Lucinda Slavin
Person-centred counsellor guiding personal discovery
About Lucinda
Lucinda Slavin works from a person-centred approach to counselling. She invites people to bring the concerns that matter most to them and aims to create a calm, respectful space for those conversations. Lucinda is a BACP member and has eight years’ experience as a counsellor, with a longer background in mental health work in the UK.
She listens without rushing and encourages people to find their own answers. Sessions can be quiet at times, and that stillness is used to build trust and understanding.
Background and approach
Lucinda focuses on everyday issues such as stress, anxiety and low mood as well as relationship and intimacy concerns. Her practice also covers grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions and coping with life changes. There is experience supporting people with trauma and abuse, bipolar needs, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Lucinda also works with a range of more specific difficulties including attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and domestic violence concerns. People can meet her by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary by location and therapist availability.
Lucinda works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Her aim is practical: to help people grow confidence and feel more in control of their choices. She helps clients notice what matters to them and supports small steps towards change.

Sessions & fees
Person-centred approaches and online counselling
Lucinda works mainly from a person-centred or client-centred approach. This means sessions focus on the person rather than on a set technique. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people uncover their own insights; this can be helpful for issues like anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and self-esteem.Her practice also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, parenting strain, ADHD-related challenges and long-term health issues by offering steady, empathetic listening rather than directive advice. The aim is to help people feel heard and to encourage gradual change based on what matters to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how each method might suit the presenting concerns. That conversation is collaborative and may lead to adapting how sessions are run to fit what a person wants to achieve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation while phone calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Messaging and text-based options are useful for shorter check-ins or for people who prefer writing to talking. These choices add flexibility and make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life.
