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 working in mental health. She works with adults who bring stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, anger and issues with self-esteem. Lucinda also supports people dealing with bipolar difficulties, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and major life changes.
She uses a Client-Centred Therapy approach, also known as the Person Centred Approach. That means sessions focus on what the client wants to bring and move at the client’s pace. Lucinda prioritises building a trusting connection so people can talk through painful material when they are ready.
Her background in mental health includes a range of roles before qualifying as a counsellor, which informs how she listens and responds. She describes working alongside a person in difficult moments, sometimes holding silence and sometimes gently challenging unhelpful patterns. This mix of calm presence and thoughtful questioning shapes how she works.
Lucinda helps people address practical family and parenting stresses such as blended family issues, caregiver strain, communication problems, divorce and separation. She also works with more complex areas like attachment and abandonment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and domestic violence-related impacts on wellbeing.
Sessions are offered in English. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session via the online options button.
How sessions work
Client-Centred approaches and remote sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client as the expert in their own life. The therapist listens without directing, reflects what is said and follows the client’s lead so issues like anxiety, grief or parenting stress can be spoken about at a comfortable pace.Within this approach the counsellor pays attention to the relationship itself. Building trust and a steady connection helps when people want to talk about painful or confusing experiences, including trauma, attachment concerns or relationship difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lucinda will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and decide collaboratively which ways of working are most helpful. That conversation can include how often to meet and whether shorter check-ins or longer sessions suit current life demands.
The biography lists messaging, phone and video call sessions. If you need a particular session style, confirm the options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, allow quick check-ins during busy weeks, or avoid travel when energy is low. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the pace and format so sessions fit everyday life without adding extra logistical strain.
