About Luke
Luke Simmons is a counsellor registered with AHPRA and has three years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress and anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and career concerns. He aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space for people who are feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start.
Luke adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions are focused and practical, with simple strategies people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. He also helps with panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia, loneliness and workplace stress. Issues such as separation and feelings of abandonment are addressed in clear, step-by-step ways.
Luke pays attention to mood patterns and supports people working through self-worth and sexuality questions. People can expect straightforward explanations and a calm, steady approach during sessions. Luke encourages small, achievable changes and checks progress as therapy continues.
He believes taking the first step matters, and he aims to make each session feel manageable. Practically, sessions can be tailored to be shorter or more in-depth depending on what someone needs that week. The focus is on helping people find better ways to cope, reduce distress, and regain a sense of direction in day-to-day life.
CBT-based care and flexible online sessions
Luke uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot patterns of thinking that feed anxiety and low mood. CBT focuses on practical techniques - for example testing unhelpful thoughts, trying new behaviours, and building daily routines that reduce stress. These tools often help with panic attacks, social anxiety and workplace worries.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences, and adjust methods as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and focused on real-life change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make therapy more flexible around work, family and daily life, and let people keep momentum between sessions.
