Luana Lamantea

I can help you explore the difficulties, worries or life experiences that have brought you to therapy, at a pace that feels right for you. As an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, I draw on different therapeutic approaches to support your individual needs, whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, loss, trauma, identity, low self-esteem, life transitions or relationship difficulties. I offer a confidential, reflective and supportive space where you can feel heard, understand yourself more deeply and begin to find new ways forward. I work in English and Italian, both short-term and open-ended, from my London practices in Belgravia and Hammersmith.

Hello, my name is Luana, welcome to my profile page.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapists (UKCP) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I provide one-to-one therapy in my London practices in Belgravia and Hammersmith.

“What brings you here?”

This question potentially marks the beginning of our exploratory journey.

I am fully committed to co-creating with you a confidential and relaxed space, where you can feel safe to express your difficulties, worries and concerns. Together we can aim to establish a stimulating and reflective collaboration that recognises and validates your personal experiences and develop new perspectives to facilitate change.

My training is integrative; aiming to sensitively attend to your unique needs, personality and expectations whilst drawing from a wealth of psychotherapeutic theories and research. I share the humanistic belief that as human beings, we have an innate potential to develop and grow throughout our lifespan. I trust our innate potential to flourish in the context of caring and supportive relationships. Therefore, I adopt an holistic approach that meets both biological and psychological needs to form secure and meaningful relationships to foster health and emotional wellbeing.

Through the years, I have been supporting clients with their own subjective experiences of stress, depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, different forms of abuse, life transitions, sexual and gender identity, low self-esteem, physical illness related issues, oppression and discrimination to name a few.

I have experience in both time limited and long term practice, in the public sector for the NHS Psychological Services as well as in agency settings. I can work either for an agreed timeframe or on an open-ended basis.

Originally from Italy, I have been living in London for over 30 year and I facilitate sessions in both English and Italian.

I deeply respect and honour our differences and diversity. Welcoming clients from all communities, races, ethnicities, faiths, cultures, abilities, gender and sexualities, I work within an anti-oppressive practice approach.
