About Lucy
Lucy Caplan is a counsellor with 17 years of practical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress and a wide range of other concerns. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what is worrying them and take small steps forward.
Lucy qualified as a counsellor in 2007 and is a BACP member. She has spent her career helping people with relationship breakdown, bereavement, abuse and domestic violence.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with addictions, eating and sleep problems, work pressures and major life changes. Her style is broadly client-centred, which means sessions focus on the issues each person brings. She blends methods from different therapies to match individual needs.
That might include practical strategies to manage anxiety or short-term plans to tackle a specific problem. Lucy offers both short-term and longer-term work. She uses time-limited therapy when a focused outcome is wanted, and open-ended work when more exploration is needed.
Sessions are available by phone or video call to fit different schedules. People can expect a warm, non-judgemental approach. Lucy aims to be straightforward and supportive while helping people find steps that feel doable.
Her background across many areas makes her comfortable addressing complex or overlapping issues.

Online support
Finding the best approach is a shared process. Lucy will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let you talk face to face without travelling. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives while keeping the focus on practical progress.
