About Arleia
Arleia Lopes is a counsellor who has practised in the United Kingdom for four years. She holds BACP registration, and she has worked in independent practice and as a volunteer with mental health organisations and primary schools. Arleia helps people who are stressed, anxious, depressed or facing big life changes.
She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, relationship challenges and parenting strain. Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions aim to be respectful and non-judgemental, and she avoids stigmatising labels.
Background and approach
Conversations are shaped around what each person brings in, not a one-size-fits-all script. Arleia draws on a mix of approaches including attachment-based work, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques. She adapts the way she talks and the tasks she offers to suit practical needs and personal goals.
This can mean focusing on thoughts and behaviours one week and on past patterns or relationship themes another week. She has experience with a wide range of concerns such as mood disorders, ADHD, eating and intimacy issues, compassion fatigue, miscarriage and pregnancy-related worries, plus challenges linked to prejudice and multicultural stress.
Arleia also offers life coaching elements when clients want clearer direction for career or life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to the available session times.

Online support
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work together. The therapist will assess needs, goals and preferences and suggest a path to try. That plan can shift over time as progress is made and new issues arise, and the client is involved in each step.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people talk face to face when helpful. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in suits a lunch break. Live chat and messaging work well for ongoing support and for people who prefer written reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep work focused on practical steps and personal goals.
