About Arleia

Arleia Lopes is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who brings four years of personal and voluntary practice in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and has worked with adults and young people on a wide range of concerns. Her style is described as warm and interactive, and she aims to support people without using stigmatising labels.

She has helped people cope with anxiety, depression and grief, and has supported those processing trauma and emotional abuse.

Background and approach

She also works with issues such as stress, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, and challenges connected to parenting and career changes. Arleia uses an integrative approach, blending client-centred listening with cognitive-behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas. She adapts conversations and plans to the individual in front of her, focusing on practical steps as well as understanding personal history.

Her practice also covers attachment concerns, communication problems, mood disorders and issues linked to discrimination or multicultural stress. She offers support around eating problems, postpartum and pregnancy-related mental health, and exhaustion from caring roles or compassion fatigue. People can expect a collaborative process that balances reflection with actionable strategies.

Arleia aims to empower clients to make changes at their own pace and to find clearer direction amid life transitions.

Approaches for online therapy and practical access

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at connection, trust and communication, and can help people who struggle with closeness or repeated relationship problems.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own solutions, which works well for people needing a compassionate space to reflect.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with clearer thinking and different actions. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with immediate stresses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most comfortable, and then shape the way sessions run together. It is a collaborative process where methods can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy with this counsellor is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows visual connection for deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth varies, live chat suits quicker check-ins, and messaging supports reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and tools so they work well in these formats.
