About Lucia

Lucia Lock works on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, self-esteem and related concerns using a person-centred approach and psychodynamic ideas. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years of professional experience.

Lucia draws on Client-Centred Therapy to place the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. She listens for what matters most to the individual and follows their priorities in conversation. This means practical, paced discussion rather than a fixed script.

She also uses Psychodynamic Therapy ideas to look at patterns that may have developed over time. That can help when people are stuck in repeated behaviours or find relationships and emotions hard to manage. Sessions may touch on past experiences to understand present difficulties.

Clients have sought her help for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and bipolar-related challenges. She also supports people with attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, and coping with life changes.

Lucia works with LGBT issues and offers support around caregiver stress, compassion fatigue and isolation. Her approach aims to make conversations straightforward and focused, helping people to identify next steps and small practical changes that fit their life.

To begin, a short questionnaire is used to match a client with a counsellor and then a first session is scheduled. Fees vary with location and sessions are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Lucia uses person‑centred and psychodynamic work online

Lucia draws on Client-Centred Therapy to centre the client’s own priorities in each session, following their lead and responding to what they bring. This approach is useful for problems such as anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes because it focuses on the person’s present experience and what they want to change.

She also applies Psychodynamic Therapy ideas to identify repeating patterns and emotional themes that influence current behaviour. This can be helpful for issues linked to attachment, abandonment, trauma and relationship difficulties by making sense of long-standing reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lucia treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will help the client decide what feels most useful given their needs, goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as the work develops.

Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling into a busy day and reducing travel time. Remote work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins around work breaks or to join from a quieter room when that is possible. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as format options are set through the service and may vary.
