About Lucinda
Lucinda Slavin is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people make sense of difficult moments. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has eight years of counselling experience. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat and messaging to suit different needs.
Lucinda favours listening first and following what each person brings to the room. She focuses on building a steady rapport so people feel understood and able to talk about what matters.
Background and approach
Sessions can include silence, reflection and gentle challenge when it helps the conversation move forward. Her day-to-day work covers many concerns. These include stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, anger and self-esteem.
She also supports people facing trauma, abuse, bipolar difficulties and major life changes. Additional areas Lucinda attends to are attachment and abandonment issues, communication and control problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image. She also has experience relating to autism and Asperger syndrome and to complex family situations such as blended family issues and divorce or separation.
Clients come to explore what they want to change and to find practical ways of coping. Lucinda aims to help people discover their own answers and move towards a more confident way of living. She works in English and practices from the United Kingdom.

Person‑centred support online
Lucinda works with a person-centred approach that focuses on being with the person and following what they bring to sessions. This style is about deep listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers, which can help when facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns or parenting pressures.The therapist-centred aspects of her work include offering space for reflection and a calm presence. Sessions may be quiet at times and then move into gentle challenge when trust has grown. That way of working is useful for people who need time to think things through and build confidence in their own decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and help clients decide how to use sessions best. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual contact helps the conversation, phone can fit short check-ins or lower bandwidth needs, and messaging or live chat suits quick reflections or those who prefer typed communication. These options aim to make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around family, work and day-to-day life.
