Lucia Burridge , BACP

Lucia Burridge trained in counselling and psychotherapy, achieving an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy in 2012. After qualifying she initially worked as a legal secretary, but her interest in counselling remained constant and later life experiences led her back to the profession. Following significant personal losses and the benefit of receiving counselling herself, she developed practical coping skills and a desire to support others facing similar challenges.

Lucia has been practising counselling part time for five years, offering an integrative approach that blends Person-Centred principles with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She places strong emphasis on the client-counsellor relationship, creating a warm and nonjudgmental space where people from all backgrounds can bring a wide range of concerns. Lucia holds BACP, which indicates membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects her commitment to professional standards.

Her work focuses on helping clients feel comfortable during sessions while equipping them with tools to manage emotional difficulties and life changes. Lucia aims to support clients in exploring their experiences, building resilience, and finding practical strategies that fit each person’s unique situation.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Therapy

Lucia uses Person-Centred therapy to place the client's experience at the heart of treatment, offering empathetic listening and respect so individuals can explore feelings and discover personal solutions. This approach is well suited to people seeking a supportive space to process grief, relationship concerns, or life transitions.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying thought patterns and practical strategies to change unhelpful behaviors. CBT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and developing coping skills for day-to-day challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lucia will work with each client to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt methods over time to find the best fit for the person in front of her.

Online therapy with Lucia can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from diverse locations and to continue work during busy or changing circumstances.
