About Katie
Counsellor and NCPS registrant Katie Lane has five years' experience working in mental health and wellbeing, including leadership roles in education and a private practice in the United Kingdom. She helps people with LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, anxiety and stress, addictions, depression, sleep problems and coping with life changes. Sessions also address career questions, compassion fatigue and trauma-related difficulties.
Katie uses a mix of client-centred and practical approaches in conversation. She focuses on listening and on what clients want to change. Sessions are collaborative and aim to identify small steps that make daily life easier.
Her background includes several years leading wellbeing work in educational settings, which informs how she supports people under pressure and those managing workplace demands. That experience also shaped her work with carers and people coping with chronic illness or caregiver stress.
Katie has worked with a range of intimacy and relationship topics, including communication problems, commitment issues, infidelity, and aspects of alternative sex culture such as BDSM and kink. She also works with body image, gender dysphoria, and issues linked to military or veteran life.
She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused techniques when practical strategies are needed. Psychodynamic ideas are used when looking at longer-standing patterns and early influences. Clients can expect clear discussion of aims and straightforward options for moving forward.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what the client brings, which helps when concerns are personal or sensitive. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will discuss different ways of working and agree with the client which methods to try. This is a collaborative decision based on the client's goals, what feels manageable and what they want to focus on.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you prefer particular session arrangements, confirm the current options before booking to make sure they match your needs. The counsellor will help plan sessions so they work around day-to-day commitments and offer methods that suit how you like to work, such as conversational exploration or focused practical tasks.
