About Lucia
Lucia Burridge is a counsellor who works with people facing anxiety, stress, grief and many everyday struggles. She writes plainly and listens with patience, helping clients find ways to cope and move forward. Lucia's background and life experience shape the way she supports people in short, clear conversations.
She qualified with an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy and has seven years of counselling experience. Before returning to counselling she worked as a legal secretary and later sought counselling herself after several personal losses.
Background and approach
That lived experience helped her decide to practise and informs her empathy in sessions. Lucia uses a blend of Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In practice this means she focuses first on building trust and understanding, then helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful rather than full of jargon. She commonly helps with a wide range of concerns including depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship problems, trauma, eating and sleeping issues, parenting strains and coping with major life changes. Lucia also supports people dealing with anger, career decisions, bereavement and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are offered in English and she works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. The emphasis is on simple, steady progress - working together to find what helps most for each person's situation.
How her approaches work online
Lucia uses Client-Centred Therapy to build a warm, listening space where people feel heard. This approach is about understanding your concerns and pacing the work to your needs, which suits anxiety, grief and life changes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking that cause distress and to try small practical changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and many everyday difficulties where changing thoughts and routines helps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lucia will work collaboratively to decide whether more client-centred listening or targeted CBT techniques suit your goals. She adapts the method as you go, checking in about what feels helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
