About Lucia
Counsellor Lucia Fleet is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression and addiction. Lucia also lists concerns including ADHD, grief, parenting and anger among her areas of practice.
Lucia adopts a person-centred way of working. She aims to listen and respond to what each person brings rather than following a rigid plan. She can match a more analytical style when that helps, or pause and stay with feelings when a slower pace suits the client better.
Her practical work includes looking at life patterns that keep people stuck and helping to change self-critical thinking. She also supports people dealing with difficult events from the past, and with problem behaviours such as gambling and other addictions. Sessions involve talking things through, reflecting on emotions and making small changes that are realistic to put into daily life.
Lucia says she works collaboratively and believes clients know their own lives best. Early sessions are used to learn about the client and to decide together whether to continue. She is clear that therapy is not a cure-all but can be a useful way to increase awareness and make changes.
She notes that she works during daytime hours in UK time and does not offer evenings or weekends, though she often works with international clients whose time zones mean evenings work for them. Prospective clients are encouraged to check session details and timing before booking.
Client-centred work and online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client brings. The counsellor aims to follow the person's pace and priorities, which can help with self-esteem, relationship issues and emotional pain. This approach is about understanding the client's experience and working from there.Lucia also uses elements of other approaches when they suit the client, for example more analytical ways of thinking about life patterns. Together the client and counsellor decide which mix of approaches to try. Finding the right way of working is part of the work and will be reviewed as sessions progress.
Session arrangements should be checked before booking because the biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm which formats are offered and the timings that will work for you. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when that suits, and make attendance possible across different time zones without promising any particular service.
