About Lucia

Lucia Burridge is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years' practice experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships or health, and with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and addiction. Lucia also supports those facing career uncertainty, parenting strain and challenges around intimacy and relationships.

Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Sessions focus on building a practical working relationship. She listens to what matters most and helps people talk through current problems and patterns that keep them stuck.

Lucia trained to diploma level in counselling and practised in other roles before returning to the profession. Her own experience of loss and recovery shaped why she chose counselling and how she works with people who have faced trauma, bereavement or major life shifts.

In session she combines person-centred listening with practical CBT tools. That can mean reflecting on feelings, examining unhelpful thoughts, and trying small steps between sessions. The aim is to find manageable changes that fit daily life.

She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and addresses a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar symptoms, chronic illness, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and issues connected to abandonment or attachment. Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her client-centred and CBT approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the focus on the person rather than techniques. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what is said, helping people make sense of their feelings and priorities. This approach can be useful when someone feels overwhelmed, unsure what matters next, or needs space to talk through recent life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tests small, practical changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and for coping strategies after loss or major change.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past. Together they adjust methods so sessions are useful and realistic for everyday life.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video, or who need sessions that fit around work or caregiving commitments.
