In his clinical work, Luke supervises the Older Adult RO-DBT service in Manchester England, the first RO-DBT service in the UK exclusively for older adults.

Luke has presented at national and international conferences on subjects relating to older adults, autism, and RO-DBT.

Luke has written for the British Psychological Society on subjects including overcontrol, risk, and the clinical differences that older people present when compared with younger adults
