Lucia Burridge helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by grief, anxiety, stress or low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to what matters most. Sessions aim to tackle day-to-day problems and longer-term struggles in a calm, steady way.

She trained in counselling and holds BACP registration, and has practised for seven years. Before returning to counselling she worked in an office role and later sought therapy herself after difficult losses.

Background and approach

Those experiences shaped how she understands what it feels like to need support. In sessions she blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, matching the way she works to each person. That means she focuses on the relationship in the room and also uses practical tools to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

People can expect straightforward conversations that look at feelings, behaviours and daily routines. She aims to help people build coping skills, manage anxiety, sleep better, and improve relationships and self-worth. Her practice welcomes people from all backgrounds and she takes time to create a calm, non-judgemental space.

The focus is on what the person needs now and on practical steps they can try between sessions.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what the person brings, helping them feel heard and understood. This approach is useful for emotional concerns such as grief, low self-worth and relationship pain.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against everyday life. It uses practical exercises and behavioural steps to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and tackle mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the way of working to suit the person's needs and preferences. That shared decision-making helps ensure sessions stay relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Chat or messaging suits shorter exchanges, journalling-style work or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
