Luke Baker

I’m a BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with eight years of clinical experience across the NHS and private practice. Based in London, I offer online therapy to adults and young people aged 16 and above. I work with difficulties including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress/burnout, low self-esteem and perfectionism. I aim to create an open and reflective space where you can feel confident exploring the challenges you face.

Experience

I have worked extensively within NHS Talking Therapies services, supporting clients with a wide range of psychological difficulties. I developed my clinical experience further on a specialist pathway for complex conditions, working with clients with severe and enduring difficulties.

I subsequently broadened this experience within the private sector, working as an affiliate therapist for two established private clinics before fully transitioning into independent practice through Sea of Light Therapy.

Using a series of therapeutic techniques grounded in contemporary science, I will help you to achieve insights into how your thoughts and actions influence your life experience. This will build a foundation of knowledge from which you can start to create positive change.

Equipped with an enhanced sense of clarity, you will learn actionable strategies that are designed to sustainably change your key symptoms. I will support you in exploring and refining your application of these techniques to increase their effectiveness. Together we will explore how formative life events have shaped your beliefs and values. We will systematically investigate the accuracy and consequences of them, whilst updating beliefs that have now become self-limiting.

The aim of therapy is to increase your level of self-knowledge and to help you develop a practical skillset, so that you feel confident in confronting life’s challenges by the time our sessions come to a close. Therapy will help you to identify and surpass your limitations, so that you can work towards living a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
