About Lucia
Lucia Lock is a counsellor with 12 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the BACP, and she offers a calm, non-judgemental presence for people who are having a difficult time. Lucia aims to make the first steps into therapy less daunting and more manageable.
She has supported people with stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar difficulties, and with addictive behaviours and eating concerns. She also sees people affected by trauma and abuse, and those who are struggling with grief or major life changes. LGBT-related issues, ADHD and low self-esteem are among the other matters she commonly addresses.
Lucia works in ways informed by Client-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. That means sessions focus on the person in front of her, and on how past experiences can shape current feelings and relationships. She listens first, and then helps clients make sense of patterns that might be keeping them stuck.
Her practice pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing isolation, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and those dealing with forgiveness and life-purpose questions. Practical coping strategies are used alongside reflective conversation.
Lucia describes her approach as respectful and sensitive, offering space to explore difficult emotions without judgement. She works collaboratively to tailor the dialogue and plan to each person’s needs. Those starting therapy are encouraged to take the next step when they feel ready.
Therapeutic approaches and online working together
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor offers empathy and steady listening, helping someone feel heard and understood while they find their own solutions. It can be useful for stress, low self-esteem and relationship worries.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences and relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps people identify repeating patterns, such as attachment or abandonment issues, so they can make different choices in work and life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and help decide which way of working fits best. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to keep continuity of care when work or life commitments change, while the therapist and client agree on what works best for them.
