About Lucia

Lucia Lock is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years of professional experience in the UK. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship strain, eating difficulties, anger, bipolar and depression, and the practical challenges of life changes.

Lucia hears people who feel stuck or uncertain about life purpose and midlife changes. She also addresses abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress and codependency. Her work includes concerns such as dissociation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt, shame and feelings of isolation.

Her approach is shaped by client-centred and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions are conversational and focused on the things that matter to the person in front of her. She pays attention to patterns from the past that affect present choices and feelings, and she supports people to notice what they actually want next.

In sessions Lucia aims to make it straightforward to talk about hard things. Conversations look at current coping, emotional responses and relationship patterns. Practical steps and reflective discussion are both part of how she works.

People who are ready to begin are asked to use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. It aims to make conversations clear and person-led, which can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about life direction.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past relationships shape current choices. It can be useful for understanding attachment, abandonment concerns and how old coping styles show up now.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lucia will discuss what feels most useful, and adjust the way she works based on a person’s goals and preferences. That choice is made collaboratively rather than imposed.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making it easier to schedule around work and caregiving. Different formats may also suit lower bandwidth or quieter surroundings, so discuss practical needs when arranging the first appointment.
