Lucia Lock, BACP

Lucia Lock is an integrative, trauma-informed therapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Lucia works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, ADHD, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder.

She takes a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate approach, offering a non-judgemental space where clients can explore what they are facing. Lucia tailors dialogue and treatment plans to each person, drawing on client-centered and psychodynamic ways of working to meet individual needs. Clients consistently tell her that she is "easy to trust" and "a safe haven," reflecting the emphasis she places on building a reliable therapeutic relationship.

Lucia also supports people dealing with grief, anger, eating concerns, compassion fatigue, and issues related to identity and relationships, including work with LGBT clients. She recognises that beginning therapy takes courage and aims to make that first step as approachable and manageable as possible.

Client-Centered and Psychodynamic Support Online

Lucia draws on client-centered therapy to create an accepting, empathetic space in which the client’s own perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on understanding feelings and building self-awareness and self-worth, which can be helpful for anxiety, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. Psychodynamic therapy complements this by exploring recurring patterns, early attachments, and unconscious influences that shape current behaviour and relationships, offering insight into issues such as abandonment, family dynamics, and long-standing emotional difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Lucia works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She discusses options, listens to client goals and preferences, and adjusts the way she works so that therapy aligns with individual needs and pacing.

Online therapy with Lucia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access support from a registered professional without needing to travel, and they can be arranged to suit the rhythm of everyday life.
