About Josephine
Josephine Lane is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief or relationship difficulties. She keeps sessions straightforward and approachable. Her style is warm and respectful and she works to make first steps feel possible for people who are anxious about starting therapy.
Josephine uses a person-centred way of working, listening carefully and responding to what each person brings. She draws on practical methods from cognitive behavioural ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try small changes.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are used when they suit the person’s pace and needs. She has six years of clinical experience that include hands-on work in a 24/7 community mental health setting for the National Health Service. Josephine has also supported people through a mental health charity, helping with depression, bereavement, loneliness and relationship concerns.
In sessions she will use screening tools such as the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 to help track mood and anxiety, and she adapts the approach to fit each person. Her aim is to avoid labels that feel stigmatizing and instead focus on practical steps and clearer thinking.
Josephine supports people with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, parenting strain, career stress and issues linked to identity and intimacy. She offers therapy in English and works from the United Kingdom.
How Josephine blends approaches online
Josephine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose values-based actions. ACT focuses on what matters to the person and small steps towards those goals. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments that change mood and behaviour.The choice of approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and suggest methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you will review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and doable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to suit different needs. Video is helpful for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make therapy more flexible around work, caregiving and travel, and they let people continue therapy from across the United Kingdom with registered or accredited professionals.
