Lucia Burridge, BACP

Lucia Burridge is a counsellor who focuses on helping people through major life shifts and emotional strain. She aims to make meetings calm and approachable so people can talk about what matters most. Lucia uses straightforward listening and practical tools to help clients manage stress, anxiety and other concerns.

She trained in counselling and psychotherapy and holds the BACP credential. After working outside counselling for a time, she returned to the profession following personal experiences of loss and recovery. Those experiences shaped how she supports others and informed her decision to practise part time for seven years.

In sessions she uses Client-Centred Therapy to build a trusting relationship. This means she listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, offering ways to spot unhelpful thinking and try different coping strategies.

Lucia commonly works with issues such as grief, depression, anxiety, addiction and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing career changes, parenting strains, chronic illness and the emotional sides of ageing. Her approach is practical and person-focused rather than directive.

People can expect clear, simple conversations and tools they can try between sessions. Lucia welcomes clients from different backgrounds and works in English. She accepts international clients and asks prospective clients to confirm session arrangements when they book.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centred Therapy is about building a steady, non-judgemental relationship. The counsellor listens deeply and follows the client’s pace to help them feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to try different behaviours and coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasise listening and exploration or introduce more structured CBT techniques.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. Because the specific session formats are not stated in the biography, confirm which formats are offered when you book. Registered or accredited professionals often find ways to adapt their methods to remote work, helping people apply practical tools and reflective conversation to everyday challenges.
