Lucinda Slavin , BACP

Lucinda Slavin is a counsellor based on the East Coast of the United Kingdom and a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She practices a person-centred, holistic approach that invites people to bring the issues they most want to explore and to work collaboratively toward their own understanding and change.

With more than twenty years of experience in the mental health sector and eight years practising as a counsellor, she has supported a wide range of people through challenges including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and other concerns. She places high value on the therapeutic relationship and the rapport that grows between counsellor and client, and she is willing to sit with painful emotions while also offering gentle challenge when that feels helpful.

Lucinda aims to help people move toward greater confidence and a more empowered way of being by exploring the answers they already hold within themselves. She offers sessions by messaging, phone, or video call and asks clients to be in a private, personal space with minimal interruptions to maximise the quality of each session.

Client-Centered Support for Online Sessions

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering a non-directive and empathetic space where people are helped to explore their feelings and find their own solutions. This approach emphasises understanding, acceptance, and the therapeutic relationship, and can be helpful for issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, and grief.

Alongside a person-centred, holistic outlook, the practice focuses on being present with strong emotions and on supporting clients as they develop greater confidence and self-awareness. These approaches work by encouraging self-directed discovery rather than imposing fixed answers, which can suit people facing life changes, trauma, career challenges, or parenting and intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which ways of working feel most helpful, taking into account individual needs, goals, and preferences rather than assuming a single method fits everyone.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for different schedules and circumstances. These options allow people to connect with therapists from home or other convenient locations, maintain continuity of care during busy periods, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
