About Arleia
Arleia Lopes is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with four years of experience working in independent practice and in volunteer roles for mental health organisations and primary schools. She holds BACP registration and offers support to adults and young people facing a wide range of difficulties. Her manner is warm and interactive, aimed at helping people take practical steps toward change.
She has worked with concerns such as depression, anxiety, loss, suicidal thoughts, relationship strain, parenting challenges and career questions.
Background and approach
She also has experience supporting people affected by physical or emotional trauma and emotional abuse. Her focus includes stress, self-esteem, grief, eating concerns, ADHD and mood disorders. Her way of working blends several approaches.
She uses client-centred listening to understand each person’s experience. Cognitive-behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviours. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and attachment-based thinking to look at long-term patterns.
Sessions are shaped around each person. Arleia aims to be practical and respectful while avoiding stigmatising labels. Conversations and exercises are matched to what someone needs in the moment and to their longer-term goals.
She is also a clinical supervisor and offers life coaching alongside therapy. If someone is ready to make changes, Arleia focuses on empowerment, clear goals and steady progress.

How Arleia works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what feels most helpful based on your needs, goals and preferences. She will adjust methods over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Please confirm current session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life by removing travel time and allowing appointments around work or family routines. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if that fits better. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of working to help people move towards clearer goals and better day-to-day coping.
