Hi! My name is Luke, and I'm the founder of The Healing Tide, a counselling practice built as a place where you can lay down whatever you're carrying and be received. My work is grounded in helping people return, remember, and reconnect to the essence of who they are.
Find your courage and bring it. I’ll meet it with compassion and non judgement. TAKING RESPONSIBILITY: Something is not right AND you are choosing to face it rather than run away, because you want things to change, even though you don’t really know how and you are scared. THAT’S WHERE I COME IN! JOIN & START A REVOLUTION Through sheer courage, you’re choosing to stop, take responsibility and attend to what’s real. You will most likely feel uneasy (maybe afraid, uncertain). Being with these uncomfortable feelings – accepting them, noticing them, trying not to judge them and give them value is a part of the movement towards reconnecting to who you are. I can be with you in an open, non-judgemental and real way. TAKING STOCK Getting to know you, not what others want or need. Hearing and understanding your story – what you carry and who you really are. Honestly taking responsibility for your life and sorting out what’s yours to carry and what’s not. GEARING UP Getting to know the soft and hard edges, the pain and what might be possible. Not leaving any stone unturned and moving closer to understand what you want to do with ‘your one wild and precious life’. LIVING IT You will have re-connected with the heart and soul of who you are, accounted for the truth of what you have lived and have started to sense and dedicate yourself towards a more meaningful way of living. You will have equipped yourself with a range of skills and practices that will be the impetus for your new direction. Understandably this takes time. But the alternative is to continue on the same path you’re on now and nothing will change. Things can shift and I look forward to supporting you.
My intention is to listen as openly as possible– for you to walk me through your story so that together we shape an experience of deep attunement where you feel safe, held and seen. As trust and connection develops, the movement of this healing tide will shift you towards greater self-awareness. Here you may begin to see more clearly the patterns you live by, to give time, attention and tenderness to the hurts you carry, to re-cognise and re-connect to your unique preciousness, to release the grip of old stories and to give to yourself and the world, the gift of who you most truly are.
Guided walks through beautiful natural settings, pausing to share song and story; reflection and conversation. A space to wind down, reconnect and reawaken to the preciousness within and the truth, beauty and goodness of life.
An exploration of spiritual values that can guide a more wholehearted way of living. This exploration will weave song, poetry, images and conversation in a safe and powerful way.

I love supporting people to remind themselves about the goodness that they carry and their inherent worth. I love it when people start to reconnect to their inherent worth - come to value it for themselves and make decisions informed by these insights. It's a privilege hearing people's story and supporting them.
I wanted to find a way of bringing together all of my experiences as an educator and facilitator and my studies and practice as a counsellor, musician and yoga and meditation teacher.
I know the pain of trauma and its impact. Alongside this lived experience, I have worked across a range of industries and sectors as an educator and facilitator. Outside of this, I am a father of three young men. I combine all of this with a natural capacity to create an experience of compassionate and non-judgemental presence. Another point of difference is the way in which I can integrate if needed a creative process through music and poetry, along with yoga and meditation.
I am available to provide services online on any weekday except Tuesday's.
