About Lucinda

Lucinda Slavin is a counsellor who uses a Person-Centred approach to support people through difficult times. She is a BACP member and draws on eight years practising as a counsellor, plus wider experience from over twenty years in the mental health sector. Lucinda aims to build a trusting relationship so people feel able to bring their concerns into sessions.

Her work focuses on thoughts and everyday habits alongside issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, anger and low self-esteem. Lucinda works with people affected by trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, bipolar difficulties and ADHD, and she also addresses matters like chronic illness, communication problems and major life changes.

In sessions she follows the Person-Centred model, which means she listens without judgement and follows what each person brings. She values silence when it is needed and will challenge gently when that helps build trust and clarity. The aim is to help people discover their own answers and move towards greater confidence and agency.

Lucinda offers messaging, phone and video call sessions. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

She is based on the East Coast of the United Kingdom and works in English. International clients are not accepted.

How Person-Centred Therapy works online

Person-Centred Therapy puts the person's own experience at the centre. The counsellor listens closely, accepts what is shared and follows the pace set by the person seeking help. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns where exploring thoughts and everyday habits is important.

Lucinda emphasises building trust and rapport even when working remotely. She will work with each person to decide how the sessions should proceed and which aspects of the Person-Centred way suit their goals. That collaborative selection helps ensure the approach matches what someone needs and prefers.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week, avoiding travel, and choosing shorter check-ins when time is limited. Lucinda offers messaging, phone and video call sessions, and the exact session formats should be confirmed before booking. The focus is on making therapy workable within everyday life while exploring thoughts, habits and the issues that brought someone to therapy.
