Lucia Burridge , BACP

Lucia Burridge qualified as a counsellor in 2012, earning an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. After qualification she worked as a legal secretary for a time, but counselling remained central to her professional aims. Following several personal losses and traumatic experiences she accessed counselling herself, and through that process she found coping strategies and renewed purpose that encouraged her to move into practice.

She has seven years of counselling experience and currently practises part time, offering an integrative approach that combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Lucia places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, aiming to create a welcoming and nonjudgmental space for people from all backgrounds to explore stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and other life challenges. Her sessions balance empathic listening with practical strategies to help clients build tools for coping and change. Lucia holds BACP, which indicates membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is based in the United Kingdom and provides counselling in English.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Therapy

Lucia uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on building a warm, accepting relationship so clients can explore their feelings at their own pace; this approach is helpful for issues such as grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a structured method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Lucia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She combines empathic support with practical tools, tailoring the pace and focus to what will be most useful for the individual.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or those living outside the therapist's immediate area. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into daily life and access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations while working toward meaningful change.
