. This continued throughout. The handouts and worksheets really helped to simplify some of the things I had going on in my head - would recommend paying close attention to these, this is your own responsibility, you are accountable to yourself for this. Its as much about what you put in that determines what you get out. I was sad to end the journey with Sharon but knew that my personal journey had only just begun and feel confident I have the tools and inner strength to continue growing, enjoying each day and each challenge, and celebrating each success as it comes. Whilst I will never be in control of my emotions, I can chose how I react to them - this realisation was truly life changing. I am in a place I would much rather be now and can't even imagine going back. Looking forward to continuing with monthly meetings and glad to have found someone I can rely on in future should life throw a me curveball and I need the support. In terms of value for money, this was really very good indeed. I didn't ever feel timed, or rushed. It felt like having a true friend that genuinely cared. You can pay a lot more but I'm not sure you'd necessarily get better. The team get my wholehearted endorsement.

I really enjoyed my sessions with Luke - i went into therapy having lost all confidence in myself and my thoughts, and feared that these interactions and sessions would feel transactional as I had experienced with other therapists before him. But Luke came across genuinely interested and wanting to help, not too serious either - he made me feel comfortable and understood - and thanks to him, I've regained hope and a positive outlook, and i'm surprising myself everyday at how strong I am becoming mentally thanks to the tools he has given me.

Luke was very friendly and welcoming, and was very clear and descriptive when delivering the sessions of DBT. I feel like after completing the 12 weeks I have more clarity and control over my thoughts and emotions. The delivery each week was thoughtful and clearly thought out, discussing how to take skills and make them personal to you. A very engaging and interactive experience, one I am positive and pleased to experience myself.

The support I have received from Luke over the last 12 weeks have profoundly have a positive effect on myself and my loved ones around me. He has provided me with clear tools to deal with stress and anxiety.Luke as provided me with a rich curriculum and materials that I can keep for life and I can refer to them at any time, combining a wide variety of approaches for me to chose which ones are more suitable for my own personality and needs. His professionalism is outstanding and his own journey and story is an example of life and proof that there is light at the end of the tunnel. His story and what he has achieved at such a young age will certainly inspire you in your own journey for recovery.

Amazing experience with Luke as a therapist, It has been a struggle to find the right one for me however now I have found Luke. I feel like my life is finally on track and everyday gets alittle bit easier.

Luke has been fantastic & I would recommend to anyone who suffers with addictions I don't think I would have been able to do it with out his advice & help!

I contacted Luke regarding a habit my Son had that was impacting his life negatively.

Luke is very approachable, professional and knowledgeable. He made us feel extremely comfortable and my Son responded very positively to Luke's approach.

Luke always made me feel as a Mum that I was supported too and always made himself available to keep me updated with my Son's progress.

I would recommend Luke to anyone particularly young men as he can really relate to what they are going through. I also wouldn't hesitate to contact Luke myself if I had any issues in the future as he is extremely friendly, helpful and approachable.

Luke has been incredible with his support throughout my 12 session program with him. He has been understanding, supportive and given me techniques that have changed habits caused by addiction. Could not recommend him more. again
Thanks

I was hesitant about therapy as a concept and questioned if it would benefit me at the start. Firstly, Luke is a great counsellor. He is empathetic, knowledgeable and really makes the sessions fit you. Counselling is not a magic wand where you’re suddenly ‘cured’, but much of a journey and Luke really supports you along the way. I would absolutely recommend Luke wholeheartedly.

After a couple of years within the abusive relationship and codependency - I feel lost in my life. When I started the treatment journey of DBT with Luke I reopened my eyes towards meaningful things and get on the right track of the healthy and stable life. With the help of Luke, I explored various psychological interventions such as Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Distress Tolerance and Emotional Regulation. He is so caring and gentle, always guides me patiently and teaches me how to do medication at home. He always well prepared for our session and give me some homework to completed by myself. When I completed the DBT with Luke, I literally become a new version of myself. I gain my confidence back and carry on my beautiful life with a stronger mind. I do appreciate the chance to learn things about myself with Luke and the treatment has changed my life for a life long impact. I hope more people will have the same dramatic change in their life with help with Luke. My friends and family are saying I'm a living testimony of how big change from where I was to who I am now.

Excellent and honest advice from someone who has a wealth of experience in many aspects of life.

When I went to Luke I really didn’t believe I could give up my addiction and become the person I am today. But after we started to work together he made me feel confident and not only teach me about addiction but support me in dealing with the underlying emotions. I have never been so happy and fulfilled. Together me and Luke discovered a real meaning in my life. I couldn’t recommend him enough.

A thorough and insightful look a addiction through the eyes of people who have experienced this issue themselves.

The most charismatic counsellor I have met in my life. Not only he has all the knowledge and expertise that is needed but he is also able to see things from the patient's perspective and reach conclusions in a holistic way. He has a genuine interest in his clients and he is one of the most open-minded people I know. 110% Recommended.

Very insightful & inspiring. I learnt so much about addiction & myself.
To be understood in this world is priceless & Luke made me feel valued & listened to.
I would greatly recommend!
