Luana Maki

Luana Maki is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She works with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting and coaching, ADHD and other neurodivergences, and support for LGBT and older or non-religious clients.

As an integrative practitioner, Luana combines therapeutic methods to suit each person’s needs rather than applying a single fixed model. She aims to tailor her approach so people feel understood in the complexity of their experience, drawing on a mixture of evidence-informed skills and responsive clinical judgment.

Her way of working emphasises deep listening and a creative, adaptive process. Sessions are intended to follow the threads of emotion, behaviour, and bodily experience, helping to make sense of personal patterns and to weave those elements into a clearer story that fits each individual’s life.

Luana encourages a perspective of discovery rather than repair - she helps people explore who they are with honesty, patience, and compassion, and adjusts the direction of therapy according to how a person presents on any given day. She is committed to meeting people where they are and to creating an open space in which they can be themselves while working towards meaningful change.
