About me
Psychological Therapy with Dr Anne Lane
Taking the step to look for psychological support can feel significant. My aim is to offer a space that is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded; especially when what you are bringing feels complex, overwhelming, or difficult to put into words.
As a Clinical Psychologist with over twenty years of experience, I have worked extensively with children, adults, couples and families across a variety of clinical settings.
An Integrative, Tailored Approach
Many people seek out Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) because it is widely known. While CBT can be incredibly helpful and I use it where it fits, standard CBT doesn’t always address deeper emotional patterns or long-standing difficulties.
Because of this, my practice is more comprehensive. I draw on CBT alongside Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). This integrative approach allows us to look beyond surface behaviours and gently explore the deeper emotional processes, core beliefs, and the different "parts" of you that may be struggling, protecting or coping in conflicting ways.
The Therapeutic Relationship
Warmth, respect, and compassion are at the centre of my work. Evidence consistently shows that the therapeutic relationship is the single most important factor in meaningful change. I focus on working in a way that is deeply humane, respectful and entirely responsive to your pace and history.
Areas of Practice
I work with adults, the parents of young children, and young people experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including:
- Mood & Stress: Depression, ongoing unhappiness, anxiety, panic, chronic stress, and burnout
- Behavioural & Emotional Patterns: Obsessive or compulsive behaviors (OCD), eating difficulties, sleep problems, and anger or emotional regulation
- Relational & Situational: Relationship difficulties, couple work, social anxiety, and phobias
- Complex & Trauma-Informed Care: Trauma and PTSD, psychosis and navigating chronic pain or disability.
How We Begin
The thought of a first session can cause anxiety which is completely natural. We will always start by simply getting to know each other.
In our first session or two, we will explore what has brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. This is a low-pressure space for you to ask questions and see if working together feels right for you.
I purposefully adjust my style to suit your comfort level, asking more structured questions if talking feels difficult or listening carefully if you have a lot you need to share. Once we agree on the aims of your therapy, we will set a collaborative timescale and review it regularly to ensure it continues to meet your needs.
Taking the Next Step
If you are considering therapy and would like to discuss how we might work together, please feel free to get in touch.
