My name is Luciana. I am your local Gold Coast therapist, trained in Psychology with 17 years experience in the field - who is passionate about people and personal development. I am confident that I can help you with a number of challenges you may be facing in your life right now. Psychology should be practical and integrative while also giving you the results that you feel and see in action.
Also, for your therapist to do their best work - you want them to be professional, skilled and accountable. I believe that psychology and coaching practices have incredible tools to help everyday, ready people turn their lives around for the better. I take responsibility to keep myself in check by personal work as well as having my work reviewed and supervised regularly.

Services
We do not know what will happen from one moment to the next and this can make it difficult for us to cope. Managing our emotions well is the key to being able to face the uncertainties of life more effectively. We can all be susceptible to certain health issues and it is no different when it comes to our mental health.
Luciana is your Gold Coast Therapist with experience working in both public and private sectors with children, youth and adult populations since 2003. Currently, she works with clients 18+ years, struggling with an array of presentations. Her special interest revolves around adult's emotional functioning in family/ personal and other relationships.
Psychologists study and train for years. One of the things psychologists in academia and research do is investigate the effectiveness of various types of treatments. This is important for us and our clients as it helps make our practice evidence-based. The methods we use have been trialled, tested and investigated many times over so we know that they work for various types of mental health presentations.
At Psychology Central, there are a number of issues and concerns we are qualified to help you deal with. These range from diagnosed mental health conditions, to relationship and family issues, workplace concerns and challenges in the area of personal growth. Our Psychologists are based on the Gold Coast, are fully registered, professional and experienced.
Because you want a therapist who is dedicated to and passionate about their work. In my work I am process-oriented, responsive and passionate about helping clients achieve their therapeutic goals. In life I am passionate about relationships and families, quality fun times as well as ongoing personal growth.

I've been known Luciana for a couple of years now and since we had our first session, I knew straight away she was the person/professional I was looking for. Since then, she's guided me through tough times, has given me a lot of joy and has helped me to get my confidence back. I highly recommend Luciana's services and can't thank her enough for such an amazing job she has done to help me.

Would highly recommend Luciana. She has changed my life so much. I first started seeing her over 2 years ago, and the life changes she helped me through I will be forever grateful for. If I hadn’t of found her I’m not sure where my life would be. She is one that genuinely cares about each and everyone she works with which makes every visit so easy.

I met Luciana 2 years ago when I was going through grief, loss, relationship issues and the blues. She was a shinning light through a very dark time for me and helped me on so many levels.
She has such a kind, caring, compassionate nature and is so present with you in every session. She really got me, she understood, and for that I am forever grateful.

After several years of seeking therapy for my childhood trauma, I had almost lost faith in psychological support. I'm so glad that I didn't give up before discovering Psychology Central. Luciana has guided me to see the world in a whole new light. Her warm, open-minded approach to therapy is uniquely encouraging and positively influences my life on a daily basis.

In the past 3 years working with Luciana Franicevic at Psychology Central i found her to be a wonderful and professional psychologist. I often receive such positive feedback from her clients on how her counselling sessions have really improved their health. I would highly recommend Luciana if you were looking for a psychologist who has expertise in anxiety, stress, depression, relationships, anger management and women's health.
