"At Black Dog Therapy, both Kate and Luke are superb. Both lovely down to earth people. With any sort of therapy, you are always anxious of how things may go, but in my experience with Kate and Luke I felt completely comfortable in a safe non-judgmental environment with people who really listen and provide practical and logically advice and services. I found that the use of EFT and hypnosis was literally life changing and something I incorporate into my everyday life now. It genuinely feels like playing life with a cheat code for helping to deal with overwhelming thoughts and emotions and help to put the brakes on an ever whirring mind. In my first session with Luke I felt and saw a massive change within the hour. Highly recommended!" Kane Lister (Nov 2023)

After years of struggling with anxiety, Luke finally began his own journey into self-help and the world of therapy. It has been a liberating experience for Luke, who describes his transformation as  "a weight being lifted off my shoulders. I feel like a new person, I walk that little taller, I have a deeper love for my family and I feel like I smile from my very soul every day. I really want to help other people feel the same".
