About Lucinda

Lucinda Slavin works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and a wide range of other life challenges using a person-centred approach. She is a BACP member and has eight years' experience working as a counsellor, following over twenty years in the wider mental health field.

Lucinda uses the Person Centred Approach. This means sessions focus on what the client brings and on their own resources and pace. She prefers a straightforward style, offering quiet presence as well as thoughtful challenge when it helps progress. Sessions can include moments of silence and reflection as part of the process.

Her background includes long-term roles in mental health settings before moving into counselling practice eight years ago. That work gave experience with a wide range of difficulties from longstanding mood problems to trauma, relationship breakdown and caregiving stress. She draws on that practical experience when helping people talk through current problems and make decisions about next steps.

Lucinda works with issues such as intimacy, self-esteem, anger, career concerns, ADHD, bipolar and complex family arrangements. She also addresses specific topics like body image, attachment concerns, blended family difficulties, and coping with chronic illness and loss. Her practice aims to help people find clearer thinking and more confidence over time.

Sessions are offered by messaging, phone or video call. Prospective clients are asked to check session arrangements before booking and to follow the steps on the platform to match and schedule a first appointment.

How Lucinda uses person-centred work in remote sessions

Lucinda uses the Person Centred Approach, which puts the client's concerns and choices at the centre of sessions and helps people clarify what matters to them. This method suits issues such as depression, grief, relationship concerns and low self-esteem because it focuses on the client's experience and pace rather than a fixed protocol.

The approach is mainly conversational and reflective, with the counsellor offering attentive listening, occasional challenge and space for silence when that helps someone think things through. That style can be useful for dealing with anxiety, stress, trauma-related distress and parenting or caregiving strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process aimed at helping the client identify practical next steps and changes.

Her profile lists messaging, phone and video call as session formats, so confirm which of these are currently offered before booking. Remote sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed and provide options for quieter, less demanding connections such as phone calls rather than being on camera.
