Luke, a Registered Social Worker with over a decade of experience, offers dedicated support for individuals seeking help with mental health challenges, substance use concerns, relationship difficulties, male fertility issues and compulsive sexual behaviours or atypical sexual interests. Additionally, Luke provides therapeutic services for individuals facing anger management issues, personality, anxiety and mood disorders. Understanding that discussions around sex, addictions, relationships, and mental health can feel daunting and vulnerable, Luke is committed to fostering a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate therapeutic environment. Luke’s also conducts risk assessments for individuals navigating legal challenges related to sexual offences.

Drawing on evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI), Luke tailors his approach to meet each client’s unique needs. His focus is not only on addressing immediate concerns but also on empowering clients to develop long-term coping strategies and self-awareness.

Luke holds a Master of Social Work from Robert Gordon University in Scotland, complementing his Master of Arts in Psychology from the University of Aberdeen. He is a registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. His professional journey began in Scotland, where he worked as a Criminal Justice Social Worker across various municipalities. After relocating to Canada, Luke joined the Sexual Behaviours Clinic at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), and focused on working with the Talking for Change program to prevent use of child sexual abuse material or sexual offending against children. He currently provides therapeutic interventions at the University of Toronto, supporting staff, students, and faculty.

Reaching out for support is a significant and often challenging step, requiring both courage and trust. Luke is here to help clients embark on their journey of self-discovery, acceptance, and self-compassion. To ensure a strong therapeutic alliance, he offers a free 20-minute consultation to prospective clients.
