Lucia Lock, BACP

Lucia Lock is a BACP counsellor with 12 years of experience working in the UK. She describes her practice as trauma‑informed and integrative, and she focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addictions and life transitions such as midlife crisis. Lucia aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can begin to talk through difficult feelings and choices.

She often helps people dealing with relationship strain, grief, low self‑esteem and the emotional aftermath of trauma and abuse. Her work also covers concerns such as ADHD, mood changes including bipolar and depression, and challenges around anger and impulsivity. Lucia pays attention to how past attachments and abandonment experiences shape current patterns.

In sessions she adapts the conversation to each person, using elements from client‑centred and psychodynamic approaches. That can mean listening closely to what matters most to the client, reflecting back feelings, and gently looking at how early experiences influence present behaviour. Sessions aim to make difficult material feel more manageable.

Lucia also supports people facing compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, codependency and addiction to drugs or alcohol. She can work with issues around eating, forgiveness, guilt, shame, isolation and finding life purpose. Her style is respectful, steady and practical when needed.

To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. The process is collaborative and paced to suit each person’s needs.

Choosing an approach for online counselling

Client‑centred therapy emphasises listening and responding to what the person brings. The therapist follows your lead, reflects feelings and helps you clarify what matters most. This approach is helpful for stress, relationship problems and when someone needs a calm space to be heard.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences influence current patterns. It often involves noticing repeated reactions, hidden feelings and themes that turn up in day‑to‑day life. This approach can be useful for long‑standing issues like attachment concerns, abandonment feelings and patterns of coping that no longer help.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lucia will discuss options with you and decide together what to try first based on your goals and preferences. That collaborative process allows adjustments as therapy progresses and as new priorities emerge.

Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Since session formats were not specified in the biography, please confirm available options before booking.
