Lucia Fleet, BACP

Lucia Fleet is a UK-based therapist who brings three years of professional experience to work with adults facing a wide range of emotional and behavioural challenges. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates membership of a recognised professional body for therapists in the United Kingdom. Lucia has particular experience supporting people affected by childhood trauma, addiction including gambling and sex-related addictions, ADHD, domestic abuse, depression and anxiety, and she also works within the NHS gambling addiction service.

She adapts her pace and approach to suit each person, offering both an analytical perspective for those who want to explore life patterns in depth and an empathic, listening-focused style for clients who wish to attend to their feelings more slowly. Many clients benefit from a blend of these ways of working, and Lucia is comfortable combining reflective enquiry with emotional support as needed.

Lucia sees the therapeutic relationship as collaborative - she does not claim to have all the answers and frames the client as the expert on their own life. Her aim is to help people identify what is and is not working, reduce self-critical patterns, and build greater self-appreciation and resilience. She believes that learning to value oneself and to accept past choices can open the way to meaningful change.

Initial sessions focus on getting to know one another and deciding whether to continue together. Lucia works during daytime hours in UK GMT and does not take evening or weekend appointments, though she often supports international clients whose time zones make evening sessions possible for them.

Client-Centered and Psychodynamic Support Delivered Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a warm, non-judgemental relationship in which the therapist offers empathy, acceptance and active listening. This approach helps clients explore their feelings, increase self-understanding, and develop greater self-compassion, which can support work on anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues and trauma recovery.

Psychodynamic work pays attention to recurring patterns, early experiences and unconscious beliefs that shape current behaviour and emotional responses. Short, focused psychodynamic exploration can help clients identify and shift long-standing patterns that contribute to depression, relationship difficulties and coping struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Lucia works collaboratively with each person to find what fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences and how deeply to explore past experiences so that the work feels manageable and relevant to the client’s life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, take sessions by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging when that better suits their schedule. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into everyday life and to access support from registered professionals regardless of location.
