Dave Lane

I have availability on Mondays for online or in-person sessions,  and Tuesdays and Fridays for in-person only. 

I am trained in a blend of psychodynamic and person-centred therapy. Psychodynamic therapy is the core of my practice but I am also informed and guided by person-centred principles.

Working with me will involve a deep and collaborative exploration of your present day life challenges and unconscious behaviours. We will wonder together about the ways in which your struggles may be informed by your past. In most cases, we will pay particularly close attention to your early life and the influence of family and other key figures and events from your childhood.

You may have a particular issue you wish to work on or perhaps you have a more general feeling about things not being quite right in some way or other. In either case, we can explore what you are struggling with together, in a safe and compassionate space. I am sensitive to how daunting it can feel to reach out to a therapist and begin this process but it can also be a wonderfully liberating step – choosing not to accept things as they are and actively working towards personal development and positive change.

If you're feeling lost, confused or stuck in yourself or the ways in which you relate to others, psychodynamic therapy can help you to unpick things and begin to understand yourself in a more thorough and compassionate way. We can work together in order to increase your feeling of autonomy in your life and strive towards positive change.

I offer a free 15 minute consultation which provides us with an opportunity to discuss what you are seeking therapy for and find out whether we would be a good fit to work effectively together. 

Following the consultation we can begin our sessions, which will be held weekly and will be 50 minutes long. The first session will give us a chance to begin to explore what you are struggling with presently.
