Josephine Lane, NCPS

Josephine Lane is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who draws primarily on person-centered practice to guide her work. She holds the NCPS credential - a professional qualification in counselling and psychotherapy - and has six years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of difficulties. Her integrative training means she blends approaches to match each client's needs rather than applying a single fixed model.

Trained in Solution-Focused methods as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), she uses brief assessment tools such as the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 to help clarify priorities and track progress. This combination allows her to tailor interventions to what will be most helpful for an individual, avoiding stigmatizing labels and focusing instead on practical, meaningful change. Her style is warm and interactive, offering respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the therapeutic relationship.

Josephine has worked within the National Health Service in an emergency 24/7 community mental health setting and has several years of experience with a mental health charity, supporting people with depression, anxiety, bereavement, loneliness, isolation, wellbeing, and relationship concerns. She approaches the work as a collaborative process aimed at empowering clients to move toward the changes they want, and she looks forward to working with people seeking support.
