About Lucinda
Counsellor and BACP member Lucinda Slavin has eight years' experience working directly as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem and career matters. She also lists support for bipolar, ADHD and coping with life changes.
Lucinda uses a Person Centred approach, also known as Client-Centred Therapy, and works with people on the topics they choose to bring into sessions. She aims to build rapport and listen closely. Sessions may be quiet at times, and she allows space for reflection as well as for gentle challenge when needed.
Her background includes over twenty years in the mental health sector alongside eight years practising as a counsellor. That experience has seen her support people through trauma, relationship breakdown, bereavement, chronic health problems and work-related stress. She mentions specific additional focus areas such as attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family concerns and communication problems.
Lucinda offers messaging, phone or video call sessions. Sessions form part of a subscription service that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location. She works in English and does not take international clients.
To begin, people are asked to use the site button for online counselling options, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. This gives a straightforward route to an initial meeting and shows what session formats are currently available.
Client-Centred work and remote counselling
Lucinda practises a Person Centred, or Client-Centred, approach which centres on attentive listening and responding to what each person brings. This approach helps with anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and other issues by focusing on the client's own perspectives and pace.The method gives space for reflection and conversation. The counsellor aims to build trust and may leave silence to allow thought, or offer gentle challenges when appropriate. That way of working suits people who want to discover their own solutions with a counsellor's guidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lucinda will work collaboratively to decide what feels most useful, discussing goals and preferences together rather than imposing one method.
Her profile lists messaging, phone and video call sessions. If you need confirmation about formats or how sessions run, check the booking steps before you schedule. Remote sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life - for example a brief phone check-in during a lunch break, a video conversation from elsewhere, or messaging that fits around work and childcare. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these options to help sessions slot into practical routines without extra travel.
