About Lucia
Counsellor Lucia Burridge is a BACP member with seven years' experience working with stress, anxiety, grief, self esteem and depression. She also helps people with ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and career worries.
She trained in counselling and psychotherapy and practised part time for several years after earlier work outside the field. Personal experience of loss and receiving counselling shaped her decision to return to practice. She uses that background to inform how she listens and responds in sessions.
Her approach draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural elements. That means she pays attention to the relationship in the room while also looking at thoughts and patterns that affect daily life. Sessions focus on what feels most useful to the person in front of her.
Lucia aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. People can expect time to talk through current stresses, recent losses or long-term patterns. She will help identify small steps and coping ideas to try between sessions when these are helpful.
She works in the United Kingdom and offers help in English. People considering counselling are asked to check the available session options before booking. To start, users follow the site matching process and arrange a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the counsellor-client relationship. It means the counsellor listens with attention and reflects what a person says to help them make sense of things. This approach suits people who want a non-directive space to talk about loss, relationship strain or life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, pays attention to thoughts and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and changes to everyday thinking patterns to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits. CBT can be useful for stress, sleep problems, eating concerns and some aspects of addiction or ADHD-related coping.
Working out the best approach is part of the first sessions. Lucia will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. This is a collaborative process that can shift as needs change.
