Lucinda Slavin, BACP

Lucinda Slavin is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She uses a Person Centred approach and aims to help people find their own answers. Lucinda works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and the many challenges that can come with midlife changes.

She has eight years' experience working directly as a counsellor and more than twenty years in the wider mental health sector. That background means she has sat alongside people through grief, trauma, depression and life transitions. Her practice also covers issues such as parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD and career uncertainty.

In sessions she focuses on building a trusting relationship. She offers a calm presence and will sit with difficult feelings rather than rush past them. Silence can be used purposefully, and she balances listening with gentle challenge when it feels helpful.

Lucinda describes her role as helping people move towards greater confidence and agency. Therapy is presented as a collaborative exploration where the client’s own insights are central. Practical concerns such as communication problems, intimacy issues and coping after separation are commonly addressed.

She lives on the east coast of the United Kingdom and conducts work in English. The biography states she offers messaging, phone and video call sessions, so confirm current session options when booking. The BACP credential appears as provided in her profile.

Person Centred work and online counselling

Lucinda primarily uses a Person Centred approach. This means the counsellor focuses on listening carefully, offering empathy and helping the person access their own understanding of a problem. It suits issues like stress, relationship concerns, grief and coping with major life changes because it gives space for a person to reflect and build confidence.

The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. The counsellor will talk with the client about what they want to achieve, and together they will try ways of working that match those goals and preferences. Goals and methods can change as therapy progresses, and adjustments are made with the client's input.

Her profile lists messaging, phone and video call sessions, so please confirm current session options when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life and travel. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in when time is limited, while video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that helps the conversation. Messaging can suit people who prefer written reflection between meetings. These practical benefits often help people sustain therapy alongside everyday responsibilities.
