Lacap supports low-fee work (e.g. a person not in work would expect to pay under £10 per session). Lacap's therapists are encouraged to charge fees for the therapy because it gives an additional meaning and impetus to the work. The fees that form a part of the working contract will always be based on the individual's ability to pay.

Lacap does not restrict itself only to low-fee work, but has a sliding fee scale. Where a referral is made and that patient can afford a standard (£25-£30) or high fee, the therapist will undertake the treatment at those affordable rates - in effect there is an internal re-distributive tax policy

This is an essential element for us, because such standard or higher fee patients subsidise the work at lower fees

Lacap wanted to deal with the question 'what happens after brief intervention?'. Lacap was formed as a response to the perception that current service provision fails some of those who could most benefit from a prompt, sustained therapeutic intervention but who cannot afford it privately. Lacap was formed in September 2000 as a Charitable Unincorporated Organisation, and has some twenty+ therapists on its register.
