THERAPY THAT IS
HONEST AND SAFE
Creating a warm and safe environment that encourages self exploration

Luke Bands Counselling Psychologist —
LET'S MAKE SENSE OF YOUR PROBLEMS
I am here to help you understand yourself and the challenges you face, and grow and overcome them. I am a counselling psychologist whose focus is on creating a safe relationship that encourages self exploration, and really getting to know you. Therapy should be specifically tailored to your unique psychology.
I specialise in long term individual psychotherapy for adults and teenagers. I am primarily psychodynamic in my approach to therapy. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on improving functioning in different personal domains, such as relationships, impulses and emotions. Deep insight and emotional development are examples of important goals of this kind of therapy. I help you understand yourself, and develop more confidence in dealing with your internal experiences.
