Lucia Fleet , BACP

Lucia Fleet holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and practises as a therapist in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience across a variety of settings. She works with people facing childhood trauma, addiction including gambling and sex-related difficulties, ADHD, domestic abuse, depression, and anxiety, and she also provides support within an NHS gambling addiction service. Lucia adapts her approach to match each person's pace and priorities, offering an analytical view of recurring life patterns for those who want deep exploration as well as patient, empathetic listening for clients who need to focus on emotional processing.

She frames the therapeutic relationship as collaborative rather than directive, recognising that clients are the experts on their own lives even when self-trust is difficult. Together with clients she identifies what is and is not working, explores destructive patterns, and supports steps toward greater self-acceptance and forgiveness. Central to her work is helping people value their strengths and cultivate self-compassion, because difficulties often stem from harsh self-judgment and low self-worth.

Early sessions are used to build rapport and to allow prospective clients to decide whether the therapeutic match feels right. Lucia typically works during daytime hours on UK GMT and often arranges sessions that suit international clients due to time differences.

Client-Centered and Exploratory Care Delivered Online

Lucia Fleet uses client-centered principles to create a therapeutic space that prioritises the client's perspective, unconditional acceptance, and empathic listening. This approach helps people who struggle with self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, and the emotional fallout of trauma by encouraging self-awareness and self-compassion.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to explore how past relationships and repeated patterns influence current feelings and behaviours. This exploratory work can be useful for people who want to understand roots of recurring difficulties and shift long-standing patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lucia works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors sessions accordingly. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to match the pace and focus each person requires.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - it makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to access support across time zones, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. These options help people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
