Izzy Lane Therapy
Izzy Lane Therapy
Hi, I'm Izzy. I offer online and phone counselling for people aged 16 and over, anywhere in the UK. Whether you're going through a difficult time or need somewhere to reflect on things, I'm here to listen with compassion and empathy.
About me
About me
I've spent my whole life supporting people with their mental health; through work, with friends and family, and often complete strangers. I've been working in mental health since 2016, and I bring the experiences I've gained over those years to every therapy session.
When we work together, my main focus is making you feel comfortable. I'll listen properly, with compassion and without judgement, so I can understand things from your perspective. It doesn't matter what your starting point is, or even if you're not sure what you want to get out of counselling. We'll figure it out together. And if you already know what you want to work on, we can dive straight in.
It's not surprising then that my approach is "person-centred," which simply means I follow your lead.
I don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions are always led by you and your needs, but I'll bring in different tools and techniques when they might help; whether that's help building self-compassion, working through unhelpful patterns step-by-step, or finding practical strategies to manage things like OCD, self-harm, or addiction.
I have a degree in Psychology from Leeds University and a Level 7 Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy (Distinction) from Leeds Beckett University. My counselling training was largely centred on the Relational model, a person-centred approach that focuses on your relationships, such as with friends, family, colleagues, yourself and your therapist. Through unhurried exploration and reflection of your thoughts and feelings with a counsellor like me, it is possible to gain real insight into things like your identity and issues you might be facing.
I'm a registered member of the BACP. Based in Leeds, I currently work entirely online and over the phone, so you can access therapy from wherever you are.
How I Work
How I Work
The First Step: A Free Chat
Finding the right therapist for you is important. I offer a free, 15-minute introductory call (by phone or video) so you can see if I'm the right fit. There's no pressure to commit.
This isn't a session or an assessment. It's just a conversation. You can tell me a bit about yourself, and I can answer any questions you have about therapy.
You are welcome to take some time to reflect after our first meeting and let me know if it feels like I am the right counsellor for you, before we book sessions.
If you'd like to go ahead, I'll send over some simple paperwork for you to complete before we begin (if you'd prefer to see the paperwork before our chat, just let me know and I'll send it over.) After that, it's up to you. Just reach out and book your first session whenever you're ready.
If for whatever reason you'd like to just go straight in with an initial session, that's absolutely fine. You can just book the first session instead.

How Long Will It Take?
How Long Will It Take?
That depends on what you need. I offer:
Short-term / time-limited therapy, a set number of sessions with a clear focus.
Long-term, open-ended therapy, so we can work together for as long as you need.
We'll regularly review how things are going and decide next steps together. You can end counselling at any point.
