Luani Estelle

Mrs Luani Estelle Old

Clinical Psychologist

“I provide psychotherapy to adult individuals and couples, usually on a longer term basis, in a style of warmth and acceptance.”

About Me

I create a welcoming space where adult individuals and couples can truly be themselves. My approach fosters warmth and acceptance, inviting you to gently explore complex feelings and relationship patterns. If you seek sustained support, or wish to understand yourself more fully, we can journey together. This allows for deep, meaningful personal growth at your own rhythm.

Approach

Sessions unfold at a steady, unhurried pace where I attend to feelings, personal narratives and relationship patterns with curiosity and gentle challenge. I offer face-to-face work in Johannesburg and online in English or Afrikaans, keeping sessions conversational yet focused so you feel held while thinking things through. We explore grief, life transitions, trauma and sexual or relational concerns through present-moment awareness, imagery and reflective tasks that deepen insight between appointments. This approach suits people seeking steady, reflective work over time.
