About Lucy
Lucy Caplan is a counsellor with 17 years' experience supporting people through addiction, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She also helps with stress, self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, parenting pressures, career concerns and anger. Lucy practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Lucy trained as a counsellor in 2007 and is a registered member of the BACP, which she cites as her professional credential.
Background and approach
Her background includes long experience across common presenting issues such as bereavement, domestic violence, work-related stress, change management and sexuality matters. She has worked with people facing drug and alcohol problems and caregivers dealing with ongoing strain. Her style is warm, non-judgemental and client-centred.
She starts from what the person wants to focus on and shapes sessions around those priorities. Lucy also uses a solution-focused outlook to help people identify practical next steps they can try between appointments. Lucy describes her approach as integrative, drawing on several therapy methods so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
She uses straightforward language and aims to build confidence and clarity as issues are addressed. She offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on the situation. Sessions can be arranged to suit individual needs, with options for telephone or video calls noted as part of her practice.

How Lucy works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help decide whether a client-centred style, CBT techniques or another method is most useful for a person's goals. That choice is made together and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to continue work when meeting in person is difficult. Telephone calls can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth or being on camera is an issue, while video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Confirm the current session options before booking so arrangements match practical needs and daily routines.
