About Lucia

Lucia Burridge helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or big life changes. She works in a straightforward way so parents and carers can quickly see if she is a good fit. Lucia offers a calm presence and aims to make sessions feel simple to attend and understand.

She trained as a counsellor and holds BACP, and has seven years of experience in practice. Lucia draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, combining an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship with practical ways to spot unhelpful thinking and habits. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, not on jargon.

Lucia is used to helping people who are coping with grief, relationship strain, addiction, sleep or eating difficulties, and challenges such as ADHD, depression or anger. She also supports those facing career stress, parenting strain and chronic health issues. She will listen and help you work through what is happening now and what you want to change.

Her sessions aim to be collaborative and down to earth. Lucia uses simple tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when they help, and keeps the conversation person-centred to build trust. This mix is intended to help people notice small shifts in thought and habit.

People can expect clear, practical conversations about coping strategies, communication and boundary-setting. Lucia encourages realistic steps you can try between sessions to test what helps in everyday life.

How her approaches suit online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and creating a supportive connection so people feel heard and able to talk about difficult topics. This approach can help when coping with grief, relationship worries, self-esteem concerns and emotional overwhelm.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses clear techniques to test and shift unhelpful thinking. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep or eating problems, stress and some addiction-related habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether a predominantly person-centred way, CBT techniques, or a blend suits their goals and preferences. That discussion happens together and can change as needs evolve.

If you are planning remote sessions, please confirm the session formats before booking since options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and communication to make online work practical and focused on real changes.
