About Lucia

Lucia Burridge offers calm, practical support to people facing major life stresses and changes. She helps with anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction issues, and worries linked to ageing and geriatric issues. Lucia presents herself as warm and direct, helping people talk through what feels hard right now.

She trained in counselling and psychotherapy and holds a BACP credential. Lucia stepped into counselling after personal experiences of loss and recovery, and she draws on those lived insights when she listens. Her approach is rooted in the counselling relationship and in helping people build everyday coping skills.

In sessions she blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). That means she offers a respectful, listening space while also working on thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. Sessions are practical and tailored to each person’s current needs.

Lucia has around seven years of professional experience working part time as a counsellor. She welcomes people from different backgrounds and aims to create a straightforward, non-judgemental space for exploring issues. She can help with concerns such as sleep, eating, anger, career stress, chronic health challenges and compassion fatigue.

Her work is carried out from the United Kingdom and she offers sessions in English. To begin, visitors are invited to start a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first appointment according to the therapist’s scheduling details.

How her approaches adapt to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance and genuinely hearing what someone says. Online sessions offer the same listening stance, giving people space to set the pace and topics they want to explore. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; online sessions can include homework, worksheets and short check-ins to support this work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lucia will work collaboratively to identify what feels most helpful, and she will adjust methods as goals and needs change. The aim is to find a mix that fits each person rather than imposing a single way of working.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy life and fewer travel commitments. For some people online meetings mean a simpler check-in during a lunch break or the ability to use worksheets and screen-sharing during a session. The exact session options should be confirmed before booking so you know how appointments are arranged and scheduled.
