Luana Lamantea

I am a qualified integrative counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I provide one-to-one counselling in my London practices in Chelsea and Hammersmith.

I am fully committed to providing a confidential and relaxed space, within which you can feel safe to express your difficulties, worries and concerns, both past and present. Together we aim to co-create a stimulating and reflective collaboration that recognises and validates your personal experience and develops new perspectives to facilitate change.

My training is integrative; tailoring the therapy to sensitively attend to your unique needs, personality and expectations, drawing mainly from humanistic and psychodynamic theories. I share the humanistic belief that human beings, given the opportunity, have the innate tendency to develop their full potential. I am also particularly interested in a holistic approach that meets our biological and psychological needs to form secure and meaningful relationships to foster emotional wellbeing and growth during the course of our life.

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 duration or on an open ended basis. I would like to emphasise that there is no obligation for you to remain in counselling if you decide you no longer wish to do so.

Originally from Italy, I have been living in London for over 25 year and I offer my sessions in English and Italian.

In both my personal and professional capacity, I deeply respect and value diversity and warmly welcome to my practice people from all communities regardless of faith, culture, ability, gender and sexuality.
