About Arleia
Arleia Lopes is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with four years of independent practice experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and combines counselling and life coaching skills to help adults and young people take practical steps forward. Her manner is warm and interactive and she aims to treat people with sensitivity and respect.
Arleia has worked with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also supports people facing stress, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career questions and issues such as phobias or mood disorders.
Background and approach
Her background includes voluntary work with mental health organisations and time in primary schools. Her sessions are tailored to each person. She draws on several familiar counselling approaches and adapts her work to what feels most helpful.
Conversations are straightforward and focused on practical ways to manage symptoms and daily challenges. People who come to Arleia can expect a collaborative style. She listens, asks questions and helps set clear goals for change.
Where useful she combines short-term strategies with deeper reflection on patterns that have built up over time. Appointments are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Arleia also offers life coaching and clinical supervision alongside her counselling work.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating in real time, useful for intimacy and communication concerns.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the session. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, which suits people wanting a supportive space to make sense of their feelings and decisions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. In online work this often means learning practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, tackle phobias or manage low mood.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt the work as it progresses. Sessions are collaborative and can combine short-term tools with deeper exploration when needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face without travel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or other commitments.
