About Josephine
Josephine Lane is a counsellor who supports people dealing with depression, anxiety and life changes. She offers a calm, respectful space and aims to help clients take the first steps towards change. Josephine presents her work in plain terms and treats each person with sensitivity and compassion.
She follows a person-centred way of working that focuses on the client's experience and priorities. This means conversations tend to be warm and interactive, with the therapist listening first and guiding gently.
Background and approach
Josephine also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to shape practical steps when they suit a client's goals. Her background includes hands-on work for the National Health Service in a 24/7 community mental health setting. She has also worked for a mental health charity supporting people with bereavement, loneliness, and wellbeing concerns.
Those roles gave experience with crisis-facing work and longer-term emotional support. Josephine uses brief assessment tools such as the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 to track mood and anxiety symptoms. That helps keep therapy focused and shows changes over time.
She describes herself as an integrative counsellor, blending approaches to match each person's needs. Clients can expect straightforward, practical conversations about what is causing distress and what small steps might help. Josephine emphasises respect, non-judgement, and helping people feel more able to manage daily life.
She aims to empower people rather than apply labels.

Online support
She also works in a client-centred way, which places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. This approach is about listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions rather than directing them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and suggest which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy continues.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit more easily into a work break. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
