Lucia Fleet, BACP

Lucia Fleet helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She offers support for addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger and career questions. Lucia also works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood changes, compassion fatigue and coping with life transitions. Her aim is to help people notice unhelpful patterns and make changes that improve daily life.

Lucia practises in a way that adapts to each person. Some people want a more analytical, faster pace and to look at life patterns in depth. Others need time to feel and process emotions and value a gentle, listening approach. She combines these styles so the work matches what each person needs in the moment.

She holds BACP accreditation, which indicates professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Lucia has three years of professional experience working in different settings, including NHS services for gambling addiction.

Early sessions focus on getting to know one another and deciding whether the working relationship feels right. Lucia encourages people to use those first meetings to see if the approach suits them and to set goals together.

Her core belief is that many problems start with not valuing oneself. Sessions often centre on building self-compassion, recognising strengths and making practical changes. She works collaboratively and respects that the client is the expert on their life.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can feel heard and make sense of their own experience. This approach suits issues such as low self-worth, relationship concerns and emotional difficulties where being understood helps shift patterns.

Lucia also brings an analytical element when helpful, looking at patterns in behaviour and thinking that keep problems going. That way the work can include slower emotion-focused exploration and more direct examination of recurring issues, according to what the client needs.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Lucia will work with a client to decide whether the emphasis should be on feeling and acceptance or on identifying and changing patterns. Goals, preferences and practical needs guide that choice, and the approach can shift as therapy progresses.

Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around daily life, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can tailor sessions so they suit schedules and the pace each person prefers.
