About Luke
Luke Simmons helps people who are feeling overwhelmed at work and in life. He focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, career strain and the ongoing effects of trauma and abuse. He writes and talks in a calm, direct way and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone who is nervous about the first step.
Luke is credentialed with AHPRA and has three years of professional experience. He works with people on common workplace difficulties such as burnout, performance pressure and conflict. He also supports people coping with panic, mood changes and social anxiety that affect day to day life.
Sessions are built around what the client needs that week. Luke uses clear, practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. He keeps explanations plain and gives simple exercises to practise between sessions.
He pays attention to how loss, separation or feelings of abandonment show up in work and relationships. Luke also addresses issues around sexuality, self-worth and loneliness in a straightforward way. He aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space and adapts his approach as the conversation unfolds.
If you are ready to try talking things through, Luke will work with you to set realistic goals and small steps. He encourages people to move at a pace that feels tolerable while tracking progress across sessions.
How CBT fits with online therapy and practical work
Luke uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) as a main approach. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and focuses on small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic, low mood and workplace stress because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which techniques to focus on. That collaborative process helps tailor practical exercises and weekly goals to everyday life.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work hours, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when things feel urgent. They also allow homework tasks and real-world experiments to be reviewed in the moment, so sessions can be closely tied to day-to-day challenges.
