Lucia Lock is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Lucia aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and understands that reaching out takes courage.

She works with people facing stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self‑esteem and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar. She also helps with relationship concerns, grief, anger, eating difficulties and ADHD related worries.

Background and approach

Lucia offers support around compassion fatigue and life changes too. Her approach draws on client‑centred and psychodynamic ideas. In sessions she listens closely and follows the person’s priorities while also looking at patterns from the past that affect the present.

The tone is respectful, direct and warm, with space for practical problem solving when needed. Lucia is experienced supporting extra areas such as abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, domestic violence and substance use. She also addresses feelings of guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, midlife crisis and questions about life purpose.

Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Lucia's approaches work online

Client‑centred therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The counsellor listens without judgement and supports people to make choices that feel right for them, which can help with anxiety, low self‑esteem and life changes.

Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that come from past relationships and experiences. Talking these through can help with repeated relationship issues, abandonment or attachment concerns, and longstanding emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lucia will talk with people about their goals and preferences and agree a way forward that mixes listening, reflection and practical strategies. The process is collaborative so adjustments can be made as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different situations. Video calls allow face to face conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging suit shorter check‑ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel commitments and to keep therapy consistent even when life is busy.
