About Lucia
Lucia Burridge helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. She meets individuals facing addictions, mood difficulties, relationship and intimacy issues, and the daily strain of parenting or career change. Lucia works in a calm, straightforward way so conversations feel manageable on a busy day.
She trained in counselling and psychotherapy and has practised for seven years. Lucia draws on client-centred methods to build a warm, respectful relationship.
How Lucia works
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, giving practical tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions aim to be steady and collaborative. Lucia listens first and then helps people find small, realistic steps to try between meetings.
That might mean trying simple thought records, adjusting sleep routines, or practising different ways to speak about needs. Her background includes personal experience of loss and recovery, which shapes a compassionate style. Lucia welcomes people from all backgrounds and focuses on making sessions comfortable and easy to follow.
She offers help for a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and coping with life transitions. The emphasis is on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and supporting people to regain a sense of control and hope. People who want a respectful listener and clear, practical techniques may find her style helpful.
Lucia aims to work at a pace that suits each person and to support them in building lasting skills.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Lucia uses client-centred counselling to create a respectful, non-judgemental space. That approach focuses on listening carefully and following the person's pace, which can help when someone needs to talk through loss, grief or ongoing stress.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers simple exercises to change patterns. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lucia will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful when visual contact helps the conversation. Phone calls work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments.
