Hi, I’m Luke.
If your child or teenager is struggling with anxiety, big emotions, school, behaviour or friendships, it can start to feel like the whole family is carrying it.
I’ve spent over 20 years working alongside children, teenagers and families across schools, youth work, community services and counselling.
My approach is warm, practical and built around connection first. I don’t expect a young person to walk into counselling and immediately start talking about their feelings.
Sometimes we talk. Sometimes we play chess, kick a footy or just spend some time getting comfortable.
The first job is helping them feel safe enough to be themselves.
You don’t have to wait until things reach breaking point to get support.
I’m now accepting new families.
who I help.
At Lumi, I work with kids and teens who are anxious, overwhelmed, angry, avoidant, or simply hard to reach.
Counselling is practical, creative, and built around who they are, so they can feel understood, make sense of their amazing brain, and start moving forward.

"So many professionals gave us generic advice, but Luke listened first. He gave us strategies that fit our son’s strengths instead of forcing him to change who he is. The difference has been incredible."
