Testimonials

"Luke has been instrumental in helping both of my children navigate their mental health challenges. He has been working with my family for the past two years and I cannot speak highly enough about his professionalism, empathy and dedication to his clients. From the first time we met, he put my children at ease and made them feel comfortable sharing their worries and fears. He has provided invaluable support and guidance to my teenage son who has been struggling with anxiety and depression. Luke has worked closely with him to develop coping strategies and has provided him with a safe space to talk freely about his emotions. My son has made significant progress under Luke’s guidance. Luke has also helped my daughter who has been diagnosed to be on the spectrum around when she was six years old and has struggled with her social skills, anxiety, learning skills as she can’t concentrate for too long. Luke has worked with her to develop practical tools to help her focus and stay organized. His patience and understanding have made a huge difference in his academic performance and overall self-esteem. What sets Luke apart is his ability to connect with his clients on a personal level. He takes the time to listen to their concerns, validates their feelings, and provides them with the tools they need to succeed. He is warm, compassionate, and genuinely cares about his patients' well-being. In summary, I highly recommend Luke as a counsellor. He has made a profound impact on my family's mental health and wellbeing, and we are forever grateful for his support and care."

"From the first time I met Luke, I found him engaging and knowledgeable. One of our first engagements I felt an instant connection and I was surprised that Luke was able to connect with me so quickly through conversation and reading my body language - this for me, provided trust that Luke was genuinely interested in me. Luke’s ability to listen and challenge me by asking the tough questions was empowering; and at no stage did I feel unsafe. Luke’s ability to combine his knowledge and personal experiences to challenge my beliefs, got the best out of me and was energising! Luke engaged me through a combination of coaching and counselling techniques to really help me deeply understand more about myself, and what I want in life; and how this presents both personally with my family and professionally at work. If you are looking for a coach to really help you make a change in life, I couldn’t recommend Luke more highly."
