About Lucinda

Lucinda Slavin is a BACP counsellor based on the East Coast of the United Kingdom with eight years working as a counsellor and over twenty years’ experience in mental health roles. She works with people who bring stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and difficulties with intimacy or parenting. Sessions are offered in English and she uses a person centred approach.

Lucinda uses the Person Centred Approach, also called Client-Centred Therapy, to help people talk through the issues they bring. She places importance on the relationship between counsellor and client and on building trust. This creates space for honest discussion and for people to consider what they already know about their situation.

Her past roles in mental health add practical experience supporting people through trauma, long-term health problems, bereavement, and workplace or caring stress. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar, attachment issues and communication problems when these arise in sessions.

Lucinda describes being willing to sit with difficult moments, including silence, and then gently challenge or reflect what comes up. Her aim is to help people move towards greater confidence by discovering answers that feel right for them.

She offers messaging, phone and video call sessions. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options they prefer and any details about cost or scheduling.

Client-Centred practice and online sessions

Lucinda uses the Person Centred or Client-Centred approach, which centres on careful listening and reflecting what a person says. It helps people who are coping with stress, anger, relationship strain or grief to explore their own thoughts and feelings without being led towards a solution.

That same approach in conversation helps with trauma and long-term difficulties too. The counsellor aims to build trust so people can speak honestly, notice patterns, and decide what changes they want to try. This approach works well for everyday problems and deeper emotional concerns because it focuses on the person’s own ideas and pace.

Finding the best way to work together is part of the process. Lucinda will discuss what feels most useful and adjust the sessions based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where options and aims are reviewed as therapy continues.

The biography lists messaging, phone and video call sessions. Please confirm the current session formats and any practical details before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or caring roles, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use ordinary breaks for appointments.
