Luana Maki

Luana Maki is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. Luana works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and life changes, and lists life purpose among their focus areas. They also help with relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD and trauma-related problems.

Luana describes their practice as integrative, drawing on several therapeutic approaches to suit each person. Sessions focus on attentive listening and using different methods together rather than a single fixed model. The work often looks at emotion, behaviour and bodily experience to understand what keeps problems going.

People come for practical help with low mood, difficulties trusting or connecting, coping after loss, and the strain of parenting or caregiving. Luana also supports those questioning relationship structure, including polyamory and non-monogamous arrangements, and people exploring BDSM or kink as part of their identity or relationships.

Therapy with Luana aims to be responsive and adaptable. Sessions are described as creative and evolving, with ideas tested and adjusted as the client and counsellor learn together. This can include short-term solution-focused steps alongside deeper psychodynamic reflection and mindfulness practices.

Luana works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. Their BACP credential is listed as the professional registration. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

How Luana uses different therapies online

Client-Centred Therapy is about listening closely and following the client’s concerns. It focuses on the person’s experience and aims to make space for them to tell their story and decide what matters next. This approach can help with low self-esteem, relationship questions and life purpose concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices and ways to relate differently to difficult thoughts and sensations. It can help reduce anxiety, manage stress and support people living with chronic pain or low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try things collaboratively, adjusting methods and goals based on what the client prefers and what helps in practice. Sessions may combine short-term solution-focused steps with reflective psychodynamic listening and mindfulness exercises.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also allow sessions without being on camera if that helps, or quieter, more flexible scheduling to suit a work break or caregiving routine.
