How Luke applies Narrative and ACT methods in online sessions
Luke draws on Narrative therapy to help people separate themselves from problematic stories. This approach focuses on identifying the stories that shape feelings and behavior, then exploring alternative narratives that open up different choices. It can help with relationship patterns, identity work, and sexuality concerns.Luke also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which centers on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT supports identifying personal values and taking small, practical steps toward those values. This approach can assist with anxiety, stress, and decision-making during life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Luke will work with each person to see whether narrative techniques, ACT practices, or a mix of both fits their goals and preferences. The process includes trying methods in session and adjusting based on what helps most.
