Lucia Burridge
Calm, practical counselling for everyday challenges
About Lucia
Lucia Burridge offers calm, down-to-earth support for people struggling with stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She welcomes adults from diverse backgrounds and aims to make sessions simple and approachable. Lucia works to create a steady space where people can talk about what is worrying them and learn practical ways to cope.
She trained initially in counselling and later practised part time for seven years. Lucia also spent time working outside counselling before returning to the profession after personal experiences of loss and recovery shaped her approach.
Background and approach
Those experiences influence how she listens and the kinds of coping tools she shares. In session Lucia focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client. She uses person-centred techniques to follow what matters most to the person in front of her.
She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. People meet Lucia for many concerns, including depression, addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, career stress and coping with life changes. She also supports work around trauma, attachment and chronic illness among other areas.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Lucia aims to help people leave with clearer steps they can try between meetings. Her style is steady and compassionate while keeping things straightforward and action-oriented.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and responding without judgement. In practice this means the counsellor follows what matters most to the person and offers warmth, acceptance and reflection to help people make sense of their feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours and then try small, practical changes. It often involves setting simple tasks between sessions such as tracking moods, testing a worry or practising a different response to stress.
Lucia treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that may suit them. Together they decide whether to focus more on person-centred listening, CBT techniques or a mix of both.
Online work can make counselling easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good short check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, need brief daily support, or who like to reflect in their own time. These options give flexibility for different schedules and needs while keeping the therapeutic focus on practical steps and steady support.
