Lucia Lock , BACP

Lucia Lock is a counsellor with 12 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as her professional credential. Lucia’s work focuses on supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and relationships.

She uses an integrative, trauma-informed stance that aims to meet each person where they are. Sessions centre on listening carefully and helping people make sense of difficult feelings. Lucia aims to create a non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly about painful or confusing experiences.

Her approach often blends client-centred ways of working with psychodynamic ideas about patterns and past experience. That mix helps people understand current difficulties and try different ways of responding. Lucia tailors conversations and plans to each client rather than following a fixed programme.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns, from grief and depression to anger, compulsive behaviours and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, codependency and isolation.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Lucia focuses on making that step easier. She works at a calm pace and aims to help people feel heard, understood and clearer about next steps.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client. It involves listening without judgement, reflecting what you say, and helping you find your own solutions. This approach is useful for people who need space to talk through feelings like anxiety, grief or low self-esteem.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past experience and the unconscious. Sessions help you notice recurring dynamics and how they affect current choices and relationships. This can be helpful for issues such as attachment difficulties, abandonment worries and repeated relationship problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which ways of working to try. That shared planning helps keep sessions relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different situations. Video lets you have a more conversational session similar to in-person work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing works better for you. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or busy days.
