About Arleia
Arleia Lopes is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She holds BACP registration, and she works with adults and young people on common life challenges such as depression, anxiety and stress. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people make small but meaningful changes.
She has worked in independent practice and volunteered with mental health organisations and primary schools. That background means she is used to supporting people through loss, trauma and relationship struggles.
Background and approach
She also offers life coaching for career questions and goal-setting alongside counselling work. Sessions with Arleia are described as warm and interactive. She focuses on respect, sensitivity and avoiding stigmatising labels.
Conversations are shaped to each person, not forced into a fixed template, and she encourages practical steps between meetings. Therapeutic tools include a mix of cognitive-behavioural ideas, person-centred listening, psychodynamic thinking and realistic behavioural techniques. Arleia adapts these to the issues presented, whether that is low mood, parenting stress, or difficulties with self-esteem.
People often come to her for help with grief, trauma or relationship strain. She also supports those facing life transitions, burnout and feelings of isolation. Her work aims to clarify what matters to each person and to build manageable ways forward.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit each person's needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
