SCROLL
If you or someone you care about is feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure about what’s ahead, you’re definitely not alone. Life can get pretty complicated for teenagers and young adults, and it’s often hard for parents to see their kids struggling.
I’m Lukas Winward, a qualified counsellor supporting Beaumaris and nearby suburbs. I primarily work with young people, their parents, and families. From anxiety and grief to school refusal and addiction, I offer a supportive space to help you or your loved one navigate life’s challenges.
I see clients in Beaumaris and surrounding areas, with flexible options for in-person or online counselling.
Counselling in Beaumaris
Beaumaris is a coastal suburb known for its natural beauty, schools, and family-oriented lifestyle. While it’s a great environment to grow up in, young people and their families still face emotional challenges that can be hard to navigate alone.
Teens and young adults here might struggle with perfectionism, peer relationships, or a sense of isolation. Parents often carry emotional burdens too, unsure how best to support their kids.
Counselling helps unpack those pressures and builds new pathways for communication, confidence, and connection.
What I Help With
I provide counselling services for young people and their families on a wide variety of issues, including:
-
Failure to Launch: supporting those feeling stuck or unsure about next steps
-
Friendships: dealing with social challenges, bullying, or loneliness
-
Capacity Building: developing confidence, emotional skills, and resilience
-
Addiction: gaming, screen/device use, smoking, drugs and alcohol, pornography, gambling, and more
-
Anxiety: general worries, social anxiety, and pressure to perform
-
Suicide Ideation: caring support for those dealing with suicidal thoughts
-
Self Harm: understanding and working through self-injury
-
Grief & Loss: coping with bereavement or major life changes
-
School Refusal: uncovering causes and planning a path back
-
Parental Issues: improving communication and emotional safety at home
-
Pathways & Career Counselling: helping young adults with study, work, and life choices
-
Depression: managing low mood, lack of motivation, and disconnection
You or your child don’t have to face these challenges alone and change is absolutely possible.

A Golfing Counsellor
Lukas Winward is also the founder of The Golfing Counsellor, an innovative therapy experience that combines the therapeutic benefits of counselling with the calming environment of a golf course.
For teenagers and young adults, traditional therapy settings can sometimes feel intimidating or stressful. That’s why incorporating golf - a sport close to my heart with courses like Cheltenham Golf Club, Sandringham, and Brighton Golf Course nearby - can offer a more relaxed and mindful way to approach counselling. Golf provides a sense of calm and grounding that can make the therapeutic process feel more accessible and natural.
It’s also a way some clients connect with me, especially young people or parents who enjoy the game. Sometimes golf becomes a natural bridge to deeper conversations about stress, identity, or discipline.
Counselling for Beaumaris Teens, Young Adults & Families
It’s okay to ask for support. Whether you’re navigating a tough time or just feel like things could be better, counselling can help you or your teen feel more grounded and confident.
