Lucia Fleet , BACP

Lucia Fleet is a UK-based therapist accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings three years of professional experience across a range of clinical settings.

She has developed specific experience supporting people with childhood trauma, addiction including gambling and sex addiction, ADHD, domestic abuse, depression and anxiety. She also works for the NHS within its gambling addiction service, providing specialist support for those affected by problematic gambling.

Lucia adapts to each person she works with, meeting clients where they are and moving at a pace that feels right for them. Some people prefer a faster, more analytical exploration of patterns that limit their lives, and they benefit from her reflective, evidence-informed style. Others seek a gentler focus on emotions and healing and value her empathic listening and attuned presence. Many people find a blend of both approaches most helpful.

She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, recognising that clients are the experts on their own lives. Together she helps clients identify what is and is not serving them, reduce self-criticism, shift destructive patterns and cultivate greater self-acceptance and forgiveness.

Early sessions concentrate on establishing rapport and clarity about goals so potential clients can decide if she is the right fit. Lucia works during daytime hours in UK GMT and does not take evening or weekend appointments, although she often supports international clients whose time zones make evening sessions possible for them.

Client-Centered Approaches and Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and content of sessions. The therapist offers empathy and understanding to help people explore their feelings, build self-acceptance and grow confidence in their own choices - useful for issues such as low self-esteem, grief and relationship challenges.

Psychodynamic work explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current behaviour and relationships. This approach can help people understand recurring difficulties, including attachment-related struggles and long-standing emotional patterns.

Transactional Analysis (TA) looks at the roles and communication styles people adopt in relationships and daily life. It can be helpful for improving communication, addressing control or dependency patterns, and resolving family or partnership conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Lucia collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, adjusting methods over time so therapy fits their needs and pace. This collaborative process helps ensure the work feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging make it possible to access consistent support from different locations and at times that suit you. For many people, remote sessions reduce travel time, increase scheduling options and make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family and other commitments.
