Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’ve been coping on your own for too long? I’m Lucia, a BABCP-accredited CBT therapist and EMDR practitioner offering online therapy across the UK. With over 13 years’ experience in mental health and specialist NHS CBT services, I work with anxiety, trauma, mood difficulties and problems that can feel complex or hard to shift. My approach is practical and down-to earth, helping you understand what’s keeping you stuck and find a way forward that feels manageable.
I specialise in trauma, complex anxiety, mood difficulties and burnout, and often work with people who’ve tried CBT before but didn’t get the benefits they’d hoped for. I work within evidence-based models, adapting how we use them to individual needs, including for neurodivergent clients. I also draw on EMDR and other approaches where helpful.
Clients describe me as warm, approachable and collaborative, while still focused on meaningful change. Therapy with me is about more than understanding why you feel the way you do; it’s about helping things feel different in your day to day life. If you feel I might be the right fit for you, I’d really welcome hearing from you.

CBT is at the heart of my practice, but therapy isn't one size fits all. I work within evidence based models, while making the model work for you. I'm creative and flexible in how I adapt therapy to individual differences, including neurodivergence, drawing on additional training in EMDR, trauma focused CBT, CFT, motivational interviewing and attachment informed approaches.
