About Katie

Katie Lane is a counsellor who works with people facing relationship, intimacy, and LGBT-related concerns. She draws on five years of professional practice and holds NCPS accreditation. She aims to create a respectful, gentle space where people can speak openly about what worries them.

Katie has a background leading mental health and wellbeing in educational settings and also runs a private practice. She helps people with low self-esteem, motivation and confidence, and with stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those coping with life changes, trauma and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she adapts the way she talks to match each person’s needs. Katie says she provides unconditional positive regard and listens without judgement. She works with clients to build a plan that fits individual goals, whether that means improving communication, rebuilding trust after infidelity, or managing chronic pain and illness-related stress.

People often come to Katie for help with intimacy and sexual culture issues, including kink and BDSM matters, as well as for relationship struggles and commitment questions. She also accepts referrals around caregiver stress, body image and gender dysphoria concerns.

Katie uses a mix of established therapeutic approaches to shape each conversation. She focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions, alongside reflecting on patterns and past experiences that influence current life. To begin, she asks people to describe their situation so together they can agree a workable path forward.

How Katie's approaches translate to online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer self-understanding and a space to voice difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practising new behaviours.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Katie will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She reviews progress together and adapts the plan if needed so the work stays useful and relevant.

Practical benefits of online therapy depend on the session options offered. Please confirm current session formats before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online work can also make it easier to focus on homework between sessions and to sustain momentum during life transitions.
