About Lucia

Lucia Burridge offers calm, practical support for people facing relationship worries, stress, grief and changes in life. She focuses on helping individuals who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low self-esteem, bereavement, addiction concerns or struggles with intimacy. Lucia writes simply and listens carefully so people can say what they need to say and start making small changes.

She trained in counselling and completed an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. After working outside the field for a time, personal experience of loss and therapy led her back to practice. She has seven years of professional experience working part time with adults on a range of common life difficulties.

Lucia draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, blending a warm, listening stance with practical ways to spot patterns and try new behaviours. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what matters most to the person in front of her.

Her approach is down-to-earth and respectful. She gives space for difficult feelings and helps people break problems down into manageable steps. Conversations can include thinking exercises, clearer problem planning and talking through painful memories.

Lucia works with people from different backgrounds and accepts international clients. She encourages anyone who feels stuck to take the first step, complete the short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session to see how the working relationship feels.

How Lucia uses client-centred and CBT work online

Lucia blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in a way that suits each person. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship - she listens without judgement and helps people feel heard, which can reduce isolation and make it easier to talk about painful issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy involves looking at unhelpful thinking and trying practical steps to change patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and certain behaviour problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lucia will discuss aims, try different ways of working and adjust methods to match the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and she checks in regularly to see what is helping.

Practical benefits of taking sessions online can include fitting appointments around work, avoiding travel time and keeping therapy in regular short slots during busy weeks. The biography does not list specific session formats, so check the available options before booking to confirm which are offered. Registered or accredited professionals can make adjustments so therapy fits everyday life, such as using shorter check-ins or planning exercises to practice between meetings.
