About Luana Maki

Luana Maki is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with three years of hands-on experience supporting people through anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, ADHD and other neurodivergences, stress, abuse, motivation concerns, self-esteem challenges, and depression. They blend compassion with clinical skill to offer a style of therapy that adapts to each person rather than asking people to fit a single method. Luana describes their work as a creative, responsive process that listens carefully to emotion, behaviour, and bodily experience and then weaves those threads into a personalised path forward.

Working in an integrative way means Luana draws on a range of therapeutic ideas and techniques to meet the needs of each client. Sessions are built around deep listening and an intuitive, collaborative approach that treats clients as whole people rather than collections of symptoms. The aim is not to 'fix' something that is broken - because the client is not broken - but to help people discover who they truly are with patience, curiosity, and practical support.

Luana holds the credential BACP, which denotes membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings an ethos of empathy, evidence-informed practice, and adaptability to every client relationship. They prioritise creating a welcoming space where people can explore difficult experiences and rewrite their personal narratives at a pace that suits them.

For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions - online therapy is widely used and can offer outcomes comparable to traditional in-person work for many individuals.



A major benefit is flexibility. People can choose the format that suits them best, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to find time for therapy alongside daily responsibilities and to connect in the way that feels most comfortable.



Licensed professionals and therapists working remotely use established therapeutic approaches to support clients, and you have the option to change therapists if you need a different fit. Online therapy can make it simpler to access consistent support and to continue work even when schedules or circumstances change.
