Lucinda Slavin, BACP

Lucinda Slavin uses a person-centred approach to therapy. She prioritises a warm, respectful relationship and helps people explore the topics they bring to sessions. Lucinda holds a BACP credential and has eight years practising as a counsellor, with a longer background in mental health work. She is based on the East Coast of the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

Her practice focuses on everyday pressures and deeper issues alike. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma or abuse. Relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting pressures, family matters and communication problems are also part of her work. Lucinda also addresses less visible struggles such as chronic illness, caregiver strain, body image and compassion fatigue.

Lucinda takes a calm, steady approach in sessions. The person-centred style means she follows the client’s lead, listens without judgement and reflects what comes up. That often looks like open conversation, pauses when needed, and gentle challenges when trust is established. Her aim is to help people notice their own answers and build confidence to act on them.

She has experience with additional focus areas such as ADHD, bipolar difficulties, attachment or abandonment concerns, and issues connected to autism and Asperger syndrome. Lucinda also helps people managing anger, control issues, commitment concerns and the fallout from separation or domestic violence.

Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, visitors use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How person-centred therapy works online

Lucinda uses a person-centred approach which focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental relationship. That means she listens closely, mirrors what a client brings, and encourages people to find their own solutions. This way of working helps with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and identity concerns by building trust and self-understanding.

She also draws on her wider mental health experience to support practical struggles like caregiver stress, chronic illness adjustments and workplace pressures. Together the therapist and client decide what to focus on and how sessions will proceed, so the approach is shaped by the client's needs and goals rather than a fixed technique.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people see each other and use visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging works for ongoing reflection between appointments. These options provide flexibility for different routines and commitments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and Lucinda will discuss what feels most helpful. She will collaborate with the client to adjust pace, format and focus so the therapy fits their life and practical constraints.
