About Lucia
Lucia Burridge is a counsellor who aims to help parents and carers who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or unsure about the next step. She writes plainly and listens closely, helping people talk through stress, loss and the knock-on effects parenting can bring. Lucia brings a calm, steady presence to sessions and focuses on practical ways to cope day to day.
She trained in counselling and psychotherapy and has seven years of professional practice.
Background and approach
Lucia draws on client-centred methods to build trust and make people feel heard. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to spot patterns and try new ways of thinking and acting. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual.
Lucia encourages people to bring specific parenting stresses, sleep or eating concerns, or relationship worries and to work through them one step at a time. She aims to help people develop routines and coping strategies that fit their lives. Lucia’s background includes working through her own losses and life changes, which inform her compassionate style.
She welcomes people from any background and places emphasis on a warm therapeutic relationship as the basis for change. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns from anxiety and depression to addiction, ADHD, grief and compassion fatigue. Lucia also supports people dealing with career strain, ageing issues, communication and attachment problems, and the practical challenges that come with major life transitions.

How her approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and building a trusting relationship. It helps when someone needs space to talk and to feel understood before making changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours; it is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and parenting stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest whether more listening-based sessions or CBT-style tasks make sense. This is a collaborative process where methods can be mixed and adjusted as needs change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different days and situations. Video calls are close to in-person conversations, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people pace reflection over time. These options make it easier to slot therapy into parenting schedules and other commitments.
