When working with couples, Luke makes sure to create a warm and safe environment. He believes that, with patience and understanding, couples can transform their relationship into a healthy and fulfilling partnership. He aims to help people achieve a healthy balance between personal autonomy and interdependence with their partner. Luke uses EFT for couples to assist with issues such as emotional disconnection, difficulties with communication, or desire to process challenging events such as infidelity or stressful life events.

When working with individual clients, Luke integrates a variety of approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and systems-based therapies. He is interested in helping people overcome difficulties with anxiety, low mood, trauma-related symptoms, addictions, and relationship problems. He values his ability to reflect an understanding of how each client experiences their life, without making assumptions about clients’ values or goals.
