Warm, practical counselling with an attachment focus
About Arleia
Arleia Lopes is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with four years of professional experience. She holds BACP registration and has worked in independent practice and with voluntary mental health projects and primary schools. Her manner is warm and interactive and she aims to meet people with respect and compassion.
She focuses on anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and depression, and on practical challenges like career decisions and parenting strain. Arleia also helps people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, and supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns.
Background and approach
Her practice includes attention to mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, ADHD and issues related to cultural background and discrimination. Her style combines client-centred listening with cognitive approaches and psychodynamic thinking. Sessions are tailored so conversations and tasks are relevant to each person’s situation.
She also draws on attachment ideas to help people understand long-standing patterns in relationships. Arleia offers a coaching perspective when clients want clearer goals and practical steps. She avoids labelling and works to build collaboration and realistic next steps.
Her sessions aim to be straightforward, supportive and focused on change. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging for people in the United Kingdom. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and bookings begin by completing a short matching questionnaire.

Sessions & fees
Approach-led online therapy and practical support
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people spot patterns that began in early relationships and shows how those patterns affect present connections. It can be useful for people feeling stuck in repeated relationship cycles or who want clearer emotional understanding.Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and acceptance, giving people space to tell their story and find their own pace of change. This approach suits those who need time to feel heard and to build trust in the counselling relationship.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It often involves short tasks between sessions and is helpful for anxiety, low mood and stress management.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will adapt methods in collaboration with the person. This makes it easier to try different ways of working and find what fits.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face contact, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
