About Lucinda

Lucinda Slavin is a BACP counsellor based on the East Coast of the United Kingdom with eight years practising as a counsellor and over twenty years in the wider mental health field. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy and parenting issues, anger, and self-esteem challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and Lucinda does not take international clients.

Lucinda uses a Person Centred approach, often called Client-Centred Therapy, which means she focuses on what the client brings to the room and follows their lead. She aims to build rapport and be present even when conversations are quiet or difficult. That presence can include silence followed by careful questioning to help clarify what matters most to the client.

Her background includes many roles across mental health services prior to her counselling practice. That experience shapes how she listens and how she stays with people in painful moments. She describes her role as assisting clients to discover the answers they already hold.

Practical aspects are part of how she works. Lucinda has offered messaging, phone and video call sessions. She asks people to choose a time and place with minimal interruptions to get the most from a session.

Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session via the online therapy options button.

How sessions work

How Client-Centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of each session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and follows the client’s priorities. This approach suits issues like anger, relationship strain, grief, anxiety and coping with life changes where the person’s own perspective is central.

Lucinda uses a Person Centred stance in sessions, which means she stays present with what comes up and supports people to find their own answers. That can involve quiet moments, careful reflection, and gentle challenge when it helps the client make sense of feelings such as frustration or resentment. She works collaboratively to decide what feels most useful for each person.

Online work can make fitting therapy into daily life easier. Many people find phone or video sessions let them attend without travel and allow shorter check-ins around work or family commitments. Messaging can be used for brief reflections between sessions if the therapist offers it. Confirm which session formats are currently available before booking so arrangements match your schedule and needs.
