About Lucia
Lucia Burridge is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and sleep difficulties. She writes plainly and listens carefully to what matters to each person. Sessions focus on small, practical steps that can improve day-to-day life and rest.
Lucia completed an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She worked in other roles before returning to counselling, and her own experiences of loss and support inform a calm, steady approach. She has seven years of counselling experience overall.
Her way of working blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas. That means the conversation centres on the person in front of her, while also trying practical strategies to change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. Sessions often include setting simple goals and practising ways to manage sleep, stress and mood between meetings.
Clients can expect a warm, non-judgemental space where matters such as relationships, addiction, parenting and career concerns are discussed in plain language. Lucia offers particular attention to sleep and rest issues alongside common emotional difficulties.
She welcomes people from different backgrounds and takes a paced, flexible approach. People who want clear steps alongside kind listening tend to find this style useful. Those interested in starting are invited to use the site matching steps to connect and book a first appointment.
How client-centred and CBT ideas translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the counsellor listens closely and follows what matters most to the person. This approach helps when someone needs time to feel heard and to make sense of worrying thoughts or sleepless nights.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical steps to change them. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems by using small experiments and behaviour changes between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide how much listening and how many practical exercises suit you. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as you go.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm which options are currently offered before booking. One practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy week, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. Another advantage is easier access for people living further from in-person services. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises to an online meeting so that progress and practical tools continue between sessions.
