Lucia Lock , BACP

Lucia Lock is a UK-credentialed, integrative and trauma-informed therapeutic counsellor with 12 years of professional experience. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body that reflects recognised standards in counselling practice.

Lucia has supported people from diverse backgrounds with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and other challenges that affect daily life and wellbeing. Her approach blends practical support with a sensitivity to each person’s history, helping clients explore patterns, cope with distress, and build more effective ways of relating to themselves and others.

She is known for treating everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion, offering a non-judgemental space to process difficult material. Clients consistently tell her that she is “easy to trust” and “a safe haven”. Lucia works collaboratively to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each client’s unique needs and goals, adjusting pace and focus as required.

Recognising that beginning therapy takes courage, Lucia seeks to make the first steps straightforward and supportive so clients can feel held as they start their work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist provides empathic listening and non-directive support so individuals can explore their feelings, clarify values, and build self-understanding. This approach is useful for addressing anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem and the emotional impact of life changes.

Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on patterns that emerge from past relationships and early experiences to help people understand recurring difficulties and unconscious drivers of behaviour. That perspective can be helpful for working with attachment issues, trauma responses, and long-standing relational patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Lucia works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what feels most helpful and adjust the work as it unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles and needs. These options make it easier to access regular support around work, caregiving or other commitments, and allow clients to choose the format that helps them engage most effectively with the therapeutic process.
