Lucia Burridge

Lucia Burridge is a counsellor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She works with clients facing depression, addiction and relationship concerns, and supports those dealing with trauma, sleep and eating issues. Lucia aims to make sessions straightforward and easy to follow for anyone feeling overwhelmed.

Lucia trained in counselling and has seven years of practical experience. She combines a client-centred way of working with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). That means she focuses first on understanding each person's experience and then uses simple, practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.

Her own life experience led her back to counselling after an earlier career outside mental health. That personal perspective shapes a calm and down-to-earth style. Sessions are framed around what a person needs now, not around jargon or abstract ideas.

In conversations with Lucia, people can expect to be listened to and treated with respect. She works at a steady pace and helps people try small, manageable changes between meetings. The goal is improved day-to-day coping rather than quick fixes.

Lucia is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of the work. It involves listening without judgement and helping someone find their own solutions, which can suit issues like grief, low self-esteem and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple strategies to tackle anxiety, mood problems and unhelpful habits, and often includes tasks to try between sessions.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to identify what feels most helpful, combining the warm, listening stance of client-centred work with CBT tools when needed. Sessions are shaped by your goals and what you feel comfortable trying.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people who live farther away or overseas can work with registered or accredited professionals in the United Kingdom.
