Luke Eastell
Counsellor
Luke is a counselling and addictions practitioner who works from a pluralistic, humanistic approach, committed to supporting people through healing, growth, and meaningful change. Drawing on modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed practice, he helps clients identify their strengths, build resilience, and move toward the life they want.
Originally from England, Luke brings lived experience, warmth, empathy, and a grounded presence into the therapy space. He has experience supporting both rangatahi and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, substance use, ADHD, relationship challenges, and life transitions. His focus is on creating a safe, collaborative, and mana-enhancing environment, walking alongside clients with compassion, clarity, and hope.
Outside of counselling, Luke finds connection through music, ocean swims, and time in the outdoors, bringing calm, authenticity, and balance into his work with others.
