About Arleia
Arleia Lopes is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with a BACP registration and four years' experience. She works privately and has volunteered with mental health organisations and primary schools. Arleia offers a calm, respectful presence and aims to help people take practical steps when life feels overwhelming.
She supports people with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also helps with trauma and emotional abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting challenges.
Background and approach
Arleia uses an integrative style that draws on several approaches. She combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas. Attachment-based work also informs how she thinks about relationship patterns and emotional needs.
In sessions she keeps the work warm and interactive. Conversations are tailored to each person and the plan changes as needs evolve. Practical steps and short-term goals can sit alongside deeper reflection about meaning and purpose.
She also works from a coaching perspective when people want change-focused work, such as career decisions or managing fatigue and burnout. Arleia emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion in every interaction. Her style is straightforward and focused on helping people move forward.

Online support
How Arleia’s approaches work online
Arleia draws on Existential Therapy to help people look at meaning, choice and life direction. This approach invites honest conversation about values, purpose and how to live with uncertainty, which can help when major changes or losses occur.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships. This helps people understand how early bonds shape current trust, intimacy and communication, and supports work on reconnecting or setting healthier boundaries.
Client-Centred Therapy sits at the heart of her practice and ensures sessions begin with attentive listening. This approach creates space for people to voice concerns and steer the pace and focus of each session.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Arleia will explore your needs, goals and preferences together with you and suggest approaches that feel most helpful. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as you progress.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is well suited to face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, short check-ins suit text or chat, and messaging allows flexible, ongoing contact. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, family and other commitments.
