About Lucinda
Lucinda Slavin uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client at the heart of therapy. She is a BACP member and practises in the United Kingdom. Lucinda writes in a calm, direct style and aims to help people find their own answers through conversation and reflection.
She focuses on the areas a person brings to sessions, including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, parenting concerns and anger.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing self-esteem problems, career questions, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD and coping with life changes. Additional topics she has worked with include body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and separation issues. Lucinda has eight years' experience working as a counsellor and more than twenty years in the wider mental health field.
That background means she is used to responding to a wide range of difficulties and to adapting her approach to what each person needs. In sessions she emphasises a warm, respectful rapport. She is prepared to sit with difficult feelings and to offer gentle challenge when it feels helpful.
The aim is to support people to grow confidence and to access their own resources and insights. Sessions are offered by messaging, phone or video call. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and practical details on the booking page.

How Lucinda works online
The person-centred method asks the therapist to provide a welcoming, non-judgemental space. The counsellor follows the client’s agenda rather than imposing a fixed plan. This can help people who want to explore feelings, build self-confidence and work through difficult decisions.
Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences, and together they will decide what feels most useful. Adjustments are made along the way if something isn’t working, so therapy evolves with the client’s situation.
Practical benefits of doing therapy remotely include fitting sessions into a busy routine and reducing travel time. Remote work can make it easier to check in during a lunch break or to continue sessions after moving home. Session options listed in the biography are messaging, phone and video call, so please confirm the current session formats and timing before booking.
