luke mihail, counsellor
Hi, I’m Luke.
I work with children, teens, and families when things start to feel heavy at home, at school, or inside a young person’s world.
If your child is struggling with anxiety, big emotions, school stress, behaviour, or friendship challenges, I know it can start to feel like the whole family is carrying that weight.
At Lumi, I offer a calm, safe space where young people can feel understood, build trust, and begin finding a way forward.
For the past 20 years, I’ve devoted my career to understanding and working with children, young people, and families across schools, community services, youth work, and counselling spaces. My approach is warm, practical, and built around connection first.
I know every young person is different. Some need time to talk; some need help making sense of big feelings; others need support with confidence, friendships, anxiety, or finding the language for what is going on inside.
If things have been feeling heavy, you do not have to wait until they reach a breaking point.
I’m now accepting new families. Let’s begin.

At Lumi Counselling, I’m here for children, teens, and families who are doing their best but feeling stuck. Some days it’s tears at the dinner table, some days it’s slammed doors, and some days it’s just silence you don’t know how to break. You don’t have to face it alone.

"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."
