About Lucinda

Lucinda Slavin is a counsellor who works from a Person Centred approach and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers calm, non-judgemental support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, and help with changes like separation or career shifts. She also supports those coping with trauma, chronic health challenges, ADHD and the effects of natural or human-caused disasters.

Lucinda draws on eight years practising as a counsellor and over twenty years of wider experience in mental health. Her style is straightforward and present. Sessions focus on what the person brings in and on helping them find their own answers. She places a high value on trust and the working relationship and is comfortable sitting with difficult or painful moments alongside a client.

In practice she listens closely and follows the client’s lead. Quiet pauses or moments of silence are used when helpful, then explored with care and respect. The aim is to help people build confidence and a stronger sense of self so they can manage current problems more effectively.

Her background means she is used to supporting people through grief, domestic violence, attachment issues, and long-term caregiving stress. She also helps with intimacy worries, body image, communication problems, anger, and compassion fatigue. Those facing the fallout from disasters or major life upheavals can find practical emotional support.

Sessions are arranged around the individual’s concerns and goals. Lucinda works collaboratively to set the pace and explore practical steps alongside emotional processing.

Person Centred counselling and online support

Lucinda practises Person Centred Therapy, which centres on listening and reflecting what a person experiences so they can explore their own thoughts and feelings. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and finding clarity during life changes.

Her counselling emphasises presence and trust. The therapist offers space for pauses and difficult emotions and works with clients to build confidence and practical coping skills. That collaborative tone means the therapeutic approach is reviewed and adjusted to fit what a person needs as work progresses.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around busy days and avoiding travel. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular contact during times of upheaval or after a disaster, and they allow short check-ins when a full in-person trip would be difficult. The original biography lists messaging, phone and video call sessions, so confirm which of these formats are available when you book. The therapist will discuss what format best suits your goals, comfort and daily routine.
