Katie Lane, NCPS

Katie Lane is a counsellor who centres sessions on the client's experience. She uses a respectful, sensitive style and aims to create a space where people can speak openly. Katie holds NCPS and has five years of clinical experience.

She has worked for many years leading mental health and wellbeing in educational settings and also runs a private practice. That background means she is familiar with practical pressures at work and study. People come to her for issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem and motivation.

Katie also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, LGBT matters, and coaching around life changes. Her additional focus areas include compassion fatigue, career questions, sleep problems, and challenges linked to chronic illness or caregiving. She lists a wider range of concerns she can address, such as infidelity, divorce, and body-image worries.

In sessions she adapts the conversation and plan to each person. Katie draws on client-centred work to follow the person's lead, cognitive behavioural ideas to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and solution-focused methods to find concrete next steps. She also brings psychodynamic perspectives to notice repeating patterns that matter now.

Katie describes therapy as a collaborative journey. She invites people to take the first step and says she will work alongside them to build practical tools and clearer thinking. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are conducted in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. The counsellor offers empathy and helps the person find their own solutions, which suits people seeking a supportive space to talk through problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then together they will test different ways of working to see what helps. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as things progress.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around busy days and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep appointments during work hours, support shorter check-ins when needed, or offer conversations without needing to use transport.
