About me
Hello. I’m Lucinda and I invite you to get in touch. I offer a free 15 minute initial consultation by phone or zoom, so that you are able to talk to me and ask any questions you may have.
About Counselling: Are you feeling out of control, anxious, burdened by your thoughts & feelings. Are you feeling isolated and alone with your challenges? Do you need a space to reflect on how you're experiencing the world? I offer a space where all of you is welcomed; your hurt, your pain, your sadness, your anger, your fear.
As a ND counsellor (Dyslexic AuDHD), I understand what its like to feel different to those around you, to grieve for yourself and parts that feel different to others, around you and I will support you as you reflect on your experiences. I work with clients helping to explore the way you experience the world and the challenges within an affirmative framework. I offer a confidential space, listen, without bias, helping you find answers. I am non-judgemental, respectful and compassionate. I work through a trauma informed lens, to create inclusive environments that affirm all gender identities. My practice is rooted in neuro-affirmative principles, centering the lived experiences and unique needs of neuro minority clients.
I understand that finding the right counsellor can be difficult and believe the relationship we develop builds trust and safety so that we can explore and understand your challenges. We are all unique and working as an integrative therapist I tailor each session to suit you and your needs, my job is to help unravel the sometimes confusing thoughts and feelings you've been keeping bottled up.
Availability and price: I work from central Banbury on Wednesday afternoons and evenings offering face to face counselling at a cost of £67.50 for individuals or £87.50 for couples. To help with affordability, I offer sessions fortnightly (as well as weekly) . I also work online via phone or zoom on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at a cost of £60 for individuals and £80 for couples.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
