Does this sound like you?
You don’t have to stay stuck
Sometimes it is hard to put a name to what you are feeling. You just know something needs to change. If any of this feels familiar, you are in the right place.
- You feel stuck, and you are not quite sure how you got here
- Stress or anxiety has started running the show
- You feel disconnected from the people you love most
- You are carrying grief, or a loss you have not had space to process
- You are worn out from pouring into everyone else
- You want to grow, heal, and feel like yourself again
Whatever brought you here, counselling is a space to feel heard, make sense of what you are carrying, and take real steps towards feeling lighter, more connected and more like yourself. You do not need to have the words for it yet — we will work it out together.

Meet your counsellor
Hi, I’m Ivan
I’m the counsellor behind Lumina Counselling. I hold a Bachelor of Counselling and bring over 15 years of experience in pastoral ministry, leadership and family life to every session. I blend evidence-based approaches like CBT and Narrative Therapy with a faith-centred lens, because I believe every season of life — hard or hopeful — is an opportunity to grow.
