About Lucia
Lucia Burridge is a counsellor who aims to make therapy approachable and straightforward. She speaks plainly and listens closely, helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or major life changes. Her manner is calm and patient, and she focuses on building a respectful working relationship from the first session.
She began training in counselling years ago and later completed an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. After time working outside the profession, personal experience with loss and counselling led her back to practise.
Background and approach
She has seven years of experience working part time with people seeking support. In sessions she combines client-centred work with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy. That means she spends time understanding each person’s experience, and also offers practical ways to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and routines.
Sessions are paced to suit each person’s needs. Lucia welcomes people from different backgrounds and addresses a wide range of concerns. These include grief, self-esteem, addictions, trauma, relationship issues, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, bipolar and coping with life transitions.
She also works with issues such as chronic pain and body image. Her goal is to help people develop coping tools and clearer thinking about their next steps. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful topics and try out new strategies for everyday life.

Approaches Lucia lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical strategies to spot thinking patterns and try small behavioural experiments, which can help with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, then adapt the mix of client-centred work and CBT to suit you.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are close to face-to-face work and let you use visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth. Text or live chat can suit short check-ins or when you prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, and to maintain regular appointments even when circumstances change.
