luke mihail, counsellor
Hi, I'm Luke.
I've spent over 20 years working alongside children, teenagers and families across schools, youth work, community services and counselling.
I've intentionally chosen to specialise in counselling for kids and teens, while working closely with the families who support them. Because when a young person is struggling, it often affects the whole family. And I believe parents deserve support and practical tools too.
At lumi, I do things a little differently. Counselling doesn't have to mean sitting on a couch talking about feelings for 50 minutes. We make sessions fun, relaxed and engaging, using games, creative activities and hands-on tools to help young people open up, build confidence and work through life's challenges.
There's always a purpose behind the fun.
We take the time to build genuine connections, work towards meaningful goals and give young people practical strategies they can use beyond the counselling room. And wherever appropriate, we bring parents along on that journey too.
That's what lumi is all about.

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."
