About Luke

Education

I completed my 4-year Bachelor of Behavioural Science (Psychology; First Class Honours) at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in 2017. 

I began studying a Master of Clinical Psychology degree at the University of Queensland (UQ) in 2019. As part of this degree, I completed a year long internship in the UQ Psychology Clinic. I then completed two external placements as a provisional psychologist in government facilities for people with complex mental health difficulties. 

I have sought accreditation as a couples therapist through a process of professional development, and supervision, and review. I hold accreditation as a certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist with the International Center for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (ICEEFT)

My professional background

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in residential facilities for adolescents with mental health difficulties. I also worked as a senior research technician in a research team focused on substance use and mental health. While completing my masters degree, I worked on helplines focused on counseling and support for people navigating the family law system. Before beginning work in private practice I worked for 18 months as a gambling counselor.
