About Lucia

Lucia Lock is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She supports people with issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and mood concerns. Lucia also works with people facing life changes, grief and relationship difficulties, including those tied to LGBT and ADHD experience.

Her background blends client-centred and psychodynamic ways of working. In sessions she listens for what matters most to the person and asks questions that help uncover patterns from the past that affect current feelings and choices. This mix aims to help people understand why they react as they do, and to try different ways of responding.

Sessions focus on clear, conversational dialogue rather than clinical jargon. Lucia aims to be direct about what she notices and to explore practical steps alongside deeper reflection. People often bring stress, worry about social situations, addictive behaviours, or recurring feelings of shame or abandonment.

She works with difficulties such as dissociation, codependency, communication problems, caregiver stress and anger. She also offers support for issues related to narcissus patterns, impulsivity, and isolation or loneliness.

Lucia’s practice asks people to consider both current coping and the roots of those patterns. The pace is negotiated with each person so conversations can be short and focused or more exploratory over time. To start, people use the site’s matching process and then arrange a first session.

Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients. Fees vary by location and are managed through a cancellable subscription model.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and reflecting what the person says. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, aiming to make space for honest expression and to help clients feel heard. This approach can be useful for people who want straightforward, supportive conversation about current problems.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at past relationships and patterns to explain how they affect current feelings and behaviour. It involves noticing repeated reactions and linking them back to earlier experiences, which can be helpful for issues like attachment, abandonment or recurring relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lucia will discuss the options with each person and agree together which focus feels most relevant. This collaborative process means the plan can shift as priorities change or as a person learns more about themselves.

The biography does not specify session formats here, so confirm the exact online options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer not being on camera, while others like seeing their counsellor face to face; Lucia will discuss practical arrangements so sessions suit everyday life.
