Josephine Lane , NCPS

Josephine Lane is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who works primarily from a person-centered perspective while drawing on a range of other modalities to meet each client's needs. She is trained in Solution Focused work as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and she uses standard assessment tools such as the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 to help tailor treatment. Josephine holds NCPS, a professional counselling credential, and approaches therapy without stigmatizing labels, offering a warm, interactive style that emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Her background includes hands-on work within the National Health Service in an emergency 24/7 Community Mental Health setting as well as several years supporting people through a mental health charity. In those roles she has supported people presenting with depression, anxiety, bereavement, loneliness, isolation, health and well-being concerns, and relationship difficulties. She recognises that seeking therapy often takes courage and that beginning change can be challenging. When clients are ready to take that step, Josephine offers support aimed at empowerment and practical progress. She looks forward to working with people who want compassionate, tailored care.

Therapeutic approaches suited for online care

Josephine draws on several practical, evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports building a values-driven life - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional safety, which can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and feelings of abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic relationship in which the therapist follows the client and supports their own ability to grow and change - this approach can be helpful for a wide range of concerns including grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Josephine works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client can adapt strategies over time as goals evolve, ensuring the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Josephine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and life demands. These options make it straightforward to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or on the go, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the individual.
