About Lucinda
She prioritises the therapeutic relationship and creates space for both talk and silence. She often sits with difficult feelings alongside the person in the room, then gently challenges unhelpful patterns when the time feels right. This approach helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression or the effects of trauma and abuse.
Across eight years practising as a counsellor, and over twenty years in mental health work, she has experience supporting people with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, grief and anger. She also works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood difficulties, self-esteem, career stress and compassion fatigue.
Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, communication and commitment issues, and recovery from domestic violence or separation. Lucinda aims to help people become more confident and empowered by drawing out strengths they already have.
She offers messaging, phone and video call sessions and asks people to join sessions from a place with minimal interruptions. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Step 3
How a person-centred approach works online
Lucinda uses a person-centred way of working which centres on listening, empathy and helping people discover their own solutions. This approach focuses on creating a warm and non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and content of the conversation. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, relationship worries and many life changes.She values the relationship between counsellor and client and treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Together they will look at what matters most, try different ways of working and adjust the approach based on what helps the person feel understood and make progress.
Her practice offers messaging, phone and video call sessions as listed in the biography, though people should confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can fit around work, reduce travel time and make regular check-ins easier to schedule. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when you do not want to be on camera, messaging can suit short updates between sessions, and video calls allow face-to-face contact when helpful. These options are used to make therapy more manageable alongside everyday life.
