Katie Lane, NCPS

Katie Lane works with people to change unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits. She uses clear, practical conversations to help clients tackle anxiety, low mood, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues linked to self-esteem. Katie presents herself as calm and respectful, and she aims to make it easier to say what matters to you.

Katie has five years of clinical experience and carries the credential NCPS, which is shown after her name. Before private practice she led mental health and wellbeing work in educational settings. That background informs how she plans sessions and supports people through life changes.

Her approach is collaborative. Katie listens first and then tailors the work to each person’s needs. She draws on client-centred methods to follow what you bring, and uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thinking patterns and habits that keep problems going.

Sessions can cover a wide range of concerns, including LGBT matters, relationship or intimacy difficulties, stress, addiction, sleep problems and career-related worries. She also works with trauma and compassion fatigue and offers help with body image, communication problems and caring-related stress.

Katie describes therapy as a step-by-step process. She supports people who want practical change as well as those who need time to understand how past experiences still affect them. To start, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters most to you; it helps when you need space to be heard and to work out your goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood or difficulties with everyday habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with you to decide which methods suit your goals and preferences. That collaboration means plans change as you progress and different tools are tried when needed.

If you are considering online work, check the current session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or make it simpler to access support from your local area. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements so sessions fit your daily routine.
