Lucinda Slavin , BACP

Lucinda Slavin is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and lives on the East Coast of the United Kingdom. She practices a person-centred, holistic form of therapy, collaborating with clients to explore the areas they wish to bring to sessions and supporting them to surface their own insights and choices.

With over twenty years of experience in the mental health industry and eight years working specifically as a counsellor, she has supported people facing a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues around self esteem and intimacy. She values the rapport between client and counsellor and is willing to remain present with a person in pain, using silence when appropriate and then gently challenging those moments with trust and understanding.

Her intention is to assist clients in moving toward a more confident and empowered way of being through therapeutic discovery of the answers they hold within. She offers messaging, phone, and video call sessions and kindly asks clients to attend from a private space with minimal interruptions to maximise the quality of the work.

Client-Centred and Holistic Support Available Online

Lucinda works from a client-centred perspective, which focuses on listening with empathy, accepting the person without judgement, and helping clients explore their own thoughts and feelings so they can find their own solutions. This approach is helpful for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and life transitions as it encourages self-awareness and personal agency.

She also adopts a holistic stance, attending to the whole person rather than isolated symptoms, and supporting clients in understanding how different aspects of life - relationships, work, bodily experiences, and emotions - interact. This can be particularly useful for clients coping with chronic stress, caregiver strain, or complex family and attachment challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and Lucinda will collaborate with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape the focus and pace of therapy.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility concerns. These options make it easier to access regular support with licensed professionals and therapists while fitting therapy into everyday life.
