Arleia Lopes, BACP

Arleia Lopes is an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor who supports both adults and young people through emotional and life challenges. She also works as a clinical supervisor and life coach, and is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. With over four years of experience in private practice and voluntary roles within mental health organisations and primary schools, she has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, bereavement, suicidal ideation, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, career transitions and life-coaching goals. She has also worked with many who have experienced physical or emotional trauma and emotional abuse.

Her therapeutic style is warm and interactive, guided by respect, sensitivity and compassion without resorting to stigmatizing labels. She blends cognitive-behavioural techniques with person-centred and psychodynamic ideas, alongside practical behavioural strategies, and tailors her conversational approach and treatment plans to the specific needs of each client. Arleia aims to empower people to take steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life, offering encouragement and practical support as clients work toward their goals. She is committed to creating a respectful, nonjudgemental space where clients can explore change at their own pace.
