About Lucinda
She has eight years’ experience working directly as a counsellor and over twenty years in the wider mental health sector. That background means she has supported people through a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. She also works with issues around body image, parenting strain, chronic illness and trauma and abuse.
Sessions focus on building rapport and trusting connection. Lucinda describes being present alongside someone in distress, sometimes sitting with silence, and then gently challenging or reflecting to help understanding emerge. The aim is to help people recognise their own resources and make choices that feel right for them.
She lists work on intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD and bipolar among her areas of interest. Additional focus areas include attachment concerns, communication problems, blended family issues and coping after separation or domestic violence.
Lucinda offers messaging, phone and video call sessions. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time; she asks clients to check their surroundings are quiet and with minimal interruptions before a session.
How a Person-Centred Approach Works Online
Lucinda works from a person-centred perspective, which means she places the client's experience at the heart of sessions and follows their lead. This approach focuses on listening, reflection and building a trusting connection so people can talk through what matters and discover their own solutions. It is often helpful for issues like anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and body image struggles.She also brings a broad mental health background to conversations, which helps when people bring complex or long-standing difficulties. The counsellor stays alongside the client through painful moments, using moments of silence and careful reflection to deepen understanding and support emotional processing.
Finding the right therapeutic way forward is a collaborative process. Lucinda will work with each person to decide which ways of working feel most helpful, adjusting the pace, focus and techniques to suit personal goals and preferences.
