Lucy Caplan, BACP

Lucy Caplan qualified as a counsellor in 2007 and is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). Over the years she has built a wide-ranging practice, supporting people through relationship breakdown, family difficulties, bereavement, abuse and domestic violence, stress and anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, eating and sleeping issues, work-related problems and other life changes.

She works in an integrative way, combining approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to match the needs of each person she sees. In plain terms, that means she draws on different therapies she is trained in and adapts them to suit the goals and circumstances of the individual.

Lucy is client-centered and solution focused in her style, aiming to work on the issues the client wishes to prioritise while offering a warm, non-judgemental and confident presence. Her practice covers short-term, time-limited and longer-term work, and she offers sessions by telephone or video call to fit different schedules and preferences.

With 17 years of professional experience, she has worked across a broad spectrum of concerns including grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, anger and career issues, as well as specialist areas such as caregiver stress, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, infidelity, isolation, smoking and vaping cessation, and workplace problems. Her aim is to provide an effective therapeutic space where people can explore and work through whatever is causing difficulty in their lives.
