He completed four years of formal study and began his practice co-facilitating addiction support groups.

Background and approach
Luke views addictive behaviour as often rooted in deeper emotional or relational issues and looks to uncover those connections. Luke places relationships at the centre of healing. He believes much pain is formed in relationships and that change happens through new ways of relating.
A lot of his work focuses on how past experiences shape current patterns of behaviour and interaction. Vulnerability is an important theme in his practice. He encourages honest, open reflection so people can understand themselves better and try different ways of relating.
Sessions aim to help clients build healthier habits and clearer choices over time. Luke aims for practical, straightforward work in sessions. Conversations are plain and focused on what feels most useful.
He works in English and practices across video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Luke often works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how relationships shape coping and behaviour. One common approach he uses looks at patterns formed in past relationships and how they repeat now; this helps people understand why they react a certain way and opens up new options for behaving differently. Another strand of work centres on addressing addictive behaviour by tracing its links to emotional pain and relational wounds, helping people spot triggers and try safer choices.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to figure out which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting over time as progress is made. Clients are invited to shape the pace and focus of sessions so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation even when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can fit into short breaks or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for ongoing check-ins and flexible contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the same therapeutic focus.
