About Lucia

Lucia Burridge helps people work through stress, anxiety, grief, low self‑esteem and a wide range of life changes using person-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. She draws on seven years of counselling experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Lucia trained to an advanced diploma level in counselling and psychotherapy and later returned to the profession after time working outside healthcare. She began practising part time five years ago and combines life experience with professional practice in her work.

Her way of working emphasises the relationship between counsellor and client. Sessions are driven by what each person brings, with the counsellor listening, reflecting and helping to identify patterns that may be getting in the way. When useful, she uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to break problems into manageable steps and try out practical changes.

Lucia also addresses issues such as addiction, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career difficulties and coping with chronic illness. She lists additional focus areas including attachment and abandonment issues, body image and bereavement-related concerns.

People can expect a straightforward, conversational style that aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about. She works in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Lucia works with two main approaches that suit many common problems. Person‑centred counselling focuses on listening, reflecting and building a strong working relationship so people feel able to talk about difficult experiences; it is often used for grief, low self‑esteem and life transitions.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to tackle problems such as anxiety, sleep difficulties, addictive behaviours and unhelpful patterns. CBT often involves setting small experiments and trying new ways of coping between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lucia will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques to use, adjusting methods as goals and needs become clearer.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check‑ins when needed or sessions without video if that suits someone better. Confirm the exact session options before booking so you know what formats are available.
