About Lucy

Lucy Caplan qualified as a counsellor in 2007 and is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She has worked consistently since qualifying across a wide range of issues, building experience with relationship breakdown, family difficulties, bereavement, abuse and domestic violence, stress and anxiety, depression, eating-related concerns, work-related problems, change management, loss, trauma, sexuality and addictions.

As an integrative counsellor, she draws on different therapeutic methods to match the needs of each person she works with, using approaches she has trained in to create a personalised path through whatever is causing difficulty. Her practice is strongly client-centred - she focuses on the matters clients bring and works collaboratively to find practical ways forward while remaining solution-focused. Colleagues and clients can expect a warm, non-judgemental and confident presence throughout the work.

Lucy offers long-term, short-term and time-limited therapy and provides sessions by telephone or video call to accommodate different preferences and practical needs.

Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Support

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, with the therapist offering empathy and understanding while helping people explore their feelings and priorities. This approach is useful for those facing relationship issues, identity questions, grief or a need for deeper emotional support.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is practical and goal-oriented, and it can be particularly helpful for anxiety, stress, low mood and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small, achievable changes to move a person toward their goals. It suits people who want targeted, time-limited work to address specific problems or transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lucy works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as sessions progress to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical benefits - clients can meet by video call or phone, or choose live chat or text-based messaging when that is more convenient. These options increase flexibility for people balancing work, family or other commitments and make it easier to maintain continuity of support across different circumstances.
