Michelle Lane

I offer counselling during daytimes and evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and on Friday daytimes.  

I currently have availability for in-person, online or telephone counselling.

Sunday evening slots are available for online or telephone counselling.

Contact me - I offer a free 20-minute phone call, so I can understand what you are looking for and you can get a feel for how I work. 

Whether you are looking for support with a specific challenge or are aiming to better understand your thoughts and feelings, as an integrative counsellor I tailor my support to your needs and preferences.

You may want help with a specific issue, be experiencing difficult feelings or looking for a space to focus on you and reflect. I provide a space where you can talk at your own pace, confidentially. I’ll help you to explore your thoughts, feelings and life experiences, so that you can understand yourself and your experiences better and develop helpful strategies and solutions that work for you.

There may be a number of reasons you feel the way you do. Perhaps you’ve had some challenging experiences in your early years, in your relationships or your work, or you may have experienced a bereavement or loss.

As an Integrative Counsellor, Person-Centred counselling forms the foundation of my approach and I tailor my support to you by using tools and learnings from other approaches. Clients have said that they’ve found me to be warm, calm, patient and supportive.

I have experience working with a range of concerns, including:

· Difficult emotions such as worry, low mood and anger.

· Low self-esteem, self-criticism and feeling not good enough. Worrying about what other people think and comparing yourself to others.

· Overwhelm and stress. Juggling multiple demands, trying to do everything to high standards, and putting other people and commitments before your own needs.

· Abuse

· Navigating life changes

· Work challenges

· Relationship difficulties

· Bereavement and loss

I offer one-to-one counselling sessions to adults in-person in central Newbury, or alternatively online or by phone.
