I specialise in parents, pre and post-natal.
I'm Luke. I offer help for those who feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed and want to understand themselves better. That can cover struggling with relationships, career transitions, low mood, or everyday stress, and a search for clarity, practical tools, and a safe space to explore thoughts and feelings.
My ideal client values reflection and honesty, and wants to feel more in control, confident, and connected - to themselves, to others, and to their life. Together, we focus on insight, coping, and meaningful change that can help life feel more manageable, purposeful, and fulfilling.

On the outside, you look calm and capable. Inside, you are running on empty, quietly carrying burnout, anxiety, and the pressure to hold it all together. You may have spent years adapting, coping, or masking, while privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted underneath. I provide a warm, engaged, and collaborative space for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and repeating relationship patterns. My approach is deeply relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in understanding the nervous system, paying close attention to how stress and past experiences shape both your mind and body.

You over think every detail, constantly going over events from the past, trying to pre-empt the future.
You're exhausted by your own inner monologue, one that never seems to quieten down (unless the music is on really loud!) but you're great at putting one foot in front of the other, getting on with it, not making a fuss.
So, what keeps you stuck, drives your patterns?
In sessions we can untangle that self-criticism, look at where it may come from so that you can start to make choices based on your needs.

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
