About Lucia

Lucia Burridge offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, loss, anxiety or major life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely so each person can talk through what matters most in short, focused sessions. She trained in counselling and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential.

Lucia practised part time for seven years after returning to counselling later in life, bringing her own experience of grief and recovery into her work.

Background and approach

That background shapes a gentle, understanding style. Her approach blends Client-Centred Therapy with elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, so sessions combine a warm, accepting relationship with practical tools for coping. Conversations aim to clarify patterns of thinking, manage difficult feelings and build everyday routines that reduce stress.

Lucia helps people tackle a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, and career-related stress. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, ageing, abandonment and other long‑running problems. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Lucia aims to make the first steps simple: a short matching questionnaire and an initial session to agree goals and a plan for moving forward. Her manner is patient and direct. She focuses on building trust, exploring what has been tried before, and helping people find realistic ways to feel steadier day to day.

How her approach works online and in sessions

Client‑Centred Therapy is about being listened to without judgement and feeling understood. It helps people who need a calm space to talk, to build self‑acceptance and to work through grief or low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful habits and improve sleep and mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in the first meetings and together decide which methods suit the problem and the person. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls give a face‑to‑face feel for in‑depth conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a shorter check‑in. Live chat and text‑based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options help those managing work, caregiving or mobility limits to connect more easily with a registered or accredited professional and keep therapeutic work consistent over time.
