About Lucy
Lucy Caplan helps people facing a wide range of concerns. She works with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression and stress. She also supports people dealing with relationship and family tensions, parenting strain, workplace pressures and life changes.
Lucy became a counsellor in 2007 and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She brings 17 years of practice to her work. That experience covers short-term and longer-term work, and different ways of working depending on what a person needs.
Background and approach
Her style is straightforward and warm. She describes her approach as client-centred, which means the sessions focus on the issues the person wants to address. She also uses solution-focused ideas and practical tools to help people move forward.
Lucy uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches and motivational interviewing when these suit the person and their goals. She adapts what she does to each person instead of using the same plan for everyone. Sessions can be arranged as phone calls, video calls, live chat or text-based messaging.
People who choose to work with her can expect an open, non-judgemental space to talk things through and work on realistic goals. Lucy aims to help people build clearer thinking, better coping strategies and small steps toward change.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and try different ways of working to match goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape whether work is brief and solution-focused or more exploratory and ongoing.
Online therapy with Lucy can be done by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typed conversation or need flexibility outside scheduled calls. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
