Arleia Lopes, BACP

Arleia Lopes is an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor who works with both adults and young people, combining clinical training with practical experience. She also practises as a life coach and serves as a clinical supervisor, bringing more than four years of work in private practice alongside volunteer roles with mental health organisations and primary schools.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and loss, suicidal ideation, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, career issues, bipolar mood concerns, eating-related difficulties, trauma and emotional abuse, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing life transitions, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, postpartum and pregnancy-related mood changes, seasonal mood disturbance, and first responder or other occupational stressors.

Arleia’s therapeutic stance is warm and interactive, guided by respect, sensitivity, and compassion without relying on stigmatizing labels. Her clinical work draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, with treatment tailored to each person’s particular needs and circumstances.

She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English.
