More about Luke

Something people are often confused by is my Greek surname. “You don’t look greek!” they say. Actually, I was born in Bangkok, but I was adopted into a Greek/Australian family when I was 3 months old, so that explains the surname. I grew up in Adelaide, SA but now call Melbourne my home.   I’ve been told more than once that I’m an easy person to confide in, consequently I’ve always had a lot of friends and family come to me with challenges or seeking advice. For this reason, being a psychologist seemed to feel right for me. While I must confess, it is an incredibly challenging occupation, the reward of joining people on a path of self discovery and growth is one that makes it all worthwhile. I’m pleased to say that almost everyday I am inspired by my client’s journeys. They make me believe that there is hope for everyone, no matter how severe their challenges, to lead a fulfilling and happy life.
