Light changes everything
luke mihail, counsellor
Hi, I’m Luke.
The heart behind Lumi is simple. I want children, youth, and families to feel safe, supported, and understood. I know that when a child is struggling, the whole family feels the weight of it.
For the past 18 years, I’ve worked across schools and community settings; not just as a counsellor, but as a witness to the incredible resilience of families. My journey from Australia to the United Sates and now back in Geelong has shaped a singular belief: every story matters, and every challenge is an opportunity to find a new way forward.
I don’t just provide strategies; I provide a space to breathe. Lumi exists to bring light into the tougher moments and help families move from just ‘getting by’ to truly thriving.
Now accepting new families. Let's begin.
who I help.
At Lumi Counselling, I’m here for children, teens, and families who are doing their best but feeling stuck. Some days it’s tears at the dinner table, some days it’s slammed doors, and some days it’s just silence you don’t know how to break. You don’t have to face it alone.

"So many professionals gave us generic advice, but Luke listened first. He gave us strategies that fit our son’s strengths instead of forcing him to change who he is. The difference has been incredible."
