About Luke Boss

Luke Boss is an Australian university-credentialed counsellor with 17 years of professional experience working with people impacted by addiction, trauma, grief and low self-esteem. He has worked in residential rehabilitation settings for substance dependence and in roles connected to the criminal justice system, and he draws on lived experience to inform a holistic, recovery-focused approach. Luke works with a range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and he tailors therapeutic work to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

He practices with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and centers honesty, an open mind and willingness as foundations for change. Treatment plans and therapy conversations are adapted to meet specific needs, goals and life circumstances, with attention to practical recovery from adverse experiences. Taking the step to begin therapy is often challenging, and Luke acknowledges that courage while supporting clients as they start their path toward healing. He holds ACA, a professional counselling credential, and accepts new clients in Australia.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build practical habits to live in line with those values. It is useful for managing difficult thoughts and feelings and for supporting recovery from addictive patterns.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connection patterns and emotional responses. This approach can be helpful for trauma, abandonment concerns, and difficulties in close relationships by fostering more secure ways of relating.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication. It is often used when strong emotions, self-destructive behaviors or relationship challenges are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Luke collaborates with clients to choose and adapt methods based on each person’s needs, goals and preferences. Licensed professionals work together with clients to monitor progress and adjust the plan as therapy unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from home. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care across distances within Australia, and provide multiple ways for clients to engage that match their comfort and communication style.
