Lucinda Slavin, BACP

Lucinda Slavin is a counsellor who works from a Person Centred approach. She is a BACP member and lives on the East Coast of the UK. Lucinda aims to help people find their own answers and build greater confidence in daily life.

She uses a calm, patient style that puts the client at the centre. Sessions focus on what the person brings - stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, trauma and other personal challenges. Lucinda also supports people coping with long-term illness, chronic pain, ADHD and caregiving strain.

Her background includes eight years practising as a counsellor and more than twenty years working across mental health settings. That experience informs how she listens and responds, especially when someone is facing big life changes or repeated loss.

In a session Lucinda offers quiet, steady presence. She says silence can be useful and that trust grows slowly. The work is collaborative - she asks questions, reflects what she hears and helps people notice their own strengths.

Practical matters such as messaging, phone and video call options are part of her practice. The pathway to starting therapy involves an initial matching step and scheduling according to what suits both person and counsellor.

People considering counselling with Lucinda are invited to reflect on what they most want to change and to use the short matching questionnaire to begin the process.

Person Centred support for online counselling

Person Centred Therapy is built around listening, acceptance and helping people discover their own answers. The counsellor offers non-judgemental attention and reflections to help someone notice choices, values and small changes they can make.

That approach suits many concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, coping with long-term illness and caregiving strain because it focuses on what matters to the person in front of the counsellor rather than on fixed techniques.

Finding the right way of working is a shared task. The counsellor will talk through goals and preferences and try different approaches within the Person Centred frame until a good fit is found. This is done together, with the client guiding which areas feel most important to address.

Please confirm session options before booking as formats in the biography are listed but practical availability can vary. The profile notes messaging, phone and video call options as part of the practice. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, medical appointments or caregiving duties, and phone or messaging can be useful when a shorter check-in is needed or camera use is difficult. Online work also reduces travel time and can help people keep continuity of care despite a busy schedule.
