Luca Cantavenera

Luca is a Registered Psychologist who works across our Bayside and Hawthorn clinics. He is committed to supporting men to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives, particularly when navigating the challenges that life inevitably brings. Luca values the transformative power of genuine human connection and brings a grounded, warm, and authentic approach to his work. He aims to help men better understand themselves, work through longstanding emotional patterns, and reconnect with a stronger sense of purpose and direction.

Luca works collaboratively with clients to explore the underlying patterns, beliefs, and emotional experiences that shape how they relate to themselves, others, and the world around them. By developing greater self-understanding and emotional awareness, clients can begin to move beyond unhelpful patterns and develop more secure, flexible, and fulfilling ways of living and relating.

He works with men experiencing depression, anxiety, anger, addictions, stress, low self-esteem, harsh self-criticism, perfectionism, relationship challenges, ADHD, life transitions, grief, and those who feel stuck in longstanding emotional patterns linked to earlier life experiences.

Luca holds a strong belief in the resilience of the human spirit and the idea that meaning can be found in life regardless of circumstance. By identifying personal values and aligning them with action, even small steps forward can become deeply purposeful and significant.

Outside of work, Luca enjoys staying active through soccer, tennis, and the gym, as well as spending time in nature. He also values time with family and friends and recognises the importance of nurturing meaningful relationships and connections.

Luca sees clients aged 16+
